Outrage erupted Saturday after Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta appeared to take down a social media account run by No Kings organizers — just as more than 3,000 No Kings marches got underway nationwide.“Meta pulled down the main No Kings Instagram accounts.

Facebook has always served right wing agendas. long before trump ever came around.
conservatives have always gotten the soft hand, while any liberal rule breakers have gotten the iron fist.
and the reason is simple.
Conservatives are idiots. They click all the links, they watch all the ads, and they generate magnitudes more money than liberals with their adblockers and their inability to believe every bullshit propaganda fad.
I’d wager if they thought they’d get away with it, they’d just straight up ban anyone thats not a die hard conservative, not for any political agenda, but for the pure monetary exploitation.
I think this time is different though. Previously it was working in concert with people who tried to keep the atrocities behind the curtains and pretended to slap facebook on the wrist when they bent the rules. So everything was somewhat concealed in a facade of a justice system that seemed to care. And tech companies played their part by pretending to care. That did slow things down for tech oligarchs to some extent. They had to navigate their way through the justice system to make sure they still didn’t end up in a legal tangle.
Now Trump comes, he openly expresses the fact he doesn’t give a single shit about any kind of law and is intent on ruling the country like a thug and distort the law for this purpose too. He gives a mandate to every tech company “support me and you can run rampant without even pretending to care about the law, or don’t and perish because I will use the said law to completely destroy you”. And I think none of us were surprised when every big tech kissed the ring because this was their wet dream.
yeah, it was their wet dream because pandering to conservatism has always been a money maker. Its why every social media ever has always given wristslaps to conservatives for major rule violations, while liberal users get bans for minor infractions.
Cause conservatives as their bread and butter money makers. Always have been, Always will be. Nothing has changed except for how openly they parade their preferential treatment.
