Mark Zuckerberg was caught sucking off a gnome on runway 16R/34L of Denver International Airport last night, causing massive disruption and delaying several flights.
Facebook's parent company will make changes to its fact-checking to more closely resemble the site formerly known as Twitter.
The CEO will call people he disagrees with a r****d?
Honestly surprised people still use Facebook besides old people. Most people I talk to around my age or younger say they don't have it at all, only use it to keep in touch with certain people, or use it for business related reasons. My nieces and nephews straight up think it's just a site for old people. If Meta didn't have other sites like Instagram they probably wouldn't nearly be as big as they are.
The generation that warned their children about brain rot have succumbed to that brain rot.
With gusto.
Facebook is for old people and idiots in general. Sadly some people have no other means to stay in touch so they have to use FB. It would be fair for them to believe that are actually in hell
Insta is ubiquitous and it’s run by the same amoral assholes. 😞
I'm not sure I want Facebook/Zuckerberg deciding what is and isn't 'fact'.
They "trust me" dumb fucks
They trusted that Zucker was a hell of a lot smarter than he actually is. That he was smart enough to recognize that building the Internet from square one on a foundation of lying and fraud wasn't going to end up creating anything of value.
Oops.
Can't blame them. Facts no longer matter.
Or they can crowd source instead of paying a firm and get the same results for practically free. It's the same way Xitter and Wikipedia and other wikis operate.
