Of course they are.

Mark Zuckerberg called Facebook users “dumb fucks.” What do you think he thinks about people who want to put Facebook literally on their faces?

In case it’s not obvious who his masters are.

Called them "dumb fucks" for trusting him with their personal information, no less.

Wasn't their dumbass lizard CEO just questioned about bullshit they are doing and days later they release this?

Replace "tech CEO's" with "S&P 500 CEO's".

America is a corporate dictatorship, where your access to freedom, liberty, and justice are proportional to your level of wealth.

That's true, but tech companies seem to get special treatment. Example: Uber created an enormous fleet of illegal taxis. But it was through an app, so it was fine.

Edit: lol at the downvote

Does anyone use facebook anymore? Everyone I talk to hates it now, keeps it for marketplace mostly. There is no alternative for friend connections as such as I understand it though, not with anyone on it, let alone a popular fediverse option. Even as facebook buggered their friend connections utility, presumably to win the anti trust case, to give the justices a half plausible reason to accept whatever pay offs they orchestrated for them under the table to rule in their favor in part of whole.

I know too damnany people who use it.

I never have. Never even been to the website.

I never gave them a picture, also spelled my name wrong, but that's not fooling anyone now. All of the baby boomers and other use it religiously now, and have surrendered every detail of their lives to it, while my generation is now regretting having done so prior and cutting it back out.
