He explained it wasn't even about the cost. Yes it's expensive but he willing to throw billions at it for years. It's not working and that's the problem.
They are unable to read every single thing posted. So they use ai. But ai makes mistakes. So you can let the ai be more lenient and say ban accounts that it is 50% sure is a bot. But then the ai bans a lot of real accounts by accident. There is no winning and they were fighting a loosing battle constantly with no rock solid answer. Idk the answer to it but neither does meta. It's not their fault a third of the population of earth uses there services everyday. It's a lot to monitor and every step they take to make it better the bots/badguys take another step and are always on step ahead. It's a losing battle for everyone involved except the bots. So they are gonna try leaving it up to the individual to figure out what's what. It's that or they try to be mommy and daddy and treat their users like babies.
That's why everybody should migrate to smaller platforms - The internet is decentralized by design and people use these stupid sites that swallow personal data and regurgitate propaganda.
Just regulate that they're legally responsible for the content they host. If their platform is too big for them to police then they need to shrink it or shut it down.
It's not how much money you're pouring on it. It's not that "it's not working".
Fake news enraging idiots who will vomit their hate all over and get into clashes is the highest earning formula for the business. And in a time where the new ruler of the USA is himself a big fan of hate speeches, while the EU and some other countries are ready to hammer Meta over their poor moderation, it's also a strategic political move.
So the idea is to allow fake news and hate speecher while making big claims about freedom of speech and appeal to MAGA's kindergarden bosses in hope they'll defend him against evil regulators.
That's all it is.
And you believed him
About what? He's not saying anything unbelievable.
“It’s not about cost.” Running an imperfect system expensively is not grounds to gut the system entirely.
I don’t believe it’s not about cost and in my opinion you’re silly to believe it. You fell for propaganda and even worse it was propaganda on Joe Rogan of all places lmao.
Okay agree to disagree. I think meta is a company/business and obviously is looking at cost vs impact etc. And they deemed it to expensive to continue fighting a losing battle. If you don't like it don't use meta which I'm sure you don't. But I don't blame them at all for coming to this decision and I don't think they are responsible to teach you right from wrong either. Like I said it's not their fault a third of the world uses their services everyday. They made a great social media site and its become one of if not the most popular on earth. But that's all they are, a social media business. I wouldn't blame a smaller business that came to similar conclusions that just impact less people. It happens all the time it's just I think meta gets all the attention because it's the biggest one. But it's still just a company making money at the end of the day.
