  1. I love Brazil for going after these socmed companies holding their feet to the fire 

  2. Prediction: Facebook/US Gov’t are going to try to make an example out of them by forcing them to comply with American free speech laws. Whichever way it goes will set the tone for every other country that wants to stand up for themselves.

  3. What’s to explain? Orange felon says he doesn’t like being corrected so Zuckerberg  stopped shoveling money at him just long enough to send an email to remove fact checking. That’s how an oligarchy works. 

  4. Upper Echelon made a YT video about these “fact checkers” turns out they’re super biased & were making political donations when they said they weren’t. Nobody was actually fact checking the “fact checkers”.

  5. I have no idea how it works elsewhere, but here in Brazil fact-checkers are extremely biased and heavily politically motivated

    The idea of a single entitity dictating if something is true or not is too close to censorship and a descentralized system of fact-checking like X has is much better

    If anything governament should push regulations against bots that are used to mass spresd narratives, systems to identify and flag AI content, transparency of who is supporting promoted/payed content etc…

    But some people here really want to be able to dictate what is “truth” or not

  6. Hate speech platforms like Meta should be banned in countries with hate speech legislation 

  7. I’m surprised that it wasn’t the EU weighing in first. 

  8. Dude those changes look so fucking bad. These changes seem like something you would only do for malicious purposes so some explaining needs to be had.

  9. Just send them a photo of Trump bending Zuck over the counter

  10. Facebook bout to start pumping out disinformation in Brazil to destabilize the government

  12. Why is it always other countries forcing American tech companies to do the right thing? UK forcing Apple to open 3rd party apps, allowing users to completely delete acct.

  13. so many stupid bots in these comments. please don’t let them influence you. death to all billionaires

  14. If the corrupt gov’t of Brazil has a problem with it, then I know it’s good for democracy.

  15. Cause fact checking is driving away the only user base Meta still has. Bigoted boomers and conspiracy theory nut bags.

  16. Does anyone here actually believe these Fact-Checkers even changed anything? The overwhelming majority of people don’t change their opinions when presented with alternative views or data, they just accuse it of being biased and carry on with their day and unchanged ideas. Fact Checkers being eliminated from Facebook literally means nothing.

  17. Thank god our economy has shifted to China lol, Rubio will scream to us to “apply the first” or get tariffs

  19. It would be hilarious if meta, after all their pushing to get tiktok cancelled, gets cancelled in Brazil
