More like everyone under the age of 50 is abandoning Facebook and boomers are all they have left.
“We’re getting rid of a number of restrictions on topics like immigration, gender identity and gender that are the subject of frequent political discourse and debate. It’s not right that things can be said on TV or the floor of Congress, but not on our platforms. These policy changes may take a few weeks to be fully implemented.”
Some of the things said by Congress members are wildly bigoted, Mark must really want to suck up to Trump.
- planb 2y agoThis applies to Threads and Instagram, too, I guess?
- tedivm 2y agoThreads is pretty much a flop compared to bluesky. A lot of people really don't trust facebook/meta.

- eesmith 2y agoThat's silly. The Constitution says "Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member." For example, House Rule XVII ("DECORUM AND DEBATE") says "Remarks in debate (which may include references to the Senate or its Members) shall be confined to the question under debate, avoiding personality." If Congress is the reference, then Facebook gets to define what "disorderly Behaviour" is, just like the House and Senate get to define for themselves what "disorderly Behavior" means. If the House is the ideal for how to have debate, then Facebook debate must also avoid personality.
- linotype 2y agoFacebook can do whatever they want, I’m just not going to be on a platform where I see a bunch of misinformation or blatant racist content like X.
- eesmith 2y agoI agree they can do whatever they want (so long as it's legal). What's silly is comparing themselves to Congressional floor debates as if that's at all relevant.
