Mf its been time to do that since 2013 for facebook and since musk bought twitter.
What happened in 2013?
Snowden leaks. But also the Cambridge analytica scandal should also have been a red flag for everyone
Cambridge Analytic was just a bit past when I got rid of it
One nice thing about being in Canada. Meta opted out of the news game and now we can say that any "news" shared on Meta is legit fake.
Me: So where did you see this "news" ?
Other Person: I don't remember who sent it but it was in my Facebook feed.
M: You're still in Canada, right?
O: Yes, so? What's that got to do with anything?
M: So it's fake.
O: How do you know? How do you know the other stuff isn't fake and the only true news is on Facebook?
M: Because under C-18, big megacorps like Google and Meta would have to pay up for each piece of genuine news that they share. Google agreed and worked out a deal, but Meta said no way.
O: And...?
M: So that means anything you see in Facebook isn't real news. Because Meta won't pay for it, so they'd block it if it was real. Literally everything you see there is fake news.
O: No way that's true.
M: Why don't you ask Facebook? https://about.fb.com/news/2023/06/changes-to-news-availability-on-our-platforms-in-canada/
O: (long pause)
O: Dang.
Cambridge should've been when everyone was done and tossed them out. But people are too weak
