This is 100% true, but also this is less of a Facebook bad issue and more of a state law issue.

Facebook was subpoenaed to provide this info, they didn't willingly hand it over. I'd be interested to see how many lemmings here jumping down the meta bad rabbithole would have the stones to ignore a subpoena lmao.

This makes zero sense. There is no financial incentive for an EEE attack, and these companies don't do anything without financial incentive.

Your content isn't original or interesting enough for meta to want it, and even if they did, they already have access to it without federation.

Threads on its own already dwarfs the entirety of the global fediverse by orders of magnitude. Anyone screaming EEE is just fucking stupid.

What an excellent article. Informative and to the point.

Recommend everyone read it.

You overestimate the ethics of random human beings.

Atleast zuck is beholden to pretend to be ethical.

The problem is that while it is obvious to you that sexual orientation is a matter of birth and not choice, it isn't to, to be honest, the vast majority of people on this planet.

And also, just to put things in perspective, even the science isn't fully convinced. Most evidence tells us it's something from birth, and my personal life anecdote tells me I'm bisexual since the day I was born, but truthfully we don't have any hard evidence to prove it, since it is nearly impossible to prove.

This is why it has to be included with the rest.

The problem is you're wrong though, because legally you have to look at the lowest common denominator.

Imagine you are a baker and someone wants you to bake a nazi cake? Would you want to? Hell no, but saying that a producer is required by law to perform any creative production asked of by the client means that you as a Jewish gay person (hypothetically) would be forced to bake that nazi cake.

Similarly, it doesn't really matter what's "right" it doesn't change that for some people, lgbt issues are considered religious sin, and they feel like they would be committing a religious sin in baking a pride cake. Now are they loony? Yeah they are. But it doesn't change that you cannot force someone to artistically create something against their will. ESPECIALLY when you can just go to another baker who will.
