Can’t blame them. Facts no longer matter.

Or they can crowd source instead of paying a firm and get the same results for practically free. It’s the same way Xitter and Wikipedia and other wikis operate.

Mark Zuckerberg, Recipient of World’s First Rat Penis Transplant, Announces Meta Will Stop Fact Checking

At least it’s a good opportunity for parodic news medias to have some fun at Zuck’s expense.

The CEO will call people he disagrees with a r****d?

They “trust me” dumb fucks

They trusted that Zucker was a hell of a lot smarter than he actually is.

Oops.

Honestly surprised people still use Facebook besides old people. Most people I talk to around my age or younger say they don’t have it at all, only use it to keep in touch with certain people, or use it for business related reasons. My nieces and nephews straight up think it’s just a site for old people. If Meta didn’t have other sites like Instagram they probably wouldn’t nearly be as big as they are.

The generation that warned their children about brain rot have succumbed to that brain rot.

Facebook is for old people and idiots in general. Sadly some people have no other means to stay in touch so they have to use FB. It would be fair for them to believe that are actually in hell
