These entities have regulators as I'm sure you're aware. Locally it's TATT. In the case of the USA, it's the FCC. Their broadcast license can be revoked. Social media companies regulate themselves.adnj wrote:Country_Bookie wrote:

As dangerous as it is for someone as volatile and unhinged as Musk have that power via Twitter, it's amplified when Zuckerberg has that power over so many social networks.
Television stations, radio stations, and newspapers have been in control of what is said on their mediums since their very beginnings. Not much difference beyond much social media content is posted at no cost to the creator.
As we direct our gaze toward that ridiculous and exhibitionist proposition, we largely ignore the much larger societal questions, like how is it that Musk — who re-tweets conspiracy theories and posts antisemitic tropes — now controls such an important cultural space, a channel that once served as a platform for foreign meddling in the 2016 election.
Zuckerberg’s Facebook also had a shameful role in the 2016 election, publishing disinformation produced by what we now know was a Russian troll farm.
Remember Zuckerberg saying the idea that fake news on Facebook influenced the 2016 election was a “pretty crazy idea,” a statement he says he has since come to regret?
While we think and write about the possibility of a cage fight by these billionaires, what we are not thinking or writing about so much are far more important questions, such as whether their social media properties should be regulated by some force bigger than them, like the government.
The Communications Act of 1934, which regulates radio and broadcast television, mandated that stations had to operate “in the public interest.” One former chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, which enforced the standard, said he thought of public interest as the “common good.”
That concept of social responsibility seems totally lost on these two. Until forced to do so, as Zuckerberg was with studies and hearings done after the 2016 election, they seem to take no responsibility for what is published on their platforms. And we as a society are poorer for it.

Twitter’s revenue from U.S. advertising in April was down 59% from the previous year, the New York Times reported Monday, after major advertisers left the social media platform following billionaire Elon Musk’s takeover—though Musk claimed two months ago the site was “breaking even.”pete wrote:The real test is whether brands move or reduce their spending on twitter and move that budget to Threads.
Bad enough that as it is now, engagement on advertiser posts are bombarded with people who pay for twitter blue right below almost always taking crap about the brand.

I don't know what the landing page actually looks like, but the condition for removal falls under Facebook's cross-platform Bullying and Harassment Policy. According to US Title VII law, the statement also fits the definition of harassment.redmanjp wrote:st7 wrote:how is that hate speech? wow... real snowflakes/liberals as usual
this is cultural marxism/communism. in those countries like china and former soviet union they penalize u for having a different opinion. in the west they don't (yet) do it fully through the law but through other means like social media, cancel culture, etc. although when those snowflakes get into power they WILL change the law as well.

Threads app signs up 100m users in less than a week
https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-66153244
Threads, the social media app aimed at rivalling Twitter, has signed up more than 100 million users in less than five days, according to new data.
It means Threads, launched by Instagram-owner Meta, has beaten a record set by Open AI's ChatGPT app.

Sensor Tower data suggests a significant pullback in user engagement since Threads’ launch: On Tuesday and Wednesday, the platform’s number of daily active users were down about 20% from Saturday, and the time spent for user was down 50%, from 20 minutes to 10 minutes.
“These early returns signal that despite the hoopla during its launch, it will still be an uphill climb for Threads to carve out space in most users’ social network routine,” Bartolacci said. “The backing of Meta and the integration with Instagram likely gives Threads a much higher flood than other services, but it will need a more compelling value proposition than simply ‘Twitter, but without Elon Musk.’”
Data from Similarweb, a digital data and analytics company, showed similar trends. Threads saw a dropoff of more than 25% in daily active users between its July 7 peak and Monday for Threads users on Android phones worldwide. The company is not yet finished calibrating its model with iOS data.
Similarweb data also suggested that usage time dropped by more than half, with the average amount of time U.S. users spent on the app dropping from about 20 minutes on July 6 to just over 8 minutes on July 10.
“We did see engagement drop somewhat over the weekend, and on Monday we estimate Threads had 36.6 million active users on Android,” David Carr, senior insights manager at Similarweb, told CNBC, adding, “While there was intense interest in checking out the app initially, not every user has made a habit of visiting Threads as often as they might other social apps.”
Since its debut on July 5, Threads made headlines for its Instagram sign-up integration, algorithmic feed and positive sentiment from advertisers. Within one day of Threads’ launch, The Verge reported that users had already posted more than 95 million posts and 190 million likes, based on internal company data it had viewed.

Hey guys, there is currently what seems to be a global IG and FB outage. In case you’re attempting to login to either and being prompted with incorrect password etc, don’t make any attempts to do that at this time. Wait until official notification from FB or IG. This may be (just hinting) an authentication breach at which point you’d need to update your passwords. Once you have 2FA set up you should be safe. Stay tuned to the web, X or LinkedIn for updates.
