I have deleted all of my Meta accounts and it was like a withdrawal process but in the end I felt relieved. The thousand of friends that I had I no longer miss except for a few. I now see Substack having the same problems. Most of my followers are buxom young ladies. As a 78 year old man I find that highly suspicious.
The legacy media doesn’t want to talk about the Social Media trial, because they’d have to discuss psychological concepts, LIKE THEY NEVER DO ! — PSYCHOLOGICAL PROJECTION ? - what’s that ? — TRANSACTIONAL ISM ? - The King is totally consumed by that, but God-forbid you claim any smidgen of that, for yourself, because you’d have to know about what it IS, first ! — The King is a DEMENTED DARK TETRAD ? — but The King wants to pay-off his hired doctors, and he wouldn’t want you to find-out what the terminology means, anyway ! — LEGACY MEDIA FAIL ! — SUPPORT INDEPENDENT MEDIA !

Is Big Tech Facing a Big Tobacco Moment?
Back-to-back courtroom losses have put technology giants, including Meta and Google, in uncertain territory as they face lawsuits and bans on teen users.

Some legal experts wonder if Big Tech is staring at a Big Tobacco moment, a reference to how cigarette makers had to overhaul their businesses — at a huge expense — after courts ruled that some of their products were addictive and harmful.
“We’re in a new era, a digital era, where we have to rethink definitions for products based on which entities might have superior information to prevent these injuries and accidents,” Catherine Sharkey, a professor of law at N.Y.U., told The Times. She added that the “implications” of those verdicts were “very, very big.”
“This has potentially large impacts on other areas in tech, A.I. and beyond that,” Jessica Nall, a San Francisco lawyer who represents tech companies and executives, told The Wall Street Journal. “The floodgates are already open.”
Meta and Google plan to appeal. The companies have signaled that they will fight efforts to make them drastically redesign their products and algorithms.

I am banned from Facebook. I've written about it many times.....
This is one of many criminal activities an extremely small number of exorbitantly wealthy people are perpetrating on the vast majority of the public.
This is racketeering—it also includes collusion and extortion, and conspiracy and intent to defraud the public.
This IS organized crime against us as a nation but also the world’s population as a whole and it’s been going on for over 10 years, more like 35 to 40 years—RICOH!
They know that the general population is slow to react. They know our mind is on our families and survival, and that our whole system of economics is structured to benefit this minute group of individuals.
They know the vast majority of the population cannot understand the codes of laws that protect us nor can we take action in the form of direct violence against these criminals for their conspiracy to defraud and extort us.
This is one of the many reasons why we have elected representatives to protect us from these criminal activities and the insane greed these megalomaniacs seem to be possessed by.
We have allowed these criminals to pick our pockets in our preoccupation and struggle and to exist and provide for our families and ourselves.
We have been manipulated and abused by this extremely small group of billionaires—all of us.
We have inadvertently handed over our highest Court and our legislative department and allowed these select billionaire/trillionaires to gain access to vast profits—our money that we worked hard for—which became their money.
We must raise our heads and realize that the majority of the adults in this country and now our children are being exploited by these people and it has to stop.
The one thing we still have is our power of numbers. This is the one thing these grifters are terrified of. We need to use these numbers to change things—now. The power of the majority of humans who want a decent life, who work for it, pay our taxes for and deserve the life we work for, plan, and want.
Stop with the begging bowels and demand change—now.
Europe has demonstrated that what is needed is not just the elimination of 230, but also replacement with new guardrail laws like requiring algorithms designed to detect and censor things like hate speech and sexual seduction. One thing to keep in mind is that troll farms exist because they have an audience that finds their hate and lies appealing. They reinforce their distorted and hateful worldviews. Yes, sites groom kids, but that is likely because kids have already been pre-groomed by their unwitting families.
As a kid in the 1950s racism was subtly infused into our little brains. I was 9 when Ed Sullivan premiered Elvis. My mother turned to my sister and me, asking, "Wasn't that awful? A white boy singing nigger music? You didn't like it, did you!" Frank Sinatra Elvis was not. LOL. But my folks loved Black Nat King Cole and Ella Fitzgerald, so they likely did not view their remark as racist any more than we kids did.
However, 4 years later, the grooming was complete. I conned my parents into sending me to a Catholic prep school in downtown Chicago as a way to escape from all Whiteflightburbia grooming (not just racism). When I shared the news with my pals, they chorused, "Don't let the niggers getcha." By that age, the entire neighborhood had been subtly groomed to be racist, even though there was not a single black face in our town of 9,000.
There is no escaping getting tracked and ID'd today......
Therefore the limited capabilities when 230 came into being are no longer a problem. They can do the clean-up. We need to make them; we need our consumer protections BACK.
All kinds of people and things are kicked out of their "castles" these days. Commenters here have said they are banned from Facebook. Probably had something to do with telling the truth in their case.
The whole Technate of America concept of ruling the Western Hemisphere is that the Tech Bros and Crypto Creeps do not want rules, especially from a democratic government. Save our democratic values, because these psychos have NONE. See you in the streets on Saturday. Hope you can bring a friend.
Alis,great post and you are so right,the Technate do not want rules. They do not believe in Democracy,do anything they like and Wall Street,CNBC love it. There isa solution to the META issue,find a way to get Mark Zuckerberg who obviously knows what damage to children instagram and facebook have done. This issue has been around for a long time.
When are Americans going to really fight back? "GET MARK ZUCKERBERG " should be on every parent's "ToDO" list.
Section 230 should be done away with tomorrow,find out who supports it,go after them.
The same for Musk ,and of the course our "Nazi" in the white house. He's not my president.
The NSA data center at Bluffdale, UT was the subject of a 60 minute expose. It is humongous beyond the scope of anything you can imagine, and stores all electronic communications, not only of the US, but the world, anything it captures, and with the powers of AI it sniffs everything at the speed of light, Including our comments on substack and Facebook.
To see how fast AI is, it has access to everything that has appeared on the internet, including your emails. I asked a question about origins of a DNA SNP and the answer was essentially derived from an email I sent to others,
Ask google AI any question, and if it doesn't have an immediate answer, it comes back "thinking". It is not thinking it is scouring the data base at the speed of light.
I just left the message with my Senator Adam Schiff. The corruption is so deep and wide. Here we are today. I’m trying to understand how to live in all of this painful insanity. Our world truly is a jungle. Maybe I shouldn’t care about corrupt billionaires? In fact it is feeling absurd to even read about them. I am an ant, living in the big, wide and deep jungle. I do not matter and this may be my biggest strength.
Liquor stores and bars can be closed for serving underaged customers; restaurants can be closed for having roaches in the kitchen. The harm done by social media can be just as bad, if not worse, yet they are guaranteed as a right to remain in operation.
Jeffrey,its because they have a shitload of money and can buy off regulators and and Wall Street loves them. Find out who the large institutions who own Meta stock,call them and tell them we are identifying those firms and will boycott them. Unfortunately the financial markets are always the behind this kind of behavior.
Actually...Meta has been down and the shareholders have lost about 25% in the past 6 months and 6% today. If you are a shareholder you have standing to sue if you've lost money because this was a contingent liability that could be avoided.
I cited to the NYT article that compares this to what happened to the tobacco industry. Sued into bankruptcy.
It is about power, power brings social status, to sit at the top of the pyramid, money buys power.
These people have more money than they could ever spend, they have more toys and property than they will ever use. Money is simply a tool, money to get power, power to keep the money, but it is all about status.
And those at the top of the pyramid, have to fight each other, and the king of the hill, always has someone or someones grabbing at his legs to pull him down.
Our One True God is money. Money good. Not money bad. We need to do something about that.
No chance, without money people will starve, die of exposure and OMG not have a cell phone or social media for addiction.
We don’t need to eliminate money, we need to adjust our prayers.
I have deleted all of my Meta accounts and it was like a withdrawal process but in the end I felt relieved. The thousand of friends that I had I no longer miss except for a few. I now see Substack having the same problems. Most of my followers are buxom young ladies. As a 78 year old man I find that highly suspicious.
I get notification of followers, but delete them without looking further. Not interested.
I’m O.K., but the legacy media, ISN’T :
The legacy media doesn’t want to talk about the Social Media trial, because they’d have to discuss psychological concepts, LIKE THEY NEVER DO ! — PSYCHOLOGICAL PROJECTION ? - what’s that ? — TRANSACTIONAL ISM ? - The King is totally consumed by that, but God-forbid you claim any smidgen of that, for yourself, because you’d have to know about what it IS, first ! — The King is a DEMENTED DARK TETRAD ? — but The King wants to pay-off his hired doctors, and he wouldn’t want you to find-out what the terminology means, anyway ! — LEGACY MEDIA FAIL ! — SUPPORT INDEPENDENT MEDIA !

The key to revoking Section 230 is Children. Even hard core Christians, MAGAts, get anxious over the mental health and well being of their children
That's a true to beat, loud and continuous. This ruling against Zuckerberg is only a start, let it not die down but amplify.
William,agree 100% . How best to amplify.
Donnie flaunts that he's a MEDIA-WHORE. [That plus race hate is his secret sauce.]
But Billy C. [Mr. Lewinsky] will never admit that he was a MEDIA-ESCORT.
VOTE
SEND BORON [deliberate sp] and the newly eligible for combat, the aged-in ERIC to war.

The billionaires really have to go!!!
If an activity makes money it should be legal; if it doesn’t, “who cares?”, seems to be the driving principle of the Oligarchs.
It is about power, power brings social status, to sit at the top of the pyramid, money buys power.
