Mark Zuckerberg building underground infrastructure on Kauai (Hawaii) checks out... here are some Satellite images of his operation.
You can see on the left of the second image, there is a ton of heavy duty equipment on site, heaps of vehicles and all sorts of tents to hide what he is digging up building. What a bizarre situation going on in beautiful north shore Kauai

A common refrain from anti-anonymity #Facebook apologists is that its #RealNamesPolicy promoted "civility" by making users "accountable" for their words. In this conception, snuffing out anonymous speech is key to protecting "the vulnerable" from trolls and other bad actors. 1/

‼️#Facebook programmed its algorithm that decides what people see in their news feeds to push content likely to make them ANGRY, treating ANGRY emoji reactions 5x more valuable than “likes.”
Anger kept users more engaged, making #Facebook more money.🤬

#Facebook’s researchers warned that favoring “controversial” posts—including those making users angry—could open “the door to more spam/abuse/clickbait.”
2 yrs later, posts that sparked ANGRY reaction emoji were more likely to have disinformation, toxicity and low-quality news🙄

Two years ago Zuck told @karaswisher “I’m Jewish, and there’s a set of people who deny that the Holocaust happened. I find that deeply offensive. But at the end of the day, I don’t believe that our platform should take that down because I think there are things that different..."
On Monday, #Zuckerberg said his thoughts on holocaust denial had changed "with rising anti-Semitism, we're expanding our policy to prohibit any content that denies or distorts the Holocaust.”
#Zuck says "I've struggled with the tension between standing for free expression and the harm caused by minimizing or denying the horror of the Holocaust.”
