@wdlindsy@toad.social"The American-Filipino journalist [Maria Ressa] said Mark Zuckerberg’s move to relax content moderation on the Facebook and Instagram platforms would lead to a 'world without facts' and that was 'a world that’s right for a dictator'.'"

"It’s a retreat from limiting harm to users….
It was never about facts nor should it have been. It was always about limiting harm to Facebook users and advertisers. No reputable company wants its product or service placed next to a gruesome image of sexual exploitation, violence or bigotry."

"As I reported on Monday, for months Meta has been blocking dozens of LGBTQ related hashtags from search and down-ranking LGBTQ content. Meta’s new “free speech” policies do nothing to ensure ''errors' like this don’t continue to occur.

"Billionaires like Zuckerberg aren’t champions of free expression, they’re opportunists weaponizing the concept of free speech to shield themselves from accountability and cater to an increasingly radicalized, politically motivated base. Their performative policies ultimately undermine the very principles they claim to espouse.
It’s notable that conservatives, who claim to champion free speech, have been at the forefront of efforts to restrict it."
@wdlindsy Zuckerdork, and his platform, were always Maga, just didn't say it publicly.
@yuhasz01 I agree.
I think we should reconcile that #conservatism is dead.
It’s been replaced by reactionaries.
@wdlindsy
I'm kinda loving the brutal roasting of Zuck about "free speech."
@CatHerder I am, too, and the trolling I'm seeing on social media where people are posting all sorts of made-up crap about Zuckerberg, reinforced by made-up photos, since free speech, after all — and facts don't matter.
@wdlindsy
I was laughing pretty hard at the "free speech" Zuck mock ups yesterday.
I hope it never stops.
@CatHerder I'll admit, I've been laughing, too, and also shaking my head that it has come to this.
Im so sorry (but not surprised) to read this.
Our LGBTQI friends need increased not diminishing support in these dark days.
It is all, indeed, putrid.
@Godfrey642 I agree — putrid, and LGBTQI people need strong support right now and will have even greater need of support once Trump takes over.

I started posting this photo a few months ago:
"The last known photograph of the late #ElonMusk shortly before he discontinued #FactChecking on his website."
This docu-scifi features many of Ressa's interviews

@Sassinake Thank you very much for that. I really like her, what she does and says.
a chilling watch - I had to take breaks - but a good synthesis on what we are collectively going through.
To me, it's an update to Orwell's 1984
@Sassinake I will watch. Thank you for recommending this.
@Sassinake Orwell was just so incisive — never grows old.
