    Private entities have the right to decide what is or is not acceptable content on their platforms. Consumers also have the right to choose which services they want to use.

    I encourage everyone to stop using anything involved with Meta. I personally have a list of Meta domains blocked on my home network.

    If enough people did this, the problem would resolve itself.

    How about “billionaires are edible” or “Tech bros are welfare queens” or “Watch out for a-luigi”?

    Look on the bright side: they’re saying these things under their legal names. You’ll know who they are and where they live.

      Facebook has plenty of promotional accounts, stale accounts hijacked by scammers, and straight up fake accounts. Hell, Meta’s been premiering entirely AI generated profiles.

      You could be getting N-bombed by a fully automated synthetic personality before too long.

        True, but also, there will be plenty of morons that just openly reveal who they are on their Facebook timeline. That’s still useful.

        Although being called slurs by a chatbot will probably just make people stop using Facebook.

    All of these news agencies are against this rule? Yet they keep posting and putting the offensive sentence right in the headline lol. That’s only spreading the message
