This is quite concerning
We should teach critical thinking and logic skill from month one. There will be so much propaganda and misinformation from this point on, being able to spot it, most of the time with common sense, would nip most of this crap in the butt.
Come on, you know those who have the influence over this don’t want it. Remember: Donald Trump loves the uneducated 👍
And still it would not be enough. You need to trust some core institutions and delegate on some people who know more than you, you can’t be an expert on everything. Even smart people can be deeply wrong if they trust the wrong people or if they think their expertise makes them an expert on everything. You also need a little intellectual humility.
yet another year goes by where tech companies seem to be influencing the state.
What a fascinating time to live in.
Fascist-inating indeed.
Fascist-enabling eh?
Of course they are. There’s money involved.
weird how money seems to play a role in something thats supposed to be controlled by the people
Since corporations are people now, it is.
i thought the whole point of corporations was that they werent people
Well the people want more money. They can’t have enough of it
To be fair, corporations have always influenced the government. For better, or for worse.
still trying to figure out why. Seems like the counter intuitive thing to happen. But what do i fucking, i’m just a citizen of the US, the US government is responsible to me, it’s not like i have a say in this or anything.
Don’t want to repeat myself, so I’ll just point you to this comment from me.
I kind of can’t stand Biden, in spite of the many surprisingly good things he’s done in the last few years.
But god damn if this isn’t the kind of action from Meta that can only help Trump.
I am sorry to feel that this decision from Meta has much more to do with certain ongoing wars and preferred candidates than any “EU legislation.”
Meta wants Trump. Meta wants fascism.
Meta knows these Trump Republicans can be easily duped.
in spite of the many surprisingly good things he’s done in the last few years
…that’s about when I stopped reading.
I like it how people use meta and then also hate and complain about it. Let’s gooooo!
its* tool for election integrity.
I wonder if Zuckerberg knows that his bunker won’t save him?
A practical demonstration may be necessary
he knows where his bread is buttered
Concerning is that someone thinks that something from meta can be used as a tool for election integrity
Weird this is again making the rounds after the news is 2 years old.

Looks like they delayed the shutdown, but then announced last month that they’re going to do it finally.
From the article that you linked…
Today’s report says Meta began an official process to shut down the tool in February but paused it due to the EU’s Digital Services Act push.
What is CrowdTangle
Well it says in the title, so….
We are at the point where people don’t even read the entire headline.
We’re at the point of what?
nobody reads the headline because the headline is often just wrong, or flat out lying to you.
Nobody reads the contents of the article because 90% of the time it’s just blabbering on about how social media was in 2009, or how their grand mother used to make cookies, or how printing is so annoying because the ink ALWAYS seems to be running out.
Rather than actually fucking talking about the topic on hand. Not to mention all the ads and placements that are put over this shit, the ad block blocker pop ups, the paid services like the NYT forcing you into not reading it at all “because you’ve used your reading quota for the month” The sheer amount of fucking time it takes to load what is basically just HTML text on a background, but it isn’t because it uses JS because fuck you i guess.
The internet is incredibly hostile these days. It’s impossible to do something on it without a door to door salesman pestering you every fucking step of the way.
