(29,394 posts)What sort of acquaintances did zuck have back then? Ones that could make someone vanish entirely. I’m ignorant of zuck’s upbringing too.

(20,377 posts)...But since Zuck officially ended fact checking on his site, anything goes. Including lies about him.
The real punchline is that 40% of people online say they get their news from Facebook and other social media.

(29,394 posts)It’s getting to the point that nothing can be believed in media - corporate or social. Perhaps that’s the point.

(11,810 posts)The result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth is not that the lie will now be accepted as truth, and truth be defamed as lie, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world - and the category of truth versus falsehood is among the mental means to this end - is being destroyed.

ZUCK: just ask
ZUCK: i have over 4000 emails, pictures, addresses, sns
FRIEND: what!? how’d you manage that one?
ZUCK: people just submitted it
ZUCK: i don’t know why
ZUCK: they “trust me”
ZUCK: dumb fucks
In the intervening years, I’ve learned that Zuckerberg values his own privacy so much that he has security guards watching his trash, that he bought four houses surrounding his own house to avoid having neighbors, that he sued hundreds of Hawaiians to sever their claim to tiny plots of land within his massive Kauai estate, and that he secretly built tools to prevent further private messages from coming back to haunt him.
What I haven’t learned, or seen any sign of, is that he has changed his opinion of the intelligence of his users. It’s Zuckerberg’s world, and we’re all just a bunch of dumb fucks living in it.

Chris Hughes grew up in small town North Carolina before heading off to Phillips Academy and then Harvard. He met Facebook co-founders Mark Zuckerberg and Dustin Moskovitz as a freshman at the Ivy League school, and joined the startup as its spokesperson. Internally nicknamed "the Empath," Hughes, who studied history and literature, focused on the site's functionality and user-friendliness instead of coding. In 2007, he left a growing Facebook to join then-senator Barack Obama's presidential campaign as the Director of Online Organizing. He spearheaded my.barackobama.com, a popular social media site for supporters. In 2012, Hughes bought a majority stake in the New Republic, a progressive-leaning magazine that focuses on politics and culture. His attempt to revamp the publication led to mass resignations across the newsroom, and he ultimately sold the magazine in 2016 after years of financial losses. Read Less
Hughes founded a social network for nonprofits called Jumo in 2010 and sold it one year later to publishing company Good. He then purchased the New Republic for $5 million in 2012 and invested another $20 million in the magazine before selling it in 2016. Since then, Hughes has been leading the fight against Facebook while supporting his universal basic income think-tank, Economic Security Project.

(8,563 posts)social media incessantly with tons of claims about horrible things these mega billionaires do both personally and in business. Go on quarterly earnings conference calls and ask about allegations of accounting fraud for example. Do everything possible to harm them.

(8,563 posts)can be said with impunity so if someone wants to say Tesla, by extension, is successful due to the blood sacrifice of children it should be perfectly fine. If He of Foul Odor wishes to publish a denial that's fine and they also set the rule that takes care of it and there is to be no legal action. Their rules. Hope they like them.
