Stop. Please. Retweeting and dunking still serves to distract. Here is the reality - their market power and abuse were already evident before we saw evidence they knew about the harms. That includes January 6th insurrection and this highly questionable testimony this morning. 1/2
Global press is shining sunlight on how they serve to promote and accelerated the spread of harms. It’s critically important to focus on market power otherwise as in the past they’ll not be able to speak to the harms months later. /2
According to this evidence, Facebook put 4% of its profits towards safety and security. That’s $13B in five years compared to $275 Billion in profits. And that’s advertisers knowingly funding a platform that causes these harms. /3
I thought @MrJohnNicolson said it best. Paraphrasing. Facebook only reacts when it has financial risk or a *significant* public relations scandal. /eof
