Meta is a private company and can do whatever it wants. Nothing to see here. Yea..go ahead down vote me

I forgot no action can be criticized unless it's literally illegal. Silly me.

They probably can, but it's still immoral and unethical.

Yea right! Thats how for profit companies work.

And that’s why we regulate our capitalism.. Free market does not work, well it does, but only for the rich 🤑

I mean, yeah, and people can express dislike for their policy

This is true, and the reason people need to stop using social media as their source for news.

When a company has sophisticated algorithms ment to only show you things that will get you engaged - you are not getting unbiased news. Add Meta's personal agendas on top of that and you get the shitshow that is facebook as a news source.

Thank you and hope the idiots down voting me can use common sense.

I'm going to write something bad about you that can legally be disputed, refuted, or might not be verifiable right away. Please host me & that content at your expense. Thank you bye!

It can, but that doesnt mean ít's excused from criticism if it does something incredibly stupid and amoral.

Maybe people are finally starting to realize (although way too late) that handing over our "public" fora to private companies was a bad idea.
