I really hope this accelerates meta's decline. The world will adapt just fine without social media.

- jeffbee 5mo agoSomehow this company still earns over a billion dollars a week in net profits, which I find puzzling.
- herpdyderp 5mo agoRealistically, how will this affect Meta at all? Some people are pissed, nobody else cares, business as usual.
- jeffbee 5mo agoWell, these hacks targeted large influencer accounts. It could have more severe impact than 20k randomly selected accounts.
- topspin 5mo agoLarge influencer accounts without two factor authentication... The only useful reaction to this is to point and laugh.
- throw101010 5mo agoAlso large influencers who cannot influence much without Meta's platforms... they will simply not complain too much about it if they like their "job".
- jeffbee 5mo agoNo. Meta's account recovery flow disables 2FA. It's idiotic. 2FA for Meta accounts serves no beneficial purpose.
- chamomeal 5mo agoI think the hack bypassed 2FA. If you can call “asking for account access” a hack lmao
- dakolli 5mo agoWhat are their alternatives? I'm assuming that most of the 22k people with large audiences that need a large platform to reach them. Meta unfortunately, is the only platform that allows people to reach across many demographics. Its the people that follow the 22k accounts that are important, and they are unaffected by this and thus aren't leaving meta (and 99% won't even know this happened or care).
- asveikau 5mo agoDepends on the use case, but TikTok is an alternative for many of them, I would say it generally feels more like the place where interesting things are happening vs. meta properties.
- dakolli 5mo agoI agree, but many do not. Anyways, those 22k people are going to want to be on both regardless.
