Meta rolled back protections. Now hate is surging - What we're seeing: More hate, more fear, less freedom. (makemetasafe.org)

On January 7, 2025, Meta announced sweeping changes to its content moderation policies, including the end of third-party fact-checking in the U.S., and rollbacks to its hate speech policy globally that remove protections for women, people of color, trans people, and more. In the absence of data from Meta, we decided to go straight to users to assess if and how harmful content is manifesting on Meta platforms in the wake of January rollbacks.

Facebook: makes a system where the only way to get engagement is to hatepost.

People on facebook: hateposts

People: "How could this happen?"

I'm not convinced that much of it is real. Many accounts have to be fake. Surely people can't be as stupid as they appear. I think it's AI's funded or designed to be so stupidly biased.

Unfortunately people are that dumb if not dumber, but also yes there are tons of chatbots that are sowing anger and division usually in favor of conservatives. Weird how Elon was talking about how many bots are on Twitter and has completely stopped talking about it.

The CEO is a genocidal zio. USA is a hate group. What else do people expect?

I look forward to the day when the people wake up and drag the oppressors into the streets.

This is why I’ve switched back to the old internet. Chat like irc/matrix for social interaction. RSS for information. And webrings for browsing the personal garden websites that used to constitute the internet before social media took over. It’s been great.

The good internet magazine has been writing about this and is my inspiration

As well as the internet history podcast.

I mean look at what social media took from us. Have fun exploring that webring and following link after link to new web rings and personal gardens. I love it. Reminds me of the early 00s
