Not to have to pay 11,000 means more money going into top execs pockets

Whatever are you going to do now that Facebook and Twitter will not be censoring conservatives? You guys are so screwed

So will the government be halting running ads on Facebook like they did on twitter? Or was that purely based on the platform's owner's perceived political views?

Facebook is archaic and it has hit its peak of success years ago. It's going to die out like Myspace did. Unless VR becomes cheaper - It's okay to take the money and move on to a new social media project.

Not surprised. With Elon admitting the amount of money Twitter loses each month it is not surprising other 'social media' companies are in the same boat.

Remember when Twitter did the same thing last week and everyone lost their mind....

Who cares

Bring down the wall!!!

Great news I hope Facebook goes down the toilet where it belongs

Just weeks after our economical experts announced that we had job surplus!

gmacofglebe The rise of TikTok. That is really the source of Meta's decline right now.

Thats a good start, hopefully the CBC follows suit.

you did bash Musk when he did he's.

Good !! I actually hope zuck loses 95% of his personal wealth

Nothing good ever came out of Facebook

Sweet I can literally become the Real Bombay Rayne ... Pakistani meg plz aka Thesis aka the thesis of my madness

But when twitter did it, you bashed Musk for firing people

Big Tech is in freefall. 90s dot-com bubble vibes.
