Meta rolled back protections. Now hate is surging - What we're seeing: More hate, more fear, less freedom.

I'm not convinced that much of it is real. Many accounts have to be fake. Surely people can't be as stupid as they appear. I think it's AI's funded or designed to be so stupidly biased.
Unfortunately people are that dumb if not dumber, but also yes there are tons of chatbots that are sowing anger and division usually in favor of conservatives. Weird how Elon was talking about how many bots are on Twitter and has completely stopped talking about it.

This kind of thinking is how we end up with extremist politicians like trump. YES PEOPLE ARE THIS STUPID. LARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE ARE THIS STUPID. Stop trying to ignore reality.

On January 7, 2025, Meta announced sweeping changes to its content moderation policies, including the end of third-party fact-checking in the U.S., and rollbacks to its hate speech policy globally that remove protections for women, people of color, trans people, and more. In the absence of data from Meta, we decided to go straight to users to assess if and how harmful content is manifesting on Meta platforms in the wake of January rollbacks.
There’s no speech police in the real world, you don’t need it online either.

This headline is garbage. You could put just about any Fortune 500 company’s name in there and the headline would still be accurate.

the url too. meta was never safe, and was never intended to be safe. the only way to make it safe is to shut it down.

My #$%^ HOA only socializes through FB groups. Been trying to drum up interest in a defederated Frendica or something, but can't get any traction
I've unliked all the stuff and unfollowed everything else, but I can't GTFO of it any further without being unable to deal with my neighbors civilly
Abandon civility, throw tomahawk instead. Your reputation will precede you. Their fear of you will bring about civility. You got this.

Meta is the enemy of all of mankind
Social Media in general is our most self-destructive invention yet

I do wonder, are seeing more hate, more fear and less freedom because there is more hate, more fear and less freedom, or are we seeing these things because they are now no longer deleted, and there is the same amount of it?
Either way there is no fix for facebook and other facebook owned platforms. Get rid of this shit.

That is the most simplistic, uneducated opinion on the subject that is possible to make. You should be ashamed.

Your HOA?
Sounds like you add by subtraction twice by deleting Facebook.

A bit of both I think.
As a Facebook group administrator I get to see a fair bit of definite fake stuff. Any time someone posts anything with the word stolen for example, a number of fake accounts will attempt to post with names of people who 'can help get your things back'.
They recently got a bit more advanced and will sometimes use 'I'm new here" type posts or similar tricks to try to trick the admin into letting them into the group. It's a public group, hence a juicy target. There's several tricks an AI can use.
That said, we have a fair share of legit nutters, rednecks, NIMBYs, homophobes etc as well - I just suspect some of the EV and renewable energy hatred for example, on Facebook is manufactured.

Leave that website.
There is no fixing it.

If that’s the case, it should be easy enough for you to come up with an actual argument against it.
