Wow, either I missed that or forgot about it and no one has ever corrected me saying Facebook.

The Trump administration must bring Zuckerberg to heel for their censorship of facts and opinion he does not like.

I wish they would revert back to the old interface. I hate the way it’s set up now.

Zuckerberg’s a CIA asset. He could never have built a multi billion dollar business on his own. Now that he lost that, he’s just flailing around trying to figure out how to make money besides deteriorating ad revenues.

Meta is a joke.

He owns over 13% of the stock but has over 50% of the voting shares. He can do whatever he wants.
