Its about time Zuckerberg

Its always fun, and at the same time disheartening, to once again have proof that our fellow American democrats tried and will continue to attempt to shut down free speech. The rats on here denied it even in the face of overwhelming evidence, over and over and over again. They did it out of pure ignorance/stupidity or they did it because they are pieces of shit who will defend taking away people's rights for the left's power over the people.

Zuckerberg will now be an enemy of the left. Just like the rats did with Musk. Step off the plantation while exposing their absolute corruption, and you will be the enemy. Was listening to Shapiro this morning and prior to when the government finally got their way with social media companies (until Musk bought X), he was getting 1 billion hits a month. It went down over night to 100 million per month.

Thank God Trump won. The 20th can't come fast enough.

Meta is ending its fact-checking program | Fox News

This is a great opportunity for us to reset the balance in favor of free expression. As Mark says in that video, what we're doing is we're getting back to our roots and free expression," Kaplan told "Fox & Friends."

Meta’s third-party fact-checking program was put in place after the 2016 election and had been used to "manage content" and misinformation on its platforms, largely due to "political pressure," executives said, but admitted the system has "gone too far."

    Watching the insane progressive worldview collapse like a house of cards and seeing the libs here spasm about or hide is the sweetest victory of all tim.

    Facebook sucks. About 81 out of every 100 posts are advertisers or outside my friend group.

    I already know who most of the communists are but its good to keep tabs on them and slap them around every once in a while.

    Ace laments the collapse of the fact checker grift.

    Conservatives immediately cheered Meta's changes while others, including misinformation experts, warned Meta's platforms would become even more of a cesspool. False and hateful content will likely become even more commonplace on the social networks.

    The changes will also likely lead to layoffs at some news outlets. As journalist Jane Lytvynenko noted on Bluesky, Facebook and Google are "chief funders of fact-checking outlets" around the world, and "there are newsrooms around the world for whom that funding means survival."

    "For those using the platforms, it means they are again on their own to discern what's genuine information and what's not," Lytvynenko added.

    Oh no. People will have to "discern for themselves" what is true or not without the censorship services provided by bottom-feeding 22-year-old Oberlin College graduates with no other job prospects?

    Whatever shall we do?

    And this means that these bottom-feeding no-account unemployables will suddenly be unemployed? Anything but that!

    BREAKING: Fact-checkers claim they were blindsided by Meta's decision to end their partnerships and reportedly fear they won't be able to secure new business to fill the void, potentially putting them at risk of going out of business, according to Wired.

    Please not the "fact"-checkers! Please don't let them lose their funding!

    Even though their entire racket was to create a pretext for social media monopolies to ban other people's speech, and to toxify the right so that no advertisers would do business with them!

    But no, not the "fact"-checkers!

    Update -- Breaking: "Fact"-checkers have called an emergency meeting.

    In an exclusive interview with Business Insider, IFCN Director Angie Holan confirmed that the meeting, scheduled for Wednesday, was organized in direct response to Meta's decision...

    The meeting is expected to draw between 80 to 100 attendees from IFCN's network of fact-checkers, which spans 170 organizations worldwide. Not all of the attendees are Meta fact-checking partners, although many of them have a stake in the program's future and its global implications.

    FaceBook and Google definitely are paying most of the salaries of these censors. When the left and then the Obama and Biden Administrations demanded censorship, FaceBook and Google wanted to provide it for them. But they wanted to do so with plausible deniability.

    So they began paying outlets to take on fact-checkers whose salaries were paid by FaceBook and Google (if my understanding of this is correct). In return, outlets who agreed to prop up the new censorship regime, like Bill Kristol's Weekly Standard, would gain favorable treatment from FaceBook's algorithm.

    Then FaceBook and Google would take the "fact"-checks provided for by the "fact"-checkers whose salaries they were paying and use them as a basis to censor speech -- claiming that "third party independent fact-checkers" had ruled this speech as false or "hateful."

    I'm sure they also paid millions and millions to Politi-"Fact" and other "fact" check organizations.

    So yes, FaceBook deciding to pull the plug is a very real threat to these censors' ability to play censor. At least, more of them will have to go back to just demanding censorship freelance on Twitter.

    Politi-"Fact" whines that it's not true they engaged in censorship -- all they did, after all, was provide extremely partisan fake fact checks labeling any speech they disagreed with "false" or "hateful" and then FaceBook would ban it.

    We didn't ban anything, they cry! We only provided the "independent" pretext for censorship that all the left was demanding, and we continued labeling all conservative speech as "disinformation" and "hatespeech" once we saw all of this speech being censored!

    I don't have a Facebook page and I can't not spend time on Facebook any more than I am currently not spending time on Facebook.

    Hope this fulfilled your desire to hear from me.

    His lack of friends on FB is a sad reminder for H, which is why he only checks periodically to see if anyone accepted one of his dozens of requests.

    I think I'd have to have a Facebook page/account in order to check.

    45% of my Fakebook feed is arguments over Geno Smith and dumbass 12s saying, "haters," and proclaiming themselves the "real fans." You can't forget Linda and Barbara who post 50 blue and green hearts and pictures of their rat dogs wearing toddler 12 jerseys. I'm off topic and I don't care. 50% is culture war clickbait nonsense. Very little of it is actual posts from friends.
