From the way American mega-corporations are going all-in on this, it seems like a long-term choice; so I think it’s one of two things: the shareholders are demanding that they go full republican (which isn’t happening AFAIK), or they’re trying to survive because they know something you don’t.
Disclaimer: not a US citizen/resident, but sad to see this happening tbh.
Edit: or it’s short-term and caused by Trump pressuring everybody to do controversial stuff in order to distract the public from the Epstein files.
It’s Trump and the Project 2025 ghouls.

Wait, that’s not a lesbian? Could’ve fooled me.
They’ve been projecting their insecurities this whole time, I bet.
How is it possible to be trans and anti-LGBT?
The exact same way you have “straight” gay/bi people.
“got mine. None for you”

We’re in hell.
Meta seems to really want to overcorrect… they demanded Meta remove their diversity policies, so Meta said that they’d do one better and just start stringing people up in the office.
I just had the opportunity to purchase “AI” eyeglasses. They do recording, pictures, capture audio, supposedly let you talk to them, etc. IIRC the frames were by Ray Ban, they didn’t look awful.
They were powered by Meta. That was an instant hard pass for me.
TBF I’d probably have skipped them anyway, but if they’d been some other company I’d have at least been intrigued and given them another look.
Looks like the evil, shitty little brother of Technology Connections
Keep Alec’s name out ya homophobic mouth Meta!

I love the irony of people trying to make there AI’s not gay.

TURING WAS GAY THE GODFATHER OF COMPUTERS.
oh the irony
anti-LGBTQ+ conspiracy theorist
That’s so nice of him to be opposed to LGBTQ+ conspiracy theorists!
that’s a cool 2025 headline
Delete your facebook accounts, and anything else related to this company. If your argument is that your family still uses one, then force them to get rid of it too.

My struggle for years has been quitting WhatsApp…
I never started using it. It’s the cancer version of messaging.
I sometimes get weird looks from people when I tell them I refuse to use it.
Signal is the way to go.
I quit everything except whatsapp, it’s virtually impossible without actually impacting my life negatively. Been trying and some friends have started using Signal, but most people don’t.
I guess it’s all about choosing what each of us deems worse. “Do I want a saner life even if it means not having some convenience, or is this change going to mess with my life for little benefit?”.
7 years ago I told everyone I was leaving WhatsApp and moving to Signal on day X. Some installed signal and we started using that exclusive, some others didn’t, and we stopped chatting, just did phone calls.
Fast forward to today, most of the people in my life use Signal, some of them exclusively to use it with me, and the rest, I haven’t missed (they call every now and then though).
It is a scary move, 100%, but well worth it, in my opinion.
Yeah in my experience I’ve been able to use regular texts, discord or signal instead. People will accept at least one most of the time
I really wish I could delete my Facebook and Instagram, but my late brother’s account is on both and I really miss him. I try to do my part by not making content for the machine nor interact with the platform and only go on when I really miss my brother
Backup the account webpage, then delete the account. There exists software that freezes web pages as is, as downloadable archives.

The anti-woke campaigner brought legal action against Meta – … – after the company’s artificial intelligence chatbot falsely stated he took part in the riot at the US Capitol on 6 January, 2021, seeking $5 million in damages.
Hold up, you can a convince a chat bot to say something bad about you and then sue that company into giving you a job?
What the fuck is happening right now?
We’re in the dumbest possible timeline.
We’re in the only timeline.
That doesn’t disprove my statement.
No, but it knocks a little wind out of the sail.
Not even a little.
OK, but it’s a really weird - and I think unhelpful - way for people to keep framing reality. Like we’re trying to pretend it’s just some story.
Yes, it doesn’t help that it’s an incredibly cliche piece of terminology.
If there’s only one time line, and you assert that it is the dumbest time line, it follows that it is also the smartest time line. Thereby rendering the statement null. Its not unproven, but neither does it matter.
That is a good example of talking to say nothing imo
Meta is one big scam is what I‘m taking away from the last decade.
Zuckerberg is such a coward.
He bends over backwards for even the slightest change in wind, like VR or a fascist govt. He dropped open-weight llama at the first experimental stumble.
Mark my words, if a mega liberals got into power, he’d fire this guy and act as woke as can be.
It’s not cowardice, it’s intentional. He wants a timeline where techno-lords with divine authority oversee their vassal states and nations are a thing of the past. Bending over for a fascist party is the fastest way to get there.
I honestly think Zuck is more of a coward than the Palantir CEO and that techno feudalism crowd. He’s just so obviously insecure in all his decision making it’s unreal.
If he was a coward he would never have hired Joel Kaplan.
Joel Kaplan was a Bush toady who participated in the Brooks Brothers riot.
