Sounds like an issue with their work force. Without placing my tin foil hat on they need to hire more people to moderate and clean TOS breaking content.

puts tinfoil hat on

Meta is purposefully allowing far right militias to organize because a libertarian/conservative hellscape would mean their corporation becomes one of the largest fiefdoms.

IME those groups aren’t very libertarian, they’re closer to American Taliban religious fundamentalism.

Thiel definitely was at one point, but American libertarians have nothing to do with liberty and probably never have.

Thiel has always been pretty fascist even if he called himself a libertarian. I mean, he wrote that women’s suffrage made capitalism and democracy incompatible in 2009 (guess which he cares about more). He was a speech writer for William Bennett, a neoconservative in the Reagan administration. He founded Palantir. He spoke at Trump’s RNC convention.

Maybe he was a libertarian in his youth when he first read Ayn Rand or something but his actions as an adult are far closer to traditional fascism than traditional libertarianism. (Not implying he wants genocide or anything that “fascist” sometimes implies. I’m using it to mean the core of the ideology that’s reactionary, authoritarian, and willing to use the power of big government and corporations to limit freedom. Please don’t sue me Peter Thiel!)

As someone that used to work for Meta as a contractor for another company that did content moderation for them: I agree completely with your first statement. They fired all of their US based contractors on content moderation and shipped it back to India where they are overworked and don’t have the cultural insight to know to take this kind of shit down when reported. They also rely heavily on AI for content moderating that was trained by contractors like myself.

…but dangerous nonetheless.
At least they would be easy to eliminate, once they come out.

They’re not easy to eliminate, they’re armed, & the military & police are mostly on their side, which is why they’re allowed on Fb in the first place, & they’re hell bent on eliminating me and all my friends & loved ones

Most of these idiots are the same type who buy a .22 made to look like an AR and mag dump from 20 feet away at the range.

Are .22 rounds still hard to find? Been awhile since I’ve bought any. I don’t practice much and I think before my dad died he was falling down the prepper hole.

Tell me again how TikTok is dangerous, but Facebook is just grandmas sharing recipes.
