    I’m so fucking tired of this acceptance people have where they treat Meta and Facebook as separate entities. Where, at one point, it was just one entity called Facebook. Facebook doesn’t have a parent company, because it’s just Facebook. Meta only came into existence because Mark was forced his hand in some monopoly issue or something.

    And big surprise, Facebook dictating who can and can’t be on it’s platform.

      Yeah, I don’t get it. No one says, “fuck Alphabet for how they’re handling YouTube”. No one says, “fuck Alphabet for baking spyware into Android and Chrome”. No, they criticize Google for that stuff. Why is Facebook different?

      I don’t think the people doing it now are bots, but I swear the Facebook-Meta separation had to have been started by astroturfing. People seemed way too eager to accept the rebranding and act like Meta was somehow different from Facebook.
