Dude really needs to do something about his platform. It helped Trump into power in 2016. As per this election too, Qanon and other hate groups on Facebook used the platform to spread a lot of nonsense.

I dont think they are.everyone has its own rules and regulations..just like nairaland..on Facebook you cant share anything porn,your account can be suspended if reported for hate speech etc.while on twitter,you can share porn cos they share lots and lots of it there.they also have their own rules too.likewise nairaland..Nairaland has it's own rules..I think nairaland is even more harder than FB or twitter sef..nairaland can sama you 100years ban and there is nothing you can do about it

so there are rules and everyone should follow the rules.If you dont like them,you can create yours..trump rats have created parlar or abi parlour them call am?they can tell themselves lies and swim in it there,nobody go fight them
am not talking about the short term,because basically everyone is online,this gives these companies the god tier right to determine morality,what should be said or not ,making them control democracy,just because the company is yours doesn't mean you can set all the rules,if I get a company in America for instance I can't say no to hiring transgender despite my personal beliefs about them,why should vast public company be determining global discuss.

And to our surprise the Democrats are going to side with Republicans to break facebook.

That one is for data protection and anti-Trust reasons which are valid regulatory reasons to go after a company. The reason Trump set the Republican Senate after those companies is simply because they did not allow him to spread lies unchecked. He nearly torpedoed section 230 which is the bedrock of social media companies growth which protects them from prosecution should an individual on their platform misyarn. Going after Section 230 is akin to cutting your nose off to spite your face and will lead to sell pressure on Google, Facebook, Twitter and other big techs which will deal the stock markets and everyone's 401ks a bloody nose, just because the Orange buffoon doesn't like being fact-checked.

John Kelly says on CNN that the Cabinet should meet and have a discussion about what to do about President Trump. He says if he was still there, he would vote to remove Trump. "Yes, I would."

You are right Trumpvirus does not seem as deadly in Lagos or tropical Africa as it is in Europe and the Americas. This is evidenced in our very low infection rate and lower death rate due to covid infection in spite of our very careless almost nonchalant attitude. I knew we were relatively immune from the virus when I went to computer village at the height of the lockdown when there was a one day on, one day off shop and market days. On every market day, the crowd was do much that we were all practically breathing down each others nose. And this was duplicated throughout all the major markets like ASPANDA, ladipo, Alaba. If we did not breakdown then, I knew we would never breakdown ever from coronavirus. Our hospitals are not overwhelmed with sickness and death, so I guess that there must be other factors that's not allowing the virus overwhelm us. It seems to have more effects on rich and old folks who travel overseas constantly.

I saw a video of Elegushi beach during the holiday season and all I can say is Nigerians are a very very reckless bunch. Between the Trump super spreader rallies and this I don't know which was worse

I want to say a big Fuq you to all the basuras on this thread that spent several hours and days defending this truly sorry excuse of a President and a man who was willing to destroy institutions and see his country burned to the ground simply because he couldn't take an election loss

It is not enough that this man was voted out. America needs to make sure someone like this never sees power again same way a Hitler wannabe will never rule Germany again

When you're dealing with a despot like Trump who obviously is running a cult of personality you have to take extraordinary measures. This is how Hitler started.

You are wasting your time.

Mark controls Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp
Dorsey controls Twitter
Pichai (Google) controls YouTube
Bezos (Amazon) controls Twitch and Washington Post

These four people control Internet discourse for the entire Western hemisphere. And they move in lockstep. Every other person outside their sphere of influence is controlled by the Chinese Communist Party through Chinese-owned networks like TikTok and Weibo.

So how do you expect these sheep not to be herded in one direction and argue that they deserve to be locked in very formidable cages?

Now that they've shown they can do whatever they like to a sitting US President, do you really think there's any limit to their reach?

For instance, Andrew Yang's tweet calling Ossoff's victory was flagged because he called it "prematurely". It wasn't "reported" on mass media for obvious reasons. The turds will argue, they applied the rules evenly. But every one with functional brain knows they're saying, don't think we wouldn't do to you what we did to Trump when you're no longer useful to (or challenge) our interests.

Facebook might be broken up, but the other part will just be bought by another oligarch like Microsoft that was trying to buy TikTok.

Things have gone too far off the rails, which is why I'm all up for dismantling the system for something better. It is inevitable.

Arrogant sociopaths have tried to consolidate power numerous times in history and every time have faced a spectacular collapse. In the past, I pitied the low-information ret*rds, like the ones here, cheering for the consolidation and eventual demise. Now I'm indifferent. They're important as cannon fodder.

So again, don't waste your time. Dorsey and Mark should have unilateral control over the rules for the entire Western hemisphere. That's just what is needed to feed the escalation. Call me cynical, but some things should be allowed to develop to their natural conclusion.

-Lord
