The platforms “are all facing this problem where the right wing has been on them repeatedly about content moderation and how they [shouldn’t] control any content,” said a lobbyist for Meta, who was granted anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak for the company. “And now the tables are turned in some fashion, and people are all over them, saying you can’t allow this kind of content and that kind of content.”

Hopefully the idiots who run these tech companies will learn their lesson soon.

"If the thing is free, you're the product" applies just as much to dinners at the White House as it does to social media apps.

You might have misunderstood what the idiots who run these tech companies want.

Their goal is to make money, preferrably now more than tomorrow. So if licking some boots now will make them money, they will gladly do so.

Do you really think Zuckerberg has an actual stance on content moderation? He doesn't like it because it costs money, but if it costs him more money to not do it, he will gladly do it.

There is no lession to be learned by those parasites.
