Wish we could have some of those rules here in the US…

“Blaming”? No one wants them to begin with…

this is a good thing though??

Damn stupid me! Once again thought this was #goodnews

Thanks to bloc’s new rules I guess. Fuck meta.

“I’m sorry to say I cannot accept any more money from disinformation groups political parties, particularly from certain regions* because another region won’t let me put your ads out there for the plebs users to be manipulated informed.”

^{* - Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, and other associated places.}

They probably think this will persuade the politicians to review these rules, as they can’t reach their target audiences anymore. I hope they see the overwhelming support for this decision, but I’m not sure if I’m in a bubble. I only see positive reactions so far. There was 1 critical article in the news, but just stating facts, no opinions. I think it’s great. Less brainwashing going on during the election cycles from now on since Facebook in particular allowed for some really specific demographic targeting.

A fantastic example of why regulation can be good and is often necessary. You can‘t leave tech corporations or even most corporations on their own accord. They need a short leash or they‘re going to tear humanity apart.

While pushing right wing and Russian „news“ I assume.

There is nothing to blame about except this should have come earlier and everywhere.

The regulations impose additional requirements for a reason - because political advertising can be extremely dangerous. If it’s a question of no political advertising or opaque, microtargeted political advertising that can’t be investigated later, then it’s an easy choice.

I see this as an absolute win

Fantastic news. Get the fuck out, Zuck

Oh shit, really?

That’s really a pity that luckily for me I’m no longer giving an absolute metric fuck about meta and any of its shit content or its servi…spywares since 10 years at least already, and also I haven’t the slightest idea of changing my plans in that regard.

Let’s be honest: We are talking about several billions of dollars of ad revenue over the years. Meta has the resources to work within those rules and earn billions. If they do not want to do that, there is something really shady going on.
