      Mark Zuckerberg is willing to sell America down the road of fascism, hate, and violence in order to keep his company unregulated and unimpeded on the road to building the Total Community of Everyone.https://twitter.com/samfbiddle/status/1058423208800591872 …

      Just three days after the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre, Facebook was allowing advertisers to target users interested in white genocide — the same myth the alleged shooter believed in https://theintercept.com/2018/11/02/facebook-ads-white-supremacy-pittsburgh-shooting/ … pic.twitter.com/biEQtJ1Na9

      Let’s be clear. It is possible to hire 1,000 or 10,000 or 100,000 human beings to approve every ad. You don’t have to use robots to decide what speech buffets our democracy. But that would slow Facebook down. It would curb user growth and sales. And that’s what Facebook refuses.

      This is why the nature of our society cannot be decided by billionaires. What is good for them and what is good for most of us are different.

          you might as well say that - this is why the nature of our society cannot be decided by humans, especially human beings with ambition.

          What do you think about possibility / desirability to keep targeting like that in order to promote reprogramming / anti-conspiracy-theory content at people like that? My thinking is that it’s not the category that needs extra moderation, it’s the content.

          I’m sorry but I find this kinda obvious to everyone, the rich has always controlled the poor throughout history

          The poor exist to be used as pawns against the middle class. Anand is just yet another bioleninist out to get him some status.

          Absolutely. Just like what’s good for shareholders is often not optimal for customers.
