Well this is shit.. think it's time to write in to state MPs about the gross loss of privacy in the Trojan of "protecting children"
Facebook is no longer properly moderating their platform
Let's stop pretending like there isn't constant incitement laws being broken, abusive behavior and constant racism.
What were they expecting? Normalizing criminal behavior and giving meta a hall pass because they're a large company?
This isn't a "gross loss of privacy". That's total BS. It's a private service which is responsible for a shitload of criminal issues. I'm not even talking civil / freedom of speech. There are constant witchhunts and abuse happening on it. I've seen so many ACTUAL violent threats against people too.
