The Psychic Observer 498 Posted January 7 Today Zuckerberg announced that Meta will stop fact checking content and rely on its community to fact check itself. States that it has not allowed enough hatred regarding immigrants to flourish on its platform. This all under the guise of free speech. This follows what Musk has done on X. So follow along, Musk has turned X into a Maga echo chamber. Zuckerberg doing the same with Facebook and Instagram. Both have given hundreds of millions of dollars to Trump. Next up is Trump friend Kevin O'Leary saying he will buy TikTok to keep it from getting banned and undoubtedly turn TikTok into another Maga echo chamber. They already control the media between Fox News and Sinclair. They will soon control the large majority of social media. Fox News hosts joining the Trump admin, money flowing back and forth. Are you paying attention? This is what an oligarchy looks like. We used to use the term MSM to refer to ABC, CBS. NBC, CNN, etc. MSM is now Foxnews, X and Meta. It is where most people get their news. And it's all the same story according to one man, Trump, who controls everything. Do you get it? 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin would need a lot of help to buy TicTok, his estimated net worth is 400M and TicTok has a valuation of 50B, and I don't think they are for sale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EternalShinyAndChrome 3,875 Posted January 7 Love how the left complains that their previous echo chambers are being converted to free speech chambers instead and it's driving them nuts! I mean, c'mon. Liberals aren't for free speech. They're for only speech they agree with. They can't even admit they're living in echo chambers themselves. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ByteDance is 300B. The whole idea of buying TikTok (50B) is to separate it from ByteDance. And of course it would be a collection of investors, not just Kevin himself, he's no Musk. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So 2 thoughts on this and I will be brief. 1) bof sidez can fact check. not sure why you are so worried about it becoming MAGA. That's a very very weird take 2) The MSM had the ball and blew the play. yeah, its changing. That's as much their fault as anyone's. The fact that you are actually crying cause the population is shifting away from the extremely biased MSM to something different is laughable 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting take given that the "Dems" side of covid was safety where as the Maga side talked about injecting bleach, eating horse dewormer and taking all kinds of other dangerous drugs along with downplaying the whole thing leading to a million people dead.

Fnord 2,062 Posted January 7 I think the OP has some good points, though it comes across as being a bit hysterical. What Zuckerberg and Bezos are doing right now screams oligarchical favor currying. It's blatant and gross and if they had done the same thing to Biden the righties here would have decried it endlessly. They would have been correct to do so.

The fact that you are freaking out about "free speech" right now is just ridiculous.

Community notes are a much better way to drive correct information than the previous model, which was the Feds browbeating sites like Twitter to moderate as they want them to. I'm surprised I need to say this to you. Also, Gutter's OP asserted that Musk turned X into a MAGA echo chamber. Rather, by opening discourse and providing community notes, Lefties like Gutter were butt hurt that they lost their Leftie echo chamber, and many took their ball and went home. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not on Twitter, Facebook, Bluesky, or any other social media outlet, so the whole fact checking furor affected me zero. This place is my only social media, other than clicking on links. The issue I have is that Bezos and Zuckerberg specifically know that they are in the MAGA doghouse, and are keen to curry favor. In Bezos' case, it's even more egregious since he has billions at stake with government contracts. But whatever. This is what y'all voted for, let's see what happens. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Open your eyes. It was never about silencing anyone it was always about the truth. But yes now that the richest billionaires in America that control information are giving money to our president and doing his bidding yes that is an oligarchy. We have more power resting in the hands of the richest elites now more than ever. Americans used to think this is a problem. We're controlled by the elitist billionaires. They control what we think and what we do and they're open about it. Wake up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Psychic Observer 498 Posted January 8 The elite ruling class has successfully manipulated the lower and middle class. They have us fighting with each other over vaccines, immigrants and sexuality. Meanwhile they make more and more money, pay close to nothing in taxes and bleed us all dry. They want us fighting about nonsense so they can rig the system in their favor. Some of you even cheer for them because they tell you that someday you too can be part of their club and you believe it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
