Trump is working the refs—specifically the one who has absolute control over the most important platform: Mark Zuckerberg. This happened in the run-up to the 2016 election, too. Meanwhile, everyone is analyzing legal details of an order whose purpose isn't to be legally-enacted.

Because I don’t think a boycott is the answer or, more importantly, plausible. Facebook is important exactly because it’s also useful and even essential—and depending on where you live, often without an alternative. I will write longer about this soonish.https://twitter.com/eric_weinberger/status/1266755988893380615 …

Trump and Zuckerberg just had a phone call "described by both sides as productive." Meanwhile, Trump's "shooting/looting" posts remain up on Facebook. Zuckerberg also made sure to go on Fox News to say he disagreed with Twitter putting a warning on them.https://www.axios.com/trump-facebook-zuckerberg-phone-call-d8d1016e-4e17-4906-b4f4-dc3e5c00bca7.html …

The “looting and shooting” post is still being amplified by Instagram and Facebook, following the mutually “productive” phone conversation between the president and Facebook’s CEO. Also, much less incendiary posts *do* get taken down all the time on both.https://twitter.com/teddyschleifer/status/1267325559584899072 …

"As for Snapchat, we simply cannot promote accounts in America that are linked to people who incite racial violence, whether they do so on or off our platform." At Snapchat, Trump's posts will no longer be amplified.https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1268220153302573056 …

Facebook is not hostile to conservatives or extreme right-wingers, case zillion. Owens is known for saying "If Hitler just wanted to make Germany great and have things run well, okay, fine. The problem is that he wanted—he had dreams outside of Germany." https://twitter.com/kevinroose/status/1268563336079085569 …

Just as you were effective getting people to wear masks, you could be effective persuading them to delete their Facebook account.

But they don't have laptops, Zeynep! They picked a group of people without laptops. Surely we can all understand that would take until next year to set up.https://twitter.com/robinberjon/status/1266541683438690305?s=19 …
