Meta is a terrorist enabling corporation. One only look to the atrocities they enabled in Myanmar.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
They also seldom moderate hatespeech in Hungary, especially when it comes to government ads...
Anything for more engagement amirite
There seems to be a lot of companies going the CBS route when it comes to stuff like this, except they're just not willing to admit it publicly. The underlying point is still the same though: "Yeah, we tried doing the whole 'responsible civic duty' thing, then we realized that allowing morons to spread bullshit makes us a fuckton more cash, so we're going with that."
"Yeah, we destroyed everything, but for one, shining moment, we created a lot of value for our shareholders!"
This isn't a surprise, Meta's VP of public policy is literally one of Roger Stone's Brooks brothers rioters.
Thanks for pointing that link out. Disgusting to say the least...
Quitting Facebook was one of the best decisions I ever made for my mental health.
I actually got my mom to delete her Facebook account and stay out of it for good. I can already see a change in her attitude in life.
I got back to Facebook to try Marketplace, found out how bad the layout is and how I felt I was gonna get scammed any day, then logged out to resume the slumber in wich my account has been since 2016
If you have a Facebook account that you check regularly, you are supporting this shit. Delete it and walk away. It's evil.
They also allow bigotry as long as you're "nice" about it. I got in trouble multiple times for being mean to people who were being homophobic on Facebook. Then they permabanned me for trolling trump supporters.
Something something "...more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice"
This is why it's up to Congress to regulate this stuff. You cannot expect companies to self-police, because it is not in their self interest to do so.
In case anyone believed Zuckerberg for a second when he pretended to have learned his lesson and would improve anything as a result of the many atrocities his company has profited from aggravating.
He's like the dictator of a rogue nation except much worse since Meta has more power and fewer restrictions than any country.
If anyone is still on Facebook, you're part of the reason why he's doing this. They make their money from advertisers and your data. If people leave, it will be as profitable as Xitter.
We continue to allow shitbirds to shit on us. These guys rule the world and instead of turning them into candles we continue to let them darken our world.
now
lol
Next presidential candidate that announced massive trust busting action will win
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The policy means that Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, will be able to directly profit from political ads that boost false claims about the legitimacy of the 2020 election.
Meta’s broader electoral misinformation policy continues to prohibit content that could interfere with people’s ability to participate in voting or the census, such as false claims about the timing of an election, according to the company.
YouTube said in June that it would no longer remove content featuring false claims that the 2020 US presidential election was stolen, reversing a policy instituted more than two years ago.
YouTube’s ad policy continues to prohibit claims that are “demonstrably false and could significantly undermine participation or trust in an electoral or democratic process.”
Separately, Meta said earlier this month that it would require political advertisers around the world to disclose any use of artificial intelligence in their ads, starting next year, as part of a broader move to limit “deepfakes” and other digitally altered misleading content.
It also said it would prohibit political advertisers from using the company’s new, artificial intelligence tools that help brands generate text, backgrounds and other marketing content.
