Come on… give Zuckerberg a break. As soon as he surpasses Jeff Bezos on the wealth charts he will rein in these claims
Voting ____________________________________________ Misinformation Flourishes on Facebook
In June, it seems like Zuckerberg is NOT like the Supremes AND gave the Treasonous Traitorous Thug Trump a pass with his misleading and mendacious FB usage wrt to violence, misleading info and other trumpian 
!
All told, Zuckerberg seems like sucking up/kissing Trump’s ass!
Sherrilyn Ifill, president of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc.; and Rashad Robinson, president of Color of Change. “We are disappointed and stunned by Mark’s incomprehensible explanations for allowing the Trump posts to remain up,” they said in a statement. “He refuses to acknowledge how Facebook is facilitating Trump’s call for violence against protesters. Mark is setting a very dangerous precedent.”
His time in the barrel is coming. When he’s ordered to appear before Congress, after January 2021, its gonna be a whole new ballgame. His odd and inexcusable way of not answering questions put to him, playing dumb and pretending Facebook simultaneously has the protections of a first amendment news media company while also just being a humble social media website where they aren’t responsible for what others post, will all fall apart in grand style. He won’t be able to keep up the farce forever. He will be regulated and there will be consequences…I hope.
Suckerbug got tooled by Parscale. He wants a ride in that Ferrari convertible.
Some sort of Giant Hero worship going on there, Mark has a man-crush and desperately wants a place as the chief tail-gunner on The Death Star.
He yearns for Alpha status and Beta’s just can’t do it, no matter how they try, even billionaire Betas. He’ll just never be as big as Bradley.
But now that Bradley’s flaccid, who knows?
I hate to admit it, but my takeaway is that if we concoct the right viral Facebook meme on November 2nd that Q said there was a liberal conspiracy to target Trump voters at the polls using toxic ink, we might reduce Republican turnout by a few percentage points. Not that I would ever do something like that…
“Facebook admits that 64% of the people on Facebook who joined extremist groups did so because FACEBOOK RECOMMENDED THEY JOIN EXTREMIST GROUPS.”https://t.co/GViRCQwezv https://t.co/n3eNnw0B0Q

Facebook is a sewer.
The Republican and Russian Trolls salt it with bullshit constantly. Yesterday I saw a picture of some old white guy biting a child. The caption said it was Joe Biden and that is the kind of man he is. It wasn’t, but people believed it even after somebody identified the old white guy.
The problem is we don’t KNOW how many people ‘believed’ it and how many are trolls SAYING they ‘believe’ it. Morons and fools.
Ah, Zuckerberg, Bezos, Musk, Page and Brin. Our new robber baron class.
What a wonderful world and life we’d all have if only they could run everything.
Facebook has done at least as much harm to this country as FOX News and Donald Trump have.
This is friggin’ outrageous. Zuck must pay a price for this.
Roll out the tumbrels.
It’s not just voting…I use FB to keep in touch with family and friends. It is most definitely not a “news source” for me.
Fines would be nice. plenty of zeroes.
Is Zuckerberg really to blame for the F-N Idiots who believe every word tapped out to Facebook? That’s like blaming Mad Magazine or The Onion.
This reminds me of the line in Elton John’s Bennie And The Jets:
“She’s got electric boots a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine…”
followers on Facebook
Alternatives exist.
Look. Fifty years ago, Facebook was the old guy on a park bench feeding the pigeons and bitching about the Rockefellers.
Facebook is allowing Republicans to lie in order to steal the election? In case you didn’t notice, this is my shocked face…
Really, everyone should realize by now that Facebook is full of misinformation, and does little to deal with it. And, that misinformation spreads wildly…I had to deal with someone today who was YELLING about a obviously fake CDC document saying masks were useless…I don’t know yet if she learned from it or has gone on to find another lie to feed on. Facebook makes money off of all of this, every long argument about basic facts earns them more because of all the clicks. We really need a new social media company that takes the facts seriously, or we need regulations that shut down sites that promulgate damaging lies.
