This is quite concerning
I kind of can’t stand Biden, in spite of the many surprisingly good things he’s done in the last few years.
But god damn if this isn’t the kind of action from Meta that can only help Trump.
I am sorry to feel that this decision from Meta has much more to do with certain ongoing wars and preferred candidates than any “EU legislation.”
Meta wants Trump. Meta wants fascism.

…that’s about when I stopped reading.
He isn’t great, but he has done some pretty good thing. (Lots of not good things too, obviously.) He’s taken steps with student loan forgiveness, he’s empowered the FTC and DOJ to enforce anti-trust regulations that haven’t been used in far too long, and he’s done a good number of other things too, but nothing else large is coming to mind at the moment.
They suck at communicating, but they have actually done some good. Biden is far from my choice of president, but it does seem like the progressive faction has at least moved him in the right direction. It’s far from ideal, but he isn’t that bad.
Lol you think progressives moved him
He is STILL desperately trying to win conservatives. DNC fucking DESPISES us.
What is CrowdTangle
CrowdTangle is Meta’s tool for election integrity, they’re shutting it down without a replacement.
Don’t encourage the behaviour. As the saying goes… Give a man a fish and you’ve fed him for a day… Teach a man to fish and you’ve fed him for life.
nobody reads the headline because the headline is often just wrong, or flat out lying to you.
Nobody reads the contents of the article because 90% of the time it’s just blabbering on about how social media was in 2009, or how their grand mother used to make cookies, or how printing is so annoying because the ink ALWAYS seems to be running out.
Rather than actually fucking talking about the topic on hand. Not to mention all the ads and placements that are put over this shit, the ad block blocker pop ups, the paid services like the NYT forcing you into not reading it at all “because you’ve used your reading quota for the month” The sheer amount of fucking time it takes to load what is basically just HTML text on a background, but it isn’t because it uses JS because fuck you i guess.
The internet is incredibly hostile these days. It’s impossible to do something on it without a door to door salesman pestering you every fucking step of the way.
Sounds like Zuck is hoping for a one-party Fascist autocracy in the US.
It would benefit a social cause that is near and dear to his heart: making Mark Zuckerberg extremely wealthy
Weird this is again making the rounds after the news is 2 years old.

Looks like they delayed the shutdown, but then announced last month that they’re going to do it finally.
From the article that you linked…
Today’s report says Meta began an official process to shut down the tool in February but paused it due to the EU’s Digital Services Act push.
