Then, The Intercept obtained a leaked document which provided examples of what sort of material would now be allowed on Meta. “Immigrants are grubby, filthy pieces of shit,” “Mexican immigrants are trash!”, and “Migrants are no better than vomit,” are all examples given in the document of allowed statements on Meta. Comparisons to “filth or feces” have now been downgraded from hate speech to a less serious form of “insult,” The Intercept reported.

“ALL behavioral statements (qualified and non-qualified)” are no longer against Meta’s rules, the report said. One example was “These damn immigrants can’t be trusted, they’re all criminals.”

They are not at all exaggerating when they say this is comparable to what they did to help foment genocide in Myanmar.

Musk is loud and dumb so he gets most of the attention for this sort of shit but Zuckerberg seems calculatingly evil.

[–] geogle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Should I point out that he's an immigrant

[–] Apathy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

In what sense? Was he not born in New York

[–] geogle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

My bad. I was thinking of Musk

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

True, but Zuckerberg is Jewish and I don't know that is exactly going to help him either eventually. They can just seize his assets if they want to.

Ok so, you get pictures of trumps family back when they immigrated over. Pictures of Melina, or however you spell her name. Pictures of leon musk. And you caption them with these phrases.

Extra points for pictures of zucks wife, ted cruze, and that vivek asshole .

I think you'll find that "rules for thee and not for me" is the new order of the day on these social media platforms.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 9 points 2 weeks ago

Before that happens those pics can be spread around a lot though.

[–] Apathy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Scary to realize that they will most likely put some of these people in interim camp

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Mark Zuckerberg is a piece of trash. He is mentally ill. His CEO blood is poisonous to America.

We should just start saying all these things about them. If it's ok to say it about immigrants and gay people.

[–] cybermass@lemmy.ca -2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Okay which is it, is he bringing in a bunch of immigrants or kicking them out??

I just don't understand anymore

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

"Illegals" deported. Food prices increase. Supply rots. The people suffer.

H1-b imported. Tech bros save money. Technocracy.

~~if that's confusing you, maybe you shouldn't be posting~~

(I'm a dick and assumed)

[–] cybermass@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Wow way to be a condescending asshole, I guess people shouldn't ask questions anymore?

That's totally not how we ended up with Trump again, people not asking questions when they are confused.

Guess I'll just assume next time. You fucking asshole.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

My apologies. I assumed.

The phrasing sounded like it was trolling, as if you knew, but were intentionally confusing the situations.

Either way, that's the situation: Brown people out, tech bro visas full steam ahead.

Sorry for being an asshole.
