Multiple experts drew comparisons between Meta's recent changes around immigration and what happened in Myanmar in 2017, where Facebook contributed to a genocide by allowing the spread of hate.
Then, The Intercept obtained a leaked document which provided examples of what sort of material would now be allowed on Meta. “Immigrants are grubby, filthy pieces of shit,” “Mexican immigrants are trash!”, and “Migrants are no better than vomit,” are all examples given in the document of allowed statements on Meta. Comparisons to “filth or feces” have now been downgraded from hate speech to a less serious form of “insult,” The Intercept reported.
“ALL behavioral statements (qualified and non-qualified)” are no longer against Meta’s rules, the report said. One example was “These damn immigrants can’t be trusted, they’re all criminals.”
They are not at all exaggerating when they say this is comparable to what they did to help foment genocide in Myanmar.

Musk is loud and dumb so he gets most of the attention for this sort of shit but Zuckerberg seems calculatingly evil.
Should I point out that he’s an immigrant
In what sense? Was he not born in New York
My bad. I was thinking of Musk
True, but Zuckerberg is Jewish and I don’t know that is exactly going to help him either eventually. They can just seize his assets if they want to.
Scary to realize that they will most likely put some of these people in interim camp
