Why did you post that comic? Is anybody confusing first amendment rights for what happened here? The point is that Zuckerberg has made a killing collecting data on people at a scale never seen before, and he dresses it up as "connecting people". But when someone collects HIS data, then needs to be removed the the extent he can.
Musk is an even more obvious case of hypocrisy. The "free speech absolutist" is very selective about when it applies.
- emmelaich 2y ago> dresses it up as 'connecting people' What? That's literally why people use Facebook.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoIn the same way Tinder "lets you find dates", I suppose so.
- tasty_freeze 2y agoThe question is about Zuckerberg's purpose. Does he need to collect all the data he does to connect people? No, he collects the data because he can monetize it. Connecting people is incidental. Does Facebook really need to know that you spent money buying adult diapers in order to help you see pictures of your niece across country or locate the old high school classmate that popped into your mind? That is why I said "dressing it up" - is is a pretext for his primary goal.
