Say what you want about Elon Musk, he released the Twitter Files to show everyone what was happening under Dorsey's watch. Zuckerberg will have to do the same if he wants to show people he's sincere about his nee censorship policies.

I imagine the code is 100000000x worse. Facebook/Meta has been around longer than Twitter/X, so they've had more time to slow-cook that place to death.

One interesting thing about Zuckerberg is that he has started doing is Jiu-Jitsu, now, I'm not saying I trust him or that you should trust him but I do find it interesting how men tend to become better (and, curiously, more right-leaning) after they learn a discipline, especially if it is a physical discipline, the fighting is just extra and is mainly for money.

Conversely, Elon got fat (again) and his autism got out of control. It would be curious to see what a mandatory draft would do for men, having them train and take care of their bodies properly without the need to send them anywhere. I do believe that a lot wrong with modern men in the US stems solely from what they eat and lack of proper excersise and discipline.

Politics is downstream from biology. The most seismic political event of the last 100 years without question has been the invention of the birth control pill. Giving women total reproductive autonomy has so many far-reaching implications for society that I think we still haven't completely come to terms with what it will mean.

So while it’s nice to have some political opinion and use yer dang free speech to convey that opinion to another, the real way to act politically would be to alter our biology. I dont know exactly how our biology might be altered to bring about some other political shift as vast as the pill, but you’re totally correct when you note the increase in right-leaning sentiment in men who begin some form of physical training.

The Civil Rights Act is actually what forbids these anti-white hiring practices. The law forbids discrimination on the basis of race or sex, full stop. There are no exceptions for "privilege and power."

The Equal Employment Opportunity act (EEO) is what allows discrimination on basis of race and sex. As long as those are White and Male. It has been corrupted by those who need it to mean they can hire anyone else that applies for the job, or promote anyone else into the job, that isnt white. By definition its if the preferred class is equally qualified to the white male, then you CANT hire the white. If the white is more qualified you still can hire the white guy...and thats the problem. The white males were/are always more qualified. So now they need "more equity". White guy gets a degree in business or information systems. Black kween gets a degree in African Grievance Studies and Lesbian Expressionism.

The "DEI Hire" meme is just the "Equal Opportunity" hire meme...but the DEI hire programs are more brazen about their discrimination and exclusionary tactics towards white men (and white women to an extent).

I've been doing a bit of digging into a CEO of a DEI non profit and put her name into the FEC database just to see what would come up. Naturally, she's made a bunch of donations to Actblue/Biden/Harris, but I saw quite a few repeats of $180 or $18, which seemed oddly specific.
The reason:

New early life check, imo.
(Is there a thread for posting info about the officers of various non-profits? Especially DEI/politically based ones?)

Don't be fooled, Zuckerberg is a weasel who will do whatever it takes to ingratiate himself to whoever benefits him more at the time.

I'm glad he buckled a bit, but it's clearly not due to some change of heart.

Zuckerborg responding naturally to incentives is not necessarily a bad thing. It depends on who has the power to create incentives and for what behavior

Do you smell that, everyone? That's the smell of a burning bridge. And boy, does it smell beautiful.

Using my source to check the pulse on what internet (mostly left leaning) normies think, Facebook is already regarded as boomer and QAnon central.

I imagine this is the nail in the coffin regarding Zuckerberg EVER, EVER, getting into the neutral graces of the rainbow community again. Once you fuck up the juggling act to keep them complacent, that's your existence in their eyes. Forever.

I think this is the first time I've seen a corporation loudly proclaim"We are deleting the gay shit out of our site".

Thinking back on the LEGO Pride sets (which were never pulled) or Target quietly taking down Pride products from their stores, the Bud Light controversy which was loud at first and they didn't recall their products in the end. Amazon and Microsoft too had Pride themes (I think), all of them had reversed their changes in a subtle way, often using a PR statement to save face. Intedasting times indeed.

The process is the punishment. Like I said, the whole thing was a blatantly unconstitutional, kangaroo court shitshow and I can only hope NYC and the courts' decisions come back to haunt them, just like all the Congress antics guaranteeing Republican leadership if Trump gets assassinated. Completely ridiculous.

However, lol. Lmao.

Hell's waiting for them. It's why the NYC courts throwing everything they can at trump before he takes office in 2 weeks

9 days has been declared til tiktok gone.

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments Friday over whether the federal law—which requires TikTok to separate from parent company ByteDance or else be banned—is in violation of the First Amendment.

•
TikTok and content creators on the app argued the ban violates their First Amendment rights by cutting off all speech on the platform, while the federal government argued the ban is necessary for national security, given ByteDance’s Chinese ownership.

•
Justices on both sides of the aisle appeared skeptical of TikTok’s arguments on Friday, with Justices Elena Kagan and Amy Coney Barrett questioning how TikTok’s First Amendment rights are implicated when the law is specifically targeting ByteDance—a foreign-owned company—and its algorithm.

•
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson suggested TikTok was “wrong” that the case violates its First Amendment rights, and said she thought the case was more about TikTok wanting to associate with ByteDance than its speech being silenced.
•
Chief Justice John Roberts said the federal law was “not a burden on” TikTok and its users’ “expression at all,” arguing Congress was fine with users’ speech on the app but just not a “foreign adversary” gathering information about the app’s users.
•
Justice Samuel Alito asked TikTok creators’ attorney about whether his clients would actually be harmed if TikTok went away or if they could just go to a different platform, questioning whether their attachment to TikTok was akin to “somebody’s attachment to an old article of clothing” that could be replaced or if ByteDance had truly created a “magical algorithm” that no other tech company could possibly replicate.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh brought up past examples of the U.S. blocking broadcasting companies from having ties to foreign governments and brought up the government’s concerns about TikTok collecting data on U.S. users, which he said “seems like a huge concern for the future of the country.”

Crucial Quote​

If the TikTok ban takes effect, “At least as I understand it, we go dark—essentially the platform shuts down,” TikTok’s lawyer Noel Francisco told the court Friday about the impact of the federal law. “It’s essentially gonna stop operating, I think that’s the consequence of this law.”
