    Not surprising at all.

    US will remain a chauvinistic plutocracy until Zuckerberg and all his goons are caught and put in ball and chains.

    And that’s just one case, there is also Meta’s enablement of the Rohingya genocide, which is arguably a far more serious crime than systematic enablement of mass scale fraud.

    Meta actively doesn’t care about AI fake profiles or scammy shit.

    Even TikTok cares more and actually take down shit if you report it and it’s supposed to be the evil propaganda machine 😆

    I deleted my Facebook profile last year after 18 years and never looked back. It’s a totally different platform than what I signed up for almost two decades ago. Absolutely zero value for me now.

    I’m so glad Valve is releasing a VR headset so I don’t need to have anything to do with a trash company like Meta.

    As if there’s not already more than enough reasons to always have an ad blocker… If you absolutely still need to use Facebook and Instagramto keep in touch with people, there’s browser extensions and patched apps that still block the ads.

      If you are on Android, Revanced has several ad-free versions for popular applications like YouTube and spotify. I paid 30 bucks for a lifetime subscription to AdGuard back in 2019 and the experience has been extraordinary.

      It’s always a jarring experience to use someone else’s phone. Ads take up at least a third of the screen at any given time now. I’m not swimming in that shit.

    Harder to find? When I accidentally go to Facebook I exclusively get scam ads (I disabled ads personalization, though)
