News Goof joins the board of directors at Meta

Their idea of free speech is "it's only free speech if I agree with it."
Look at X/Twitter.
Making fun of and talking bad about black people? Totally fine.
Making fun of Elon's immigrant engineer friends? Not ok. Will get you unmonetized and banned.

It's certainly freer than before with formerly banned accounts like Trump being reinstated. I know it's not perfect but it's an improvement and I think this will be too.

Yeah if there is one thing the UFC is known for is excellent transparency and a fair media environment.

LOL

I know UFC lies. But overall the shit Dana says and the fact he doesn't have a problem with what his fighters say. Fighters who talk all kinds of shit like Sean Strickland, then the media asks questions like is he gonna face any repercussions for the things he said. And Dana always says no these guys are fighters and this is the fight business, it can get nasty.

So say what you want about Dana and his lies but at least he let's his guys speak out, say what they want and doesn't give into this wokeness. This to me suggests him being on the board is gonna be good for free speech. Even if only slightly better.

In a way, perhaps, but now there's an edgelord central/authority figure that bans any user or group who criticizes him or disagrees with his politics.

Unless you're Matt Mitrione criticizing Fallon Fox, Nate Diaz criticizing Bryan Caraway getting a bonus, Miguel Torres making a joke, or Stitch Duran criticizing Reebok

I don't think it is. It's just more friendly to a certain demographic of people.
Colonizer can't be used on Twitter but the n word is totally fine? Miss me with that.

Before Elon bought it there was an objective list of things you couldn't do on Twitter that applied to everyone.

Now Twitter is about bending to the will of Elon. If Elon disagrees with you then it's not cool on Twitter. If Elon agrees with you then no matter how outrageous or horrible it is it's fine.

And people misunderstand "freedom of speech." You have freedom of speech which means the GOVERNMENT can't punish you for something you say. That doesn't mean your family, friend group, job, place of worship, community, etc can't levy backlash and consequences for what you said.

What most people mean when they say "freedom of speech" is they have a right to be heard. (Both sides argument) NO THE FUCK YOU DON'T. You do not have a right to be heard or paid attention too. That's what pisses people off. When they say someone and people don't pay attention. They think it's their right to be platformed and given an audience to listen to them. Once again, NO THE FUCK YOU DON'T.

When Elon went pure dictator in Twitter the left leaning didn't complain about freedom of speech or being suppressed. They either adjusted or just left Twitter.

When right wing people got banned on old Twitter they started complaining about freedom of speech and being suppressed. They got mad they got kicked out of the party.

I need confidence that Dana has the capacity to edit a PDF, before I'd trust him to be on a tech company board.

You are right there, good examples. But to me it seems Dana is caring less and less about this thing and becoming more lenient. Before he was trying to make it to the big leagues like ESPN, so he had more fear about being politically correct. Now that he's on the major platforms he has let fighters say a lot of shit and get away with it. Of course not perfect but way better than most companies who couldn't even say a third of the shit that comes out of Dana's mouth sometimes.

He even slapped his wife and got away with it. Most other people would be cancelled or fired for that. He knows the UFC need him so they let him get away with a lot more shit and thus he doesn't discipline the fighters in a way these "woke" companies certainly would have.

Yes I hope Elon don't go full dictator mode. You may think he already has but I think there are more levels to this. Let's see how this year goes well will know by then. But the past year showed he gave more people a platform than ever before. Which is why it was initially good for free speech. Will it stay that way? Because I have seen him do some of the things you mentioned. Let's just hope he don't become full on dictator. He will lose money if he does anyway.

What a dumb comment. Electing Dana White to the board is the most extreme opposite of DEI imaginable.

Dana has tons of relevant knowledge in the subject matter applicable to being a board member which is an understanding of good business policies and execution. Board members work for the shareholders to ensure the executives actually running the company are making decisions in the best interest of the shareholders.

It is a very long overdue, but welcomed statement from Zuckerberg finally growing a pair and showing the world what he stands for.

Exactly bro made a $1mil investment and #Cardone10x dat ting thrice by leveragin' social media now #PowerSlap di biggest sport on Earth real talks who else dem tink finna do dat Whoopi or Greta LMFAOLLL bro knows what him doin' bigly qualified an' PROVEN dats but of course nobody finna listen cuz mi speak Canadan so much fi DEI can u believe it

Wow, look at all the dipshit libtards triggered by this.

Dana helping take facebook away from leftist censorship, propaganda, and misinformation is a good thing. Restoring balance is very much needed.

Not a huge fan of Dana, but anything that lands a huge blow to intolerant liberalism is fine by me.

Wokeness is on it's way out, and I say good fucking riddance. Trump living rent free in their heads 24/7, stay mad bros. It's hilarious to witness this epic meltdown.

Going from one bias to another isn't exactly balance, is it?

This post is hilarious! And complete nonsense!

Such a cookie-cutter politically illiterate NPC response. They have trained you well.

Highly debatable

with formerly banned accounts like Trump being reinstated.

He was banned for repeatedly lying and otherwise violating the terms of use. His reinstatement is not a good thing. Instead it's a carte blanche for everyone to lie as much as they want with zero consequences.

I know it's not perfect

Well that's a hilarious understatement

but it's an improvement

No, it really isn't

and I think this will be too.

It remains to be seen if Dana White will have any impact at all. Facebook is already a terrible AI propaganda shitshow hellscape and getting rid of fact-checkers will not make it unterrible. Just a different kind of terrible.

The Zuckerberg Dana friendship is weird as fuck.

Imagine those two having a drink, with Zuckerberg awkwardly eating flies from the wall with his giant elastic tongue. I wouldn't want to hear the discussions.

 

[cburm]

Well if that's any indication the wealthy stick with the wealthy the real geniuses are controlled used and manipulated enslaved.

 

[David Street]

Dana not get into dirty politics but will use his maga leverage to get a cushy extra job and rake in more money. Free money why not.
