Another source of allegations about the behaviour at Meta comes from 7amleh's report on how they systematically suppressed what Americans and others were allowed see about Israel's invasion of Palestine. https://7amleh.org/storage/Advocacy%20Reports/Delete%20the%2...

Some more information about ngo-monitor:

> NGO Monitor is a right-wing organization based in Jerusalem that reports on international NGO (non-governmental organisation) activity from a pro-Israel perspective.

I'm more shocked there really weren't any shocking revelation. It's pretty much what everyone expected.

- Zuckerberg wants people to like him.. okay..

- Weird personal details about lingerie budgets.. an insinuation about Sandberg having some homosexual relationship.. eye roll

- The Myanmar stuff we already knew about. It's bad. It seems negligent, but not like Zuckerburg wants to drown babies (all the FANG don't want to hire moderators and want to solve everything with machines)

- They tried to work with the chinese government to get in to China. okay

I was expecting stuff like top VPs look at people's private messages willy nilly, or Zuckerberg makes sure supportive political condidates win in third world countries. Things that actually matter.

How boring.

What about the allegations that Facebook is suppressing informating regarding the ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestine?

Is that an eye roll as well in your book or is it newsworthy?

It‘s good that they are preventing the spread of fake news and anti-Israel hate content.

Pro Palestine propaganda is already incredibly pervasive and annoying anywhere you look online.

There can be a news article about Dubai chocolate and Palestine brainwashed bots will comment „…ok but what about PALESTINE?“

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Why do you mention Gates in particular?

If there's a person who used ALL his power to win every skirmish, no matter how unscrupulously, it was BG. A guy that powerful and unscrupulous and also unattractive with that horrible voice only gets women because of money and power. And the only woman who could stand him enough to marry him (and have his kids) was no looker, yet divorced him with no press whatsoever. That's the power of money. I suspect a lot of us…

I read plenty of press about her giving him a hall pass and the boot over Epstein eventually.

How would Palestine be able to afford bots?

Most people set the bar higher than 'does he want to drown babies'.

Thanks for the details. I guess she got what she wanted; it would make sense that he would end up with a person just as cutthroat as himself.

And, yeah, it stands to reason that Epstein is the real reason for his radio silence.

My point still stands, however. I very much doubt that all his paid-for NDAs were for tech reasons.
