Maybe facebook should be responsible for the monetary damages they create on society. + fines for negligence.
He’s victim of fake ads that impersonate him. Does he intend to sue Facebook and the ads creators? He has the means to hire a lawyer.
Facebook and Mark Z have no shame, and users don’t care enough to leave, so speaking up is not enough to make Facebook behave.
For fucks sake the general public DOES NOT NEED social media.
Than why are you here?

Meta: ‘We sell scammers shovels’
After all, gotta show solidarity with your peers.
Are normal people still on FB? I thought it would be all conservatives by now. If only conservatives are getting ripped off, then no harm done. I only care if actual humans are being harmed.
It is not a good idea to dehumanize anyone. Conservatives are human too, they just have different worldviews from yours. Besides, all sorts of people are still on FB, unfortunately.
Yeah, I really shouldn’t dehumanize the fascists who want me to die in a concentration camp. I should be polite to them and turn the other cheek just as I have been doing for the past 50 years of my life. What could possibly go wrong?
I also despise the concentration camps and people who like the idea of putting other people there for reasons such as skin color and/or place of birth. I still do not think that it’s a good idea to dehumanize them. They are humans.
And also people on FB, people who define themselves as conservatives and people who want you to die in a concentration camp are three very different groups of people.
I appreciate your kindness. I am at war with my enemy. I will not humanize an enemy that will absolutely never humanize me. I won’t expect you to fully understand or to ever participate.
I strongly suspect you and I have vastly different experiences with my enemy and will choose very different paths in life because of it. I will note your advice and respect you for being a kind person.
It’s really useful for local groups and events.
The fact that something like Facebook exists without public oversight or control is absolutely insane … if your national public rely heavily on one source for the majority of the information and communication, what do you think is going to happen? Is like saying that there is only one company that owns every newspaper across the country and they are allowed to self regulate themselves.
It’s like Joseph Goebbels said about media and communications ‘Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.’
Except this time, we’ve allowed multinational corporations at the keyboard to play the music that we all dance to
As someone that had an elderly mother that was scammed multiple times because of sinister bullshit like this, Facebook can’t burn to the ground fast enough, and fuckface Zuck needs to swing from the gallows.
Is Mark Cuban a good guy? Or just a less evil billionaire?
his his drug site, saves alot money for those who need most expensive drugs.
I think he really just works more on his PR
Just less evil. There is no way to ethically acquire that amount of money. Most people don’t truly understand how much money $1 billion USD actually is. And the only way to achieve it is to exploit others, make money off of investing in the exploitation, etc.
Read his Wikipedia page. I think you’ll come to find he really is a rare good guy. No evidence I see of making his $$ off the backs of slave-wage labor.
Doesn’t matter. There is no amount of work or contribution to society a single person could perform in a single lifetime that would be worth anywhere near $1 billion. Maybe it was another person or company who did the exploitation itself, but he knowingly profited from that.
If you follow the NBA you’ll know the storied history of the behaviour of staff for the Dallas Mavericks. I’m not saying he’s 100% to blame, but he owned them at the time.
i wouldnt call his drug site exploiting at all, look into his past history on wiki.
But that’s not how he got his billions, and he’s not contributing anything back really, he’s just accepting a little less profit than he could. A serial killer with human body part trophies in their basement doesn’t suddenly become a good person if they save a cat from a tree.
He made a website that yahoo bought during the dot com boom for $5 billion.
And then hoarded billions for a couple decades?
Right, and yahoo exploited people to get that money. Are you saying that his work on that site was more of a contribution to society than the entire lifetimes of thousands of tech workers, a few of which probably actually designed and built the site?
Okay but did he personally exploit those people? The people had already been exploited for their billions when Yahoo gave it to him.
Technically you also can’t buy food without exploitation, nor retire. And it’s not even unique to capitalism either, socialism also exploits people for others’ sake, the only thing that changes is the number of beneficiaries.
Really, you can’t have a society without exploitation.
That’s totally disingenuous. The scale is totally different. Removing enough money for tens or hundreds of thousands people to have comfortable lives with maybe a year or two of forcing others to overwork themselves for your vision and then not only hoarding it for the rest of your life, but using it to fund further exploitation by “investing” that money in those exploitative companies to exploit more and more. Comparing that to wanting to survive and being forced to purchase food and shelter using money you spent your entire lifetime overworking for from those exploitative companies is a totally different thing in so, so many ways.
only for yahoo getting shriveled into nothing after a google exec was a control in 2010s.
Less evil. This is his work, arguably more than the others have done: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_Plus_Drugs
