Pew research: Grifters more optimistic about grift than the general public being unwillingly grifted. "For example, the #AI experts we surveyed are far more likely than Americans overall to believe AI will have a very or somewhat positive impact on the United States over the next 20 years (56% vs. 17%).

And while 47% of experts surveyed say they are more excited than concerned...that share drops to 11% among the public."

Meta ditched fact-checking while the EU sharpened its enforcement of the Digital Services Act. Zuckerberg’s response? Lobbying Trump to shield Big Tech from accountability. Profits over truth, politics over people—how long can this toxic cycle continue? #RegulateBigTech https://buff.ly/3PG8tYh

Meta's decision to ditch fact-checkers is already fuelling radicalization among older Facebook users in the UK. Zuckerberg's 'nothing in moderation' policy prioritizes profit over democracy, leaving society to deal with the fallout of unfiltered misinformation. #RegulateBigTech https://buff.ly/3WgTQhM

"Say what you will about the legions of Elon Musk acolytes on X, but if an industry and its executives can bring together the likes of Elizabeth Warren and Lindsey Graham in shared condemnation, it’s definitely not winning many popularity contests."

When big tech has to apologize because its ad "missed the mark" for being a little too honest about its plans to dehumanize creativity and flatten our culture into some dumb thing it can systemically commodify. #apple #regulatebigtech #creativity #culture https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/9/24153113/apple-ipad-ad-crushing-apology

"We did not vote for or acquiesce to this system. It was foisted upon us by #Zuckerberg's “move fast and break things” ethos and the failure to prevent the vast consolidation of power in a handful of Big Tech firms, whose insatiable quest for “permissionless innovation” has come at great cost."
