THREAD: Today, Facebook announced its new efforts to address the problem of Groups. But its track record on the issue leaves much to be desired.

Over the past year, the Groups feature has been used to organize violence, share bomb making instructions, and recruit militia.
First, let's remember that less than two years ago at its annual F8 summit, Facebook announced that it would be pivoting to make the Groups feature a central part of the platform.

Trying to sort through how we catalog #lies and #brokenpromises from @JoeBiden, our demented and lamentable @POTUS46.
When he promised not to ban fracking, and that was repeated by EVERY LAPDANCE MEDIA outlet -- @MSNBC, @CNN, @FoxNews , @CNBC, @FoxBusiness, @washingtonpost, @nytimes, @AP -- is that just one lie?

Or is each separate instance of that lie being repeated its own separate lie?
I mean, we all think some lies are okay, the sort of social lubrications we drop like dander:

The dinner was delicious
Chartreuse suits you so well
Biden's accomplishment-laden life.

But serious lies are different and dangerous. And, I think, fully justify being overcounted.
