Yes, I remember this debacle. It’s so gross and disgusting. And the only lesson Meta will likely learn is to iterate and do it again but mildly different — and try harder not to get caught. That tends to be their pattern. It’s not like they didn’t know what they did, it just took public shaming for them to take the profiles down.

I’ve been dialing back my Meta usage since Zuckerberg announced he was allowing hate speech back on their platforms. I’ve set my Instagram and Threads to private and stopped using them. Facebook is trickier because I’m connected with family and IRL peeps. But I’m dialing back on Messenger and have set Facebook to private as well. I suspect I may delete my profiles in the future.
