“In a hyper-partisan environment, even unintentional errors like this can escalate into accusations of partisanship,” he said.

“If these issues are not resolved quickly they risk fuelling conspiracy theories and damaging Meta’s reputation.”

While users who type “#Democrat” or “#Democrats” see no results, the hashtag “Republican” returns 3.3 million posts on the social media platform.

Yeah, no. There are no ‘accusations of partisanship’, there’s straight up blatant partisanship and overt attempts at shaping the narrative and suppressing speech that Der Furher won’t like. There’s no speed short of not implementing it in the first place that would prevent conspiracies from propagating, especially with how hard Fuckerberg is dickriding trump.

I deleted my Facebook account over a decade ago for good reason, and I’m hopeful that people will (but realistic that they won’t) get off of there. That shit hole needs to burn.

In this case, they are. The AIPAC Defense League is dickriding Leon Skum because he’s in tight with the new furher, and both of them are cool with israel leveling Palestine.

These are one side of the same coin.

Pretty sure their ‘fair treatment’ involves giving them a free (metaphorical) pine box.

they said “This is definitely an error and we will fix it fast”

I’m pretty sure that’s literally what they always say.

Like, has a mainstream brainwashing platform ever admitted to making the change and owning up to it? As far as I can remember, these features keep accidentally getting thought up, coded and released into the production product.

I’m at the point where there is no benefit of the doubt, especially with malicious actors like Twitter and Facebook. If there isn’t proof they didn’t intend to release it (and you can’t exactly prove a negative), it was on purpose.

I bet that was entirely unrelated to the constant drumbeat of “leftists” saying that voting third party to show the Democrats their mistake of not being everything they wanted them to be. Absolutely no relation to the people who literally told me they wanted trump to win because it would hurt the Democrats.

And that’s just what I saw on Lemmy. Mainstream brainwashing social media platforms are magnitudes worse. Add in the billionaire media owners giving him millions of dollars in free advertising, and I’m not surprised at this outcome.
