Pendulum Swing Watch 2025

[Null]

Meta formally announced a plan to dismantle their 3rd party fact checking system and replace it with Community Notes. The Zucc made a video post explaining this decision.

https://kiwifarms.st/threads/meta-ends-fact-checking-program-as-zuckerberg-vows-to-restore-free-expression-on-facebook-instagram.208803/

Some highlights of this video:

• Zucc says he <3 free speech.
• 3rd Party Fact Checkers "have done more harm than good".
• Automated censorship systems are a failure.
• Cites inclusive policies about "gender" specifically as being "outdated with discourse".
• Non-criminal behavior will require a human report before any action is made.
• People want more political news that they've been squashing.
• Zucc specifically says "We're moving our report service team from California to Texas" and I literally laughed out loud.
• "We will work with President Trump".

A&N isn't publicly viewable so I thought it'd be cute to have a Pendulum Watch thread for similar signals and actions.

It's shocking to me how quickly corpos are 180'ing, they're realizing they're losing public support fast. I don't mind that they're now against trannies and fact checking and shit but it feels so disingenuous. I think they shouldn't be spared from any upheaval just because they're switching sides.

As long as we have troons the pendulum will never swing fully right.

Honestly zucc dismanteling the orwellian machine he created was not on my 2025 predictions but I'm here for it. I really hope he doesn't get raped by shareholders over it. He has been blessed with the trust of elderly boomers so he may actually guide them to the promised land. If this goes well the overtun window will shift so far right that soon CNN will be debating weather a Partial Nigger Death would be a good policy for dems to adopt.

Hopefully anti troon and anti immigration groups get more mainstream. I've really noticed how the hands off moderation of Instagram reels has led to a lot more people calling out nigger / muslim behaviour. Only onwards and upwards folks!

Tired of winning yet kiwichads?

If someone tries something and fails, don't be so hasty to judge until you see if they learn from their mistake.

This is a positive thing. Still have to watch the lizard man though.

3rd Party Fact Checkers "have done more harm than good".

FACT CHECK: False.

We have investigated this claim against ourselves and found it baseless and also hurtful to our feelings.

 

[MerelyAPlateOfSpaghetti]

Nice

Maybe they realized how much extra, useless work policing gender shit like it's actually crime added for literally zero benefit

 

[Party Hat Wurmple]

I wonder if you can now use the Power Word on Facebook....

I don't think corporations give a single rat's behind about public support.
Someone bigger is poking them to change or they wouldn't be doing it.

"We will work with President Trump".

Its never been this over suckerbros

I disagree with the "pendulum swing" as being a good thing. No matter what "side" the "pendulum" is on, the state grows bigger, the central banks grow bigger, there are more regulations, more laws, more intervention.
Both the left wing and the right wing are nothing but parts of the birds of the state, and the bird is ravenously hungry.

 

[Epic Fail Man]

Will Meta finally get rid of porn on Instagram?
Also I remember back in 2013 on Facebook when the Internet became more widely available people from South American countries started spamming child prostitution ads (it's their culture) and there was a continuing trend of 3rd worlders spamming vile shit that their culture deems acceptable.

The solution is that the Internet should be segregated between continents. But I wonder if zuckerbot has a plan to fix that.

 

[G19]

Ugh... So he either pulled his balls out of his purse or he's just covering his own ass now that people are not accepting any more cultural bullshit.
This looks like a W, but I can't feel good about it if it took this long.

That's the thing, they used to not care about public support, until the public support was behind the guy who gunned down a ceo in the street.

 

[W'rkncacnter]

Interesting fit from Zucc. Also, everything he's doing is politically neutral but will be viewed as super right wing by the mainstream media even though all facebook is doing is facilitating discussion and making the platform less dystopian.

 

[UselessRubberKeyboard]

Genocided by Facebook, who’d have thought it.

Remains to be seen how the Facebook community will mod itself. If it’s half as full of screaming nutcases and rainbow haired gender respecters, not much will change. Fair play for admitting his mistakes though.

Quite the pendulum swing. Are the trannies malding about it on blue sky and discord yet?

I just want to be able to say things on the Internet, ffs. The authoritarian left stranglehold on social media doesn't allow for that at all.
