Meta Never Cared About "Facts"
Or Much Else for that Matter

Finally, my second blog/post is up on my substack, covering how Meta's new policy removing fact checking is just the latest in a long line of decision that show they really just don't care about anything but growth and profit.
@iwriteok.bsky.social I have been trying to figure this out for months, but what is the tattoo on the back of your hand that's made up of an arrow, (I think) a scythe, and a skull??

Gotta say, if @edzitron.com's book next year is going to be written in even remotely the same tone as Better Offline or his newsletter, it's going to be a great read.

A really important reminder from @iwriteok.bsky.social's new piece from today. We are certainly in danger, but these people are not experts. They're throwing shit at the wall and hoping just as much as any of us. And that gives us a chance.

Some context for this. There are really two kinds of immigration enforcement operations: targeted and worksite.
In targeted operations, ICE DDOs (immigration cops) get lists of targets, track down each person, and go arrest them.
In worksite raids, they burst into a job site and grab people.

The Wall Street Journal says there will be a splashy ICE operation in Chicago on Tuesday.
While the headline is lurid, the actual operation described in the piece (100-200 agents) seems not that unusual for ICE (google Operation Cross-check). Expect a PR blitz, though.

These people don't care about the public and they don't care about anything but profit. They're not even trying to mask it at this point.

1. lack of any accountability in the media for the actual product - nobody really writes about how bad Facebook/Insta is and has been for years
2. lack of regulation
3. monopoly over social media allows them to do this, nowhere else to go
