Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Easily the dumbest and least innovative of the silicon valley megabillionaires.
Seriously, Facebook was not even the first Social Media of it’s type. Truly bizarre that this guy has earned so much.
Yeah, I honestly did not really understand why Myspace was that big of deal (other than for bands trying to make it - it did seem like a useful platform for that) and I didn't really see what distinguished FB as anything remarkably better? Maybe it was just more addictive, and that's it. I still get annoyed when someone sends me a FB link to something, because usually to read much of it, I have to log in. FFS, walled garden? Why not send me a link to a Compuserve forum or something?
...but it still makes me laugh that starting around the time of FB's ascent, the notion of technical/media literacy jumped from actual literacy in either/both of those things, to knowing your way around a particular brand's version of that, all while dumping on the last set of now-deemed-uncool-by-the-cool-kids brands. So, at one point, it was all the hilarity to bash someone still using Myspace, while being on Facebook. Now it's moved onto dunking on "boomers" still using Facebook with any kind of frequency and proclaiming that only the people on TikTok really "get it".
WTF is there to get? This is a brand thing. People sliding their finger around on a screen, engaged with an algorithm meant to treat them like someone at a slot machine are probably actively getting stupider about both tech and media, regardless of the brand they happen to be using. This is like saying someone drinking Coke doesn't really get it, because "Pepsi is the choice of a new generation". Brainless.
Is Friendster detrademarked yet? It would be a great name for a friendica instance.
Yes he is. He went in Joe Rogan recently and tried to pretend that he goes bow hunting and Rogan could tell he was lying and made him look like an idiot.
Rogan is one of those idolized dorks who occasionally, somewhat usefully, point out to their base that another idolized dork should be rightfully mocked.
Dork is very tame. The guy talks batshit crazy stuff. Angels living among us and I don't know what, really to of the line bullshit.

It's so fucking weird that he would think that bow hunting is some kind of flex. I guess that's 'merica for ya.
I'd be really curious what he means about "masculine energy" at companies. As in, what is the actual manifestation of that? Do they go bow hunting as a team building thing?
The dude is just insecure with his masculinity. That’s all it is. He’s trying to cultivate some kind of manly tech bro image that doesn’t fucking exist, and he’s bad at it.

Lol as a fan of archery I’d really like to see that.
EU should ban Meta like the US is banning Tiktok
That's literally a threat to their sovereignty.
They should say "fuck that", block Meta, and seize all his European assets until he falls in line.
The EU is way too liberal to seize his assets. This will never happen. They'll gladly bow down to the US hegemony and the US fascist regime before they lift a finger. We'll just hear a bunch of strong words of condemnation (if we even hear anything at all lol) and that's about it.
I'm thinking Mark needs the EU more than they need him...
Yeah if they shut out Facebook I’m willing to bet a properly funded EU-based company could fairly quickly build up similar infrastructure. /srs
Pushing an open-source alternative like Friendica would be ideal but either way the globally anti-competitive nature of giant social corporations has gone on too long; a breaking point for innovation is overdue.
Given that the EU has accounts on Mastodon, why not check all the list and make every government in the EU have their own AP servers? Not only Mastodon but Lemmy, Pixelfed, Peertube, ...
"I'm telling Mom!!!"
Zuck is such a beta.
Also, they were banned with Russia and China, maybe start w there
I cannot for the life of me imagine being worth $200B and still being willing to kiss anyone's ass, let alone Trump's.
I think that’s the starting point anyway. WWIII, fought over Facebook 🤦♂️
Trump will not fight war against China or Russia, except “trade war” which is hurting Americans more than China. .
Cuckerberg. It’s right there.

Do they realize the EU is a foreign group of countries, with separate legislation and autonomous power?
Literally no. They can not wrap their heads around the idea that other people have agency.
I assume they expect them to cower to political/economic threats. Which they may do.

This whole MAGA thing is one giant oedipus complex
Real big "my dad is stronger than your dad" energy
His friends would be embarrassed, if he had any
Death to Meta.
God these tech billionaires have such thin skin. Bunch of whiney bitch boys, the lot of 'em!
What a fucking man child.
I'm still having hard time processing that these are the kind of fuckers that the world has to bend its knees too. These billionaires are fucking parasites to all and need to go straight to the guillotine.
Fucking temper tantrum whiney little bitch.
Daddy T, I'm not getting my way, make them do what I want!
Tbh I'd bet most dairy farmers are pretty solid fighters.
Wrong! I win!
Correct answer would have been "How appropriate. You fight like a cow!"
Soon you'll be wearing my sword like a shish kebab.
First you'd better stop waving it like a feather duster!

This kind of thing is common and has happened for decades. Boeing is the example you are probably most familiar with.
Holy cow Zucky literally calls him Big Daddy
Meta just asking to be fined in the EU.
Time for anyone who doesn't live within the USA to dump all USA tech. No need to "go after" governments, if the people in those countries simply do not use any USA companies. We do not need META (Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp), Musk (SpaceX, Twitter, Neuralink, SolarCity, Tesla), Bezos (Amazon, Whole Foods, Washington Post, Audible, IMDb, MGM,Twitch, Ring, Alexa), etc.
Meta is the Karen of tech companies.
Luckily for Zuckerberg, then, Meta isn't unfairly punished. It's going to be punished quite fairly.
People need to leave their personality cult echo chamber human cattle factory facilitators based in the US.
What a bitch.
