The House Dems just literally called out Facebook as abusing its monopoly this afternoon. With the way the polls are blowing, they’re starting to fear that someone is going to start calling them on their shit.

There we go. Okay, now that makes more sense to me… as to why now.

Yup. This is like the MPAA adopting the ratings system, or RIAA content warning stickers. An industry facing regulatory threats acting to try and prevent it.
Only far less sympathetic than either the RIAA or MPAA. Which is hard to accomplish since I despise the RIAA!
Fuck Facebook.
Facebook is going to stop political ads after the election

The article is basically saying this is to stop Trump from running a bunch of ads supporting his position if he decides not to give up power should he lose.
Harder than it looks… maybe Sartre was right.

Peloton’s target demographic really is the perfect overlap with batshit QAnon conspiracy theories and Blue Lives Matter goobers.
Or, as it is known in (a large part of) the free market fanclub, censorship by the cultural marxists in the deep state.
I’d be really surprised if any party anywhere regulates any of these fuckers to a significant extent, especially after throwing out the really low-hanging fruit.
I think we’re missing the point which is why the fuck is an exercise bike a social media platform?

Hey look, another one. It’s almost as if FB anticipates a less permissive congressional environment next year and is trying to make a showing of good faith effort to “self regulate”. And it might work.
Facebook has been advertising on most of the liberal podcasts I listen to for much of the last couple of months about how they’re gonna clean up their act, promise!
I hope they do. Sincerely. Zuckerberg behaves like a sociopath, but he is clearly rational and very intelligent. Keep the monetary incentives aligned with the outcomes we want for a more civil society and he’ll follow along.
Yeah FB has been aggressively pushing this sort of thing into my timeline lately.
