nothing Facebook is doing is illegal

the only thing you can accuse them of is monopolistic behavior and even still thats a stretch
The question isn't is what Facebook doing illegal. The question at hand is should it be and to what extent.

Saying lawmakers shouldn't look into issues because it isn't already illegal is about as bad faith of an argument one can make.

idk

idc about those individual scandals, but i do think facebook is a net-negative for society and turns out the most brainwashed q-pilled psychotic right wing boomers and should be broken up. no reason for them to own whatsapp and selling peoples data cuz it was competing with their messanger app.

Seems like you don't have the range for the discussion to be quite honest. facebook's own internal research shows how problematic their platforms are and your position is basically "well then stop using it", completely ignoring that their platforms are engineered to get people addicted. Do the leg work and see what the fuss is about or don't talk about it at all but what you're doing here in this thread is bordering on shill like behavior.

Do you use Facebook?

At its core, a website is doing what it can to keep engagement up.

Idiots are gonna be swayed by bullshyt regardless. IDK what I'm supposed to care about here.

Don't care about genocide brehs. I'd say it's wild that anyone wouldn't care but of course neoliberals are naturally mentally handicapped so I shouldn't be too surprised. An online product intentionally feeding false and dangerous information to their consumer is problematic as fukk and I can't believe anyone would handwave this shyt.

Right, this is one situation where the media is doing a very good job of laying out for you why this is a huge problem.

Facebook has caused so much harm in the world including the radicalization of people like the Hindu nationalists in India, the murders of Rohingya in Myanmar, all this anti vaccine shid..

Remove Section 230 protections for this firm and others who profit off of selling everyone's data to advertisers. FB is gonna have to pay sooner or later. Also, get WhatsApp and Instagram off their hands.
