:sigh: I hate when people just tell outright lies for clicks.
Did bad people get money from Meta? Yes.
Did Meta actively pay bad people to post bad content? NO. This is like saying that Youtube had hired people to post AI videos targeting children because they pay people part of the advertising they sell on videos. It is not the same thing at all.
If a Walmart employee beats you up while they're on the clock, these twits would post "WALMART HIRED AND PAID PEOPLE TO BEAT INNOCENT PEOPLE UP".
Am I saying Meta is great? No1 Fuck you no! But is this headline bullshit? YES IT IS.
