    Nah that's totally fair Rod, even the average :blob-no-thoughts: has no excuse for being unaware of how insidious "social media" is, so singling this one firm out is silly. I know Zuck got some shit during the Trump-Russia BS but compared to how bad the Cambridge Analytica stuff was this level of attention from US legislators is crazy.

      Ngl there's the fact that Facebook's own algorithms according to a lot of human rights groups were partially responsible for boosting the genocide in Malaysia if I remember correctly. Like Tiktok is either porn, animal videos, or weird informational videos and meanwhile Facebook has created multiple armed militia groups wanting to do a domestic terrorism the same way people decide to go on a picnic.
