    Without scams, spam, slop, bots and ads, facebook would be rather empty.

    Not surprising at all.

    US will remain a chauvinistic plutocracy until Zuckerberg and all his goons are caught and put in ball and chains.

    And that’s just one case, there is also Meta’s enablement of the Rohingya genocide, which is arguably a far more serious crime than systematic enablement of mass scale fraud.

      Fuck that. Zuckerberg and his cronies, plus their families a d anyone even remotely related to them or anyone who shares even 1/10th of their thought processes need the Romanov treatment.

      And this appears to be the Reuters article your image is referring to: https://www.reuters.com/investigations/meta-created-playbook-fend-off-pressure-crack-down-scammers-documents-show-2025-12-31/

    Meta actively doesn’t care about AI fake profiles or scammy shit.

    Even TikTok cares more and actually take down shit if you report it and it’s supposed to be the evil propaganda machine 😆

    what people get even more angry about is the suggestion that they delete their facebook account
