    Social media liability law suits?

    Anyone else catch this?

    Ive only caught parts of the TV adds twice.

    Appears to be the beginning of a class action suit against facetrash, tweeter etc.

    Seen on late night TV and appears to be a poorly funded, hence, late night, ambulance chaser type ad.
    Like the ones for Roundup etc.

    Then it dawned on me, Jack Dorsey just stepped down from tweeter, facetrash just changed its name, ****erburg is backing away from the helm, etc, etc.

    facetrash is now running continuous tv ads promoting their efforts in equal content (BS!) deletion, showing how fair they really are (!!!) and their support of provision 2300 (I think) which monitors social media control.
    IMO, the latter to prevent another facetrash competitor.

    What do you guys think?
    W/this latest Mi school shooting, is a day of reckoning finally coming for these slime balls???

    Of all the whacked out young people that think facetrash is real life, I’d think it’d be fertile ground for law suits.

    *EDIT*
    The ad is aimed to parents w/kids struggling to fit into real life after spending time on social media.

    I personally think sm is the cause of a large part of our issues today. Spread of misinformation, directed censorship, platform for abuse, and the list goes on. Sounded like a good idea but like everything else it gets used for unintended purposes. Trumps mean tweets get banned but death threats slip under the radar. Makes no sense and I think the platforms should be accountable. We have too many loopholes and the founders should still be liable whether they back out now or 6 years from now.

    Personally; I think all of the SM companies realize that when the Republicans take over the House & Senate in 10 months... Section 230 protection is going to be eliminated for them.

    Seeing Biden/Harris tanking poll numbers and democrat retirements, they must realize they have no one that can save them... so they're making a play for "superficial" revisions now, on their terms.

    Every person that calls themselves a "conservative" should jump on this band wagon!!!

    They have been throttling us on social media long enough!

    If there is a class action lawsuit that needs another name, I am all over that! "Like white on rice!"

    OH, and look at this new gem:

    I went a yr or two w/o being on fb and when I checked in on a post I noticed that half of my political posts had been deleted.

    Fk them!

    Why anyone in this day and age uses any of those platforms is beyond me

    I believe all the suits will be trashed. Read your user agreements people, it’s Michael Burry worth it

    Never had SM, don't want SM, don't have the slightest interest in anything that crap has to offer. I'd rather be on the boat or in the woods than seeking out what some idiot from my old high school is having for dinner...

    That is a common practice. Happens all the time. I've gotten fact checked for a joke, meme, etc. I use it as a news source and to keep up with some friends.

    I couldn't find any class action lawsuits, but I'll keep looking. I found this, but that's not it: https://www.forbes.com/sites/petersu...h=184ab7ba3392

    The social media companies need to be broken up and lose their immunity for censorship.

    I think it's funny how many conservatives complain about Facebook, etc. yet they still have the accounts and still post.

    You wouldn't honestly expect people who don't use Facebook to know what's wrong with it, would you? I have never been censored or banned by Facebook, but only because I don't use it.

    Well, this will bring the pitchforks and torches out. Well played, old chap. Prepare for the lynch mob, lol.

    And then what? You want the state to have a say in what private companies will and won't allow? I would presume you feel a baker should be forced to make a cake for a gay wedding, yes? See how slippery slopes work? Over the years, I traveled extensively for work, always brought my motorcycle and mountain bike. FB was a great way to find groups of like minded people, unlike many on FB, I actually used it to meet people, and make friends, not taunt and piss off strangers, then whine for being banned. If you've been banned from a social media site, you should be looking inward. Therein lies the problem.

    And for the clowns saying they've never done social media, you're posting on an internet discussion forum. L_O_L.

    Yeah, didn't realize I had deleted almost all my old posts back when one could do so.
    Sorry I broke my own rule and posted something, LOL.
