Zuckerberg says his foundation wont meddle in next election
« on: April 12, 2022, 01:35:25 PM »
Guess after the backlash of his foundation spending $400 million in 2020 election, he wants to lay a little low.  The foundation claimed the 2020 spending was a "one-off".

What do you get when darpa-funded behavioral modification software giants are given a monopoly on public discourse and permission to control speech any way they see fit?

You get the kind of government that you deserve. 


Pretending to be offended does not make you a good person.

I always assumed it was Egyptian.

That's some irony right there.

Actually, it's more like:

The owner of Facebook
who lied multiple times to Congress about censuring almost exclusively Conservatives,
who's system blocked users who refused to only speak the Democrat-approved truth,
and who promised us that Facebook is nonpartisan
is now wanting us to believe NEXT election they will be fair and unbiased.

Right!   :crazy:

"You lied to us!"

"I promise I won't lie again."

"Oh, that's better.  Carry on, Mr Billionaire."

he said, the company takes care not to allow political bias to seep into decisions.

Um, it's not the employees that are the problem as much as it is the leadership.  The employees follow the examples they are given, and continue acting unethically when they are allowed to continue.

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world;
the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
