Social Facebook is changing

[chardog]

Dana White taking charge of Facebook wasn't in my calling card for 2025.

you knew something was up when zuck started appearing at UFC events, I thought it was zuck possibly making a deal with dana......... it was a deal alright, definitely not what I was expecting either. Mega profiles dont randomly show up at events and take up airtime, it's usually to market something/business. I get that he can simply be a fan, but the spotlight on him was a bit much at his last appearance, cornering, on social with dana........

Holy fuck this forum looks ugly AF, I don’t post for a couple days and the whole place goes to hell…

You're advocating against freer speech because your got your marching orders from the media that Elon is a bad man and you need to pretend like Twitter is a wasteland of filth now that he took over.

He's not perfect and I certainly don't condone a lot of the decisions he's made but the platform sure as hell censors way less than it ever did in the past and that's a good thing.

I don't recall you up in arms when conservatives were being censored. Wonder why that is?

Ah, the ol “MSM gives me my matching orders” argument. I can always count on that one.

This entire narrative about Musk loving free speech is nonsense—and it’s not just a case of Musk vs the libs either. He’s taken away the ability to monetize content for certain MAGA faithful who call out his immigration views, he banned Laura Loomer a week or two ago…and aside from that, he’s still shadowbanning people, he accused Apple of hating free speech by—ironically enough—using their free expression to stop advertising on his shit site, while skimming through news sites this morning I came across this article about Musk restricting a journalist’s account…I could go on.

Who got their account reinstated when Musk took over? People like Andrew Anglin, founder of the neo-Nazi Daily Stormer website, and QAnon shitbag Liz Crokin.

So no: this isn’t a case where Musk is Mr. Free Speech Guy and thus there are more views circulating. He’s making pretty deliberate decisions about which views have a home on X and which don’t.

You getting your marching orders is true. I mean you're repeating MSM reports in this very post. No one knows who Andrew Anglin or Liz Crokin are but the media scrounged around and found a reason to write an anti Elon article and you ate it up and are going around repeating it. You were dead silent when Jack Dorsey's Twitter was censoring conservatives. Where were you then? I have a feeling you probably weren't even anti Elon until he bought Twitter. We had a couple Elon haters here but the majority of left wingers didn't turn on Elon until the liberal MSM started negatively reporting on him.

Think for yourself man. You're either anti censorship or you're pro censorship. Being pro censorship when it politically benefits you is wrong and immoral.

I could say the same for you: if you’re against censorship, then condemn Elon’s censorship which I have repeatedly pointed out to you. But you don’t. He censors journalists and you say nothing. He bans and shadow bans people who criticize him and you say nothing. So again, let’s drop the charade that this is some big free speech defense, because that’s not what he is doing, and you don’t much seem to care.

At this point I’ve posted tons of sources to support my argument, including research done by Montclair State University, which is classified as an "R2: Doctoral Universities – High research activity.” I also posted a source from FIRE, which is literally a free speech advocacy group, which documents Musk’s abuses of free speech. But you lazily label these as “MSM Reports” so you don’t have to deal with their conclusions.

And no, I wasn’t particularly bothered by debunked and disproven right-wing CTs being disallowed due to them being debunked and disproven CTs in the Dorsey era. In general I am not opposed to private companies moderating content, just as we do here on Sherdog. If Musk wants to make Twitter/X some “free speech beacon,” then fine—but that’s not what’s happening.

I don't agree with Musk's version of censorship either. I just haven't seen it on such a wide scale that I did with Dorsey. Maybe it'll come out in due time.

Of course you're going to justify the original Twitter censorship as just merely debunking right wing CTs. Yeah nevermind the fact that people were getting banned and censored for speaking the truth about covid, gender and the Hunter Biden story. It was just wild CTs that were being censored and nothing else politically that would possibly hurt big pharma's bottom line and the 2020 election. No one believes you.

It's funny how you complain about Elon censoring, claim you weren't bothered by Dorsey censoring and then say that you are not opposed to private companies moderating content. It's as if your morals are just at the whim of whatever it is politically that you side with. Not surprising in the least.

This is what's so scary about Zuckerberg - He is so fucking easily influenced.

He's like one of those girls who adopts her boyfriend's entire persona every time she dates someone new.

Basically admitted that they bent over for the Biden Admin because they threatened Meta

And now that Trump is back, I guess Fact Checkers can go fuck themselves... lol


Were these people actually employed as "Fact Checkers"? lol... Sorry, Learn to Code I guess

The biggest story is the EU fucking melting down over this.




Integrity of information - France expresses its concern over META's decision to question the usefulness of fact-checking in limiting the circulation of false information.

They weren’t “down the truth about COVID,” they were spreading baseless, stupid, harmful, and constantly debunked CTs.

I figured you’d bring up Hunter’s laptop. You won’t be surprised to know I am more forgiving of this than you are. The backstory behind that was so bizarre and sounded so totally implausible that I completely understand not being comfortable with allowing it until something about the story was verified.

People’s propensity to spread CTs is fucking this country up, and I don’t mind private companies moderating that content until there’s some reasonable data behind it.

My problems with Elon are twofold: one is bis dishonesty in pretending he’s for free speech when he clearly is not, and then I’m taking specific issue with what he chooses to moderate. Journalists get their accounts suspended, neo-Nazis get their accounts un-suspended. I remember a time when people used to be in agreement that racism is bad, and while governments may have tolerate that speech, private companies don’t.
—If Elon chooses to allow that in the name of free speech, then he should knock off his other bs.

None of what you're saying is surprising in the least. This is what happens when you're so biased, you can't even think logically anymore. Things you don't agree with politically are CTs, things you do agree with politically are the truth. Bad things the other side does is because they're bad and bad things your side does is because there was a good reason for it.

Yawn. Like I said, your credibility as a rational thinker is done.

Already refuted in the other thread about this. But thanks for sharing another cut-and-paste job from twitter. You are really good at spamming other peoples opinions without offering any of your own.

But in short, no, the biden administration "yelling at you," while you ignore half their requests about covid disinformation does not equate censorship. We all get that Zuck wants to ride trumps dick and get on the grift train, but this isn't gonna result in anything other than a circle jerk from right-wingers with no understanding of how the 1st Amendment works.

But don't take my word for it. We can all just wait and watch this story go nowhere and you guys crying that no one will listen.

At some point we need to start blaming the dumbasses for believing in media, other people, etc.

You can't even see how brainwashed you really are but here you are listing off democratic media bulletpoints acting as if you came to those ridiculous opinions all by yourself.

Your party lies to you and you bought it. Just admit it and go forward. You're embarrassing yourself trying to defend them. "...but, but, rascism!!" Lmao you fucking Democrat.

 

[Darkballs]

Your party lies to you and you bought it.

Do you even know what this thread is about?

I hardly think the biden administration asking them not to share dick pics, constitutes lying. Now you can be pro dick pic sharing, lord knows plenty of you trumpers were. I think we even had a ban or two over the desperate sharing and "research."

But even so, that's not lying.
