Won’t happen, but it would be really nice
I would laugh very hard at his misfortune.
And the note they would end on in the history books, too.
Misfortune?
I’d rather say very well fucking deserved consequences.
When I think these ghouls cannot be more soulless and harmful, they pull things like this out of the arse that is their entire body
Facebook and instagram shutting down might be the greatest thing to happen to society in the last 20 years
that was obama
Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard
Zuck: Just ask.
Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS
[Redacted Friend’s Name]: What? How’d you manage that one?
Zuck: People just submitted it.
Zuck: I don’t know why.
Zuck: They “trust me”
Zuck: Dumb fucks.
Don’t be a dumb fuck, do not trust Zuck.
It’s so crazy that this came out and is widely known and even people who know about it keep using his service while he is still CEO. Some segments of the masses are truly beyond saving. I guess Zuck wasn’t wrong about them being dumb fucks at least
Fuck that guy
I wouldn’t, he’s ugly
What about for 1 million?
Those are rookie numbers
This is why I never made a Facebook account, seemed pretty clear to me.

could
But won’t
I’m not optimistic. Sure there have been (and will be more) settlements, but substantive policy change at the federal level is desperately needed.
If you know someone who teaches young people, go talk to them about how kids are in the classroom now. The teachers I know tell stories of kids who can’t focus for more than 60 seconds, or answer a question when the answer is literally written on the board in front of them. They can’t function without AI, and even worse, challenge teachers to explain to them why they need to learn something when AI models can do it for them. And administrators pressure teachers to just move these kids along despite their deficiencies. This is all on top of the well-documented mental health problems experienced (and likely caused by) social media use.
This is, in my view, already a crisis and I have the sinking feeling it won’t be addressed in any meaningful way until the widespread social consequences are undeniable.
i realize im completely out of touch with kids lives these days, but its hard to believe its really that bad with chatbots in school. like it sounds like hyperbole, so if its really that bad the next few decades are gonna fucking suuuuck
They are indeed going to fucking suck. Eventually these kids have to try and do actual work.
They’ll just get end up getting subsidies if they have to even pay anything
Meta has literally been responsible for a huge swath of misinformation. The sooner that company dies, the better.
PLEASE God let there be SOME way for Trump to PROTECT this BILLIONAIRE!
-Republicans trying to Save The Children TM!
Shut them down. It would be a huge net win for people everywhere. It is horrible seeing friends, family, clubs and institutions all captured by meta. They are a blight on society.
Here’s hoping…
Get owned fuckerberg
Zuck Sux
I work at Meta. They’ll spend 1/10,000th of that on lawyers and lobbying instead. There’s a zero point zero percent change that even a fraction of this gets paid.
And the states suing know that too - it’s just politicians trying to grab headlines.
Also it’s generally understood that these lawsuits are just ways for countries to get money from Meta, since it looks a lot better than saying you’re taxing the social media giants
Anyone remember why they became Meta in the first place? I don’t exactly but there was huge news at the time that they were burying. I think it was a whistle blower that was exposing this exact story or something like it.
Just negative publicity in general. Facebook had become a shithole for boomers and Zuck had some controversies to bury.

“The move follows a series of negative stories about Facebook, based on documents leaked by an ex-employee.”
“Frances Haugen has accused the company of putting “profits over safety”.”
Context: Facebook didn’t have good security measures for user data back then, and not many people cared. Then Cambridge Analytica happened. Facebook was fined a pittance, and went back to business as usual.
Over the years, people started pointing fingers (they were slow to do so, since in a way, this was every Facebook user’s fault). But eventually, Facebook became one of the most hated companies, alongside big oil and war profiteers.
Keep in mind, Facebook is one of the first companies ever to blatantly take and sell your data for profit. Their success story and eventual incorporation led to many others copying their business model, which led to the enshitification of the internet as you see today. Hence why Zuck’s infamous conversation with a colleage became so well known.
On that note, rebranding works pretty well against the public. Nobody outside the legal system has time for corporate renaming shenanigans. The average joe is not going out of their way to keep track of names, so they will just give up and move on with their lives. People forget.
The hated company stops being hated, profit train keeps a-chuggin’.
Those bastards!
