A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

For Facebook specifically, they've constantly been in the crosshairs of government regulators for (amongst other things) anti-competitive practices, privacy violations and so on (and that list only goes to October 2021).

Up to now they've escaped any serious consequences for their many violations of the law, broken regulations, and ignored consent decrees, and thus have been allowed to grow unchecked as a result. Simply enforcing the laws as written back in the day would have helped. Now? I have no idea. Legal enforcement will not be coming any time soon.
