    Mark Zuckerberg and his family's security are apparently worth several million per month but Facebook is more than happy to throw marginalized people's lives under the bus on a daily basis.

    I’ll call it cancel culture trope 9: Encyclopedia Problematica. There is a parallel between “diet Nazi” Internet (8chan/ED/KF doxxers) and Twitter wokescolds in this tactic of anthologizing a person’s entire history of misdeeds & embarrassments, and weaponizing it to harass them.

    I mean my real answer is cause it’s a Potemkin Supreme Court that’s mostly about providing PR cover for FB and not about seriously mitigating the harms of FB?

    Wish I were surprised.

    Confirmed from a WH official on refugee cap: President Biden will keep the refugee cap number at 15,000. He is going to be changing the regional allocation of those refugees. Note: This is Biden is walking back an earlier pledge to welcome more than 60,000 refugees into the U.S.

    How about we charge people more for not wearing a mask than we do for not paying fare? A mask is ~88€, fare is minimum 3€. Logic. Yes, I know different people make the rules.

    True, and yet, how fair is it for European countries to protect their citizens from a potentially risky vaccine that will then be given to the global south?

    “AstraZeneca is the workhorse, the backbone of Covax. If people turn away from it, that’s horrible and very dangerous for the global plan.”

    The posters may have been put up by extreme right racists, but in Denmark, this is official policy. Says much about the ugly face of Danish society when the extreme right mirrors government policy. They’re not even ashamed about it.

    The poster says: "Good news - You can now return to sunny Syria - Your country needs you". These were put in today by extreme right activists. Don't we all know by now that Syrians will NOT return home but to 's torture state! STOP IT!

    I was AP English and Honors history and excelled at music and writing and languages and a guidance counselor told me to go to the military or trade school because I failed math every year. And I just wrote a nearly-sold-out book.

    I was "bad at math" despite being an AP student for every other subject, and hanging out in the command line before it was cool. Turns out I have mild dyscalculia and also, I run , which is not just a lot of STEM but also one of the world's most popular tech platforms.

    Reminder: This is the 4th richest country in the world, a democracy at the heart of Europe, finding ever new ways of making the wrong pandemic choices even when the right choices are obvious, known, and proven by both science and experience.

    Ultimately this shows the tensions in moderating something so big as IG. What convos like these miss is that kids have as much a right to being on IG as those who share nudity, sexuality or other “borderline” content for FB. For now, the rights of the latter have been overlooked.

    Mark Zuckerberg is urged to scrap plans for an Instagram for children. (!!!?)
