@the_wub @mhoye @thesquirrelfish The algorithm is designed to abuse us, we know that, people are dead. Stop talking about age verification - destroy the machine designed to hurt us already. Stop taking up their debate to keep the "right" to be abused. Organized crime? Facebook is extracting money from society with fake ads, fake clicks on those ads, pairing pedophiles with children and abusing our innate desires and exploiting our desires - making us tribal and caustic as a society. We're worried about the fear of organized crime? It's killing us *now*. Are we really discussing our right to have this tool or are we fighting for the right to be abused by it? Facebook got Trump elected. It's helped enabled genocide in parts of the globe. Most of the COVID disinformation started with 12 people on Facebook. They serve ads for illegal medications that are actually deadly poisoned drugs. My local news stations post 10 stories a day causing racial conflict. Their business model is ads - which are served to bots, clicked on by bots and are estimated to be 25% scams outright. Give them an ID? They should be abolished.
