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.
