I don't think you understand the issue. I'm very disappointed to see that this is the top comment. This wasn't an accident. These social media companies deliberately feed people the most upsetting and extreme material they can. They're intentionally radicalizing people to make money from engagement.

They're absolutely responsible for what they've done, and it isn't "by proxy", it's extremely direct and deliberate. It's long past time that courts held them liable. What they're doing is criminal.

I don't get these people. They knowingly chose to work for Meta after everything that company's done. You don't get to pretend you're the good guy anymore. They're by far the most evil big tech company on the planet and that says a fucking lot when you're up against MS, Oracle, Google and Apple

I think it's better to say that Newtonian physics is incomplete rather than wrong.

Firefox and chromium both outperform Safari in performance tests, or roughly the same depending on the setup.

It's Safari that's the third rate browser. No one would use that shit if it hadn't been forced on them and if the other vendors weren't restricted by Apple.

There's a reason Apple stopped making Safari for other platforms. It never caught on, 'cause it sucks. Safari can't compete without Apple kneecapping the competition. They're like a sports team that can't win without playing on their home turf at 10000 ft altitude where they pump in crowd noise and drug the other team's gatorade

Oh give me a break with this nonsense. Android has an 80% global market share, your average dipshit uses it just fine. It also "just works" and very frequently works better than iOS.

Safari is a shit tier browser when it comes to web standards and performance. It's hilarious how iOS users try so hard to justify blowing $1000 on a phone when an Android 1/2 of the price does exactly the same thing and is just as easy to use. Why can't you just enjoy your apple garbage without having this weird superiority complex?

We need workers rights more than legal weed, but you'll notice the Democrats never talk about that.

There's nothing ambiguous about this. Give me a break. We're demanding that social media companies stop deliberately driving negativity and extremism to get clicks. This has fuck all to do with free speech. What they're doing isn't "free speech", it's mass manipulation, and it's very deliberate. And it isn't disclosed to users at any point, which also makes it fraudulent.

It's incredibly ironic that you're accusing people of an effort to control expression when that's literally what social media has been doing since the beginning. They're the ones trying to turn the world into a dystopia, not the other way around.

The issue is that Meta's intention is to extinguish the fediverse, not to add to it. I can't believe people are still falling for this tactic.

Says the guy who just believes whatever bullshit climate deniers make up. Imagine being so ignorant that you're not aware we stopped using CFCs decades ago and that's why there's no hole in the ozone layer anymore. Fucking moron.

They should be fined for this too. Deliberately obfuscating the solution isn't compliance.

Oh so just more anti-science bullshit so they can choke down bribes from the meat industry.

I agree, but I want to clarify. It's not about making this material harder to access. It's about not deliberately serving that material to people who weren't looking it up in the first place in order to get more clicks.

There's a huge difference between a user looking up extreme content on purpose and social media serving extreme content to unsuspecting people because the company knows it will upset them.

The fediverse just needs time to grow. It's still a very new thing. Growth will take a long time, but the fediverse needs to be an alternative to corporate social media, not integrated with and dependent on it.

It will be more difficult and damaging to defederate later when Meta starts throwing its weight around, because people will become accustomed to a much larger community. The fact that threads has many more users will give Meta disproportionate power over the fediverse, but unlike other open source/free projects, their only goals are to profit and gain more influence over society.

It's best to never federate with them, even if that means losing growth opportunities in the short term.

If he actually wanted to legalize he'd fire the heads of these agencies and replace them with people who are supportive. Guess what, he's not doing that. The best we'll get schedule 3 which is still illegal.

Biden doesn't give a flying fuck about legalizing weed and never has. No amount of neolib gaslighting bullshit is going to change that. Always funny how Republican presidents do whatever the fuck they want but the second anyone talks about progressive policy our hands are tied. Not to mention Biden is illegally giving weapons to Israel.

Neolibs will always argue "the president can't do that" when it comes to progressive policy. Then they won't even pressure him to use the bully pulpit which is the president's greatest power. You've all been convinced that nothing can ever be done for you, and it's a blatant fucking lie.

For real. They haven't actually done shit yet. All these shills posting articles about Biden ordering the rescheduling prices to begin doesn't mean shit. It's literally the bare minimum he can do.

The DEA will keep it illegal and Biden won't do shit to retaliate, he'll say his hands are tied and the Democrat trash here will actually defend him for it.
