“Such speech may be offensive to many, but it is not Meta’s role to police offensiveness” what???
What even are their policies and community guidelines for? Just publicity. Or as a tool in other cases. Corrupt liars.
Rich people and people in charge (see: police, their kids, even local politicians) don’t have to follow rules, especially rules they wrote. They think that their motives are always justified/pure/exceptional, and so the rules don’t need to apply to them.
META’s job is to get people to click and comment. It’s all marketing that I walked away from years ago.
:sigh: I hate when people just tell outright lies for clicks.
Did bad people get money from Meta? Yes.
Did Meta actively pay bad people to post bad content? NO. This is like saying that Youtube had hired people to post AI videos targeting children because they pay people part of the advertising they sell on videos. It is not the same thing at all.
If a Walmart employee beats you up while they’re on the clock, these twits would post “WALMART HIRED AND PAID PEOPLE TO BEAT INNOCENT PEOPLE UP”.
Am I saying Meta is great? No1 Fuck you no! But is this headline bullshit? YES IT IS.
Man, this really isn’t the future I was picturing when I was growing up, but here we are.
“The Internet of the future will be amazing! People will use it to voluntarily enrich their minds, and freedom and peace will reign!”
Actually: Nazis
Hey now, it isn’t only Nazis…
It’s also an overwhelmingly vast amount of CSAM…
This is something I struggle to accept every day of my life.
Between this, Cambridge Analytica, and the overall enshittification of society it has brought, can Meta be fucking dissolved already? Or would that be too harmful to the global dopamine hit supply?
The best kind of content for engagement is hate. You get users angrily defending both sides, stacks of comments, reposts (both in support of, and "OMG look at what they’re saying), the whole shebang.
Meta has learned that promotion of hate content pays off handsomely on those sweet sweet engagement metrics that shareholders love.
So of course they’re going to pay the hatemongers for content. Even when their own content policies ostensibly forbid it. Because that’s what makes line go up and they’ll do anything to keep that happening.
Underscoring how much Meta has dropped the ball on this one, even X — owned by Elon Musk, who performed two suspiciously Sieg Heil-looking salutes back in 2025 — has banned The Noticer for violating its “hateful profile policy.”
Not just Nazis but Nazis that make other Nazis squeamish.
Now That Is What I Call A Headline
These pages and individual creators posted content that appeared to be in clear violation of Facebook’s own hate speech policies. Nonetheless, they were able to earn money on their posts through the platform’s “Content Monetization” program — which is invitation-only.
Meta should’ve been under no illusions about who they were paying to drive engagement on the platform.
Yet I’m sure that’s exactly what they claim. [insert South Park BP Oil Sorry meme]
BTW:
Facebook’s monetization program can be quite lucrative, though it’s unclear how much each of these pages made individually. In 2025, Facebook doled out nearly $3 billion to 16 million accounts, the reporting notes. The platform periodically discloses data on these monetized accounts, which has been collated into a searchable database by the tech accountability non-profit What to Fix.
Yes, my master.
Oh that’s the actual headline lol.
I thought it would be like they paid some people with some ties to fascist groups but some plausible deniability…
But no. Full mask off.
“Hugo Lennon … believed to be one of the organizers behind an “anti-immigration” march on a sacred Indigenous site in the city last year.”
MFW talking to anyone in my red state
Yeah… they’re that stupidly-malicious
As if it wasn’t obvious enough that nazi posters have special protected status on social media platforms. The report buttons do nothing against them.
That’s crazy talk. The report buttons work exactly as intended for racist accounts. Every time someone reports them they make 50 cents.
Nazism have gotten a deliberate revival in the western information sphere.
We had the same celebration of Nazi c*nts in Canada, where Trudeau pulled out an old Ukrainian Nazi, and let him be paraded in their parliamentarian chambers - together with Zelensky oc.
If we go further back, we see that a throng of nazi’s from old Germany/Europe was saved/relocated and protected by the Western psycho Oligarchy, that was just waiting to trigger them again later.
We even see that many of the current unelected top EU elite have families that have close connections to this archaic and disgusting ideology, through parents, or grandparents.
We see techlords that have WAY to close connections, and families that openly express similar attitudes.
What is especially interesting, is that the situation in Ukraine was escalated by US through local Nazi groups that were also nurtured since 1990’ies by the US/CIA, and we see how Ukraine is controlled by Nazi groups today (they all have Bandera and Nazi signs everywhere and their nazi groups vocally confirms it despite being told to hide it now).
My bet is that Meta worked closely with US oligarchy, to manipulate the western population towards accepting nazi attitudes, as something more normal, and hopefully for them, nurture a new breed of nationalists ready to kill others for the Zuck and the Epsteins…
