I like that the article consistently refers to Meta as what it is, an adtech giant that also runs social media platforms rather than the other way around.
Fun fact: when my country transitioned to a new public authentication app, the default way was to use your passport to register. My passport was expired, though, so I had to show up in person with my birth certificate and social security card equivalent.
To get my birth certificate, I had to show up at the local office with, you guessed it, my passport.
Lucky for me that they accepted it in spite of being expired (none of the pertinent information such as my face, name and birth date had expired, after all), or I would probably be trapped in the loop to this day, years later.
Whoever is still claiming that Bernie doesn't speak truth to power anymore hasn't been paying attention for the last month or two. Better late than never to return to being the chief advocate for what the people wants but most of Washington doesn't! ✊️
Not every day you see someone flexing about being an irrational coward 😂
Add Johnson to this
I, too, like to immediately violate the likely terms of plea deals keeping me out of prison in exchange for cult clout!
Not true. They post hate speech from right wing politicians verbatim all the time.
As for the tweets being somewhere else, it seems that it's this:
Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal
To the inattentive and/or wilfully misinterpreting, that might come off as an endorsement of Hamas as "freedom fighters", but note that she doesn't mention Hamas by name and that Hamas aren't usually the ones filming any of their atrocities.
Add her clarification from a few days later and it's clear she's talking about regular people filming the atrocities of the Israeli oppressors and isn't referring to terrorism at all, unless you define it broadly enough to include the Israeli state terrorism:
I just want to make it clear that this statement in no way shape or form is [inciting] spread of violence," she said. "I specifically said freedom fighters because that's what the Palestinian citizens are... fighting for freedom every day
As I suspected, she didn't do what they said she did. She just had the temerity to speak up against the apartheid regime.
This smells really fishy. They quote her directly when it comes to her taking the side of Palestinians in general (aka, the oppressed population) but when it comes to her supposed support of Hamas in particular, all there is in the article is a paraphrase of THEIR version, not a direct quote.
Sounds like a political hit job.
The initial source (or at least the one linked to in the reddit post) is the vastly inferior microblogging version of xvideos though, so skipping reddit would have been even worse 🤷
No. Absolutely not. Watermarked memes are the scourge of online culture, no matter what you watermark it with.
Lemmynsfw: spread the load, you say?
Poor guy! Suffering the consequences of his own actions like some non-rich person!
