Good. We need more watchmen calling everyone on their bullshit.

Changing rules for politicians.
Facebook has never been clear on what exceptions to its rules it allows for world leaders. This became particularly clear last summer when Trump posted that "looting" will lead to "shooting" in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd.
Some of Facebook's own staff protested at the time, saying the post was a clear incitement or glorification of violence. However, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said it would not be coming down.
Zuck made the right call there. There's no glorification or incitement of violence in Trump's statement. It was based on the pattern seen previously, and repeated after George Floyd's death.

It will be interesting to see how strict FB staff is on politicians going forward. Not just because they just went through a truly extreme case in Trump, but also to see if they let their own politics affect what they block, ala Twitter.

FB suggests people you may know, and it's generally friends of friends or such... then today I got this.

Assholes online are assholes IRL, too, they just typically only interact with their friends. On the internet, they interact with more strangers.

The Facebook Papers

It'll be interesting when and if the people in shock over what Facebook tracks realize that pretty much everyone keeps records like that on all of us.

Has a human trafficking problem.

Let's be very, very honest about something here. If the people in charge (governments) actually gave two shits, human trafficking would be crippled within a month.

Being blamed for inciting violence in Ethiopia.

What if the FBI, CIA, and NSA actually run Google, and that's why their parent company is called "Alphabet."

Based on their politics, it's probably more likely that the LGBQT+ community (also known as the alphabet people) are behind it. :D
