MODERATORS
You think Meta is generating most of it themselves to intentionally stoke Islamophobia? They're evil enough to do that and they have a past history of this sorta thing.
Those are all examples of Facebook failing to moderate, not creating content.
yes, or at least allowing propaganda bots to do it. meta, zuck has a vested interest in keeping right wing content flowing.
I find it extremely funny how these idiots love to invoke the crusades every chance they get. Reading about Crusader history you'd find that, other than the first Crusade, they were largely a failure and failed to achieve their goals (especially after Saladin captured Jerusalem).
Not to mention the fourth crusade, were Crusaders sacked not 1 but 2 Christian cities.
Reading? They don’t do that. But crusade art slaps
Or in December 1098 when crusaders cannibalized the city of Ma‘arra. So heroic…
This was my thought as well.
People who think this way have clearly never cracked open a history book.
Because they think Reading is communism or something.
cough Myanmar ahem
This. Facebook is already involved in a genocide. Zuckerberg does know what happened there. He is allowing the same hatred on his platform again. That is intentional.
zuck's facebook already purposely push russian propaganda on the site.
I live a few miles from Dearborn, and my nearby MAGA relatives are putting in overtime sharing all this slop because they have been whipped up into a frenzy about da scary Mooslems for decades.
If racist hate and discrimination can't be moderated and taken care of, it must be shut down in its entirety.
It's no different than Nazism and people handing out paper flyers, also illegal. It must be treated as such to uphold any semblance of decent moral fabric throughout an interconnected world.
It can be moderated, it's just not profitable for them
Do people even still use Facebook or has it completely been taken over by bots at this point?
Bots, AI, misinformation/disinformation, hatred, predators and depressed people.
My mental health has thrived having deleted my meta account last year.
You got this, proud of you for taking that step
Hopefully Zuck gets hit where it hurts
right wing magats, mostly boomers/gen xers use it. thats why zuck see it as important to continue to grift from them. also its mostly ai slop anyways.
I left that garbage eons ago. I'm unfortunately Gen-X. There are a lot of us on there. I usually tell people I'm a Xennial now because to be honest, I don't friggin remember anything past 1980. I remember the scary ass fucking puppet lady from Mr Rogers if that means anything lol
to bad as I worry people won't realize how good things can be without a perspective from the 70's. it was not all hams and plaques but its direction was improvement. I often think about how when you were hard pressed to see anything plastic outside of toys that life was pretty nice and convenient enough. As much as I like the internet and computers im starting to feel like there is not a whole lot of quality of life improvements with technology in a general way.
Sometimes I go to fb to see a restaurants page or something, and when I press back it takes me to the front page. Out of morbid curiosity I sometimes scroll a bit, and lately there are so many posts from ~ 30-50yr old people pointing out how many mosques there are (here in Finland), how many people are wearing hijabs, etc. Like its straight up literal xenophobia, fear of foreign people.
both, gen-xers right wingers use it alot, and it pushes alot of right wing content on it. and facebook has been mostly bots, even more so now with AI. reddit is really trying to emulate it.
Groups, primarily. Marketplace somewhat. The rest is absolute trash.
was gonna say most groups in yahoo went to facebook.
Who hates muslim and is good at these kinds of electronic warfare games? Could be Israel.
Or India, as half the time the BJP fanatics were found stuffing Facebook with such garbage.
Imagine saying you support the US Constitution and then agree with shitbird of a "human". Fuck him!
Okay I'm ready to take in the crusaders. Now where are we fighting again? I don't see a quest marker.
Ironic that a non American metric shit ton of those AI posts are made by foreigners living in Muslim countries (or not). They do that because hate brings views and views bring money.
So the old Bob and Sarah are sharing AI slop made by an Indi or Muslim dude on another continent that they’re unable to place on a map.
you mean the last 22 years haven't been?
I didnt notice
To be fair to Meta it is full with all kind of racist and religious-phobic posts.
And they wouldn't have it any other way!
As a former Christian, those people aren't Christians.
As a former Scotsman, those people aren't Scotsmen
You just made an enemy for life!
It's not true!
Unfortunately, they are. Christianity is a 'Choose Your Own Adventure' religion, which is why there are so many different sects and belief systems.
"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full."
Matthew 6:5
My point is real Christians shut the fuck up about their faith as they have nothing to prove.
