Y'all Facebook is shit, but let's maybe not pretend the current worst dude alive, Putin, is doing this for anything other than censorship and population control yeah?
Other countries should designate META as a terrorist organization because it doesn't ban LGBTQ content and criticism of the war in ukraine?
Not for the same reason obviously…….
You even agree here, wtf is going on lmao. Are you 2 completely different people using the same account?
If I'm not mistaken, now any person who has account on FB can be considered as terrorist in Russia (because technically that person is part of "terrorist" group).

I'm going to be the last entity Russia declares a terrorist.
Thanks for the flashbacks to gym class, Russia :(

good thing Meta has you to speak up for em. keep up the good work!
Equating them with terrorists is insane. They're a platform which has made tons of mistakes not wantonly killing people for political ends.
It's not about speaking up for them it's how badly peoples brains are broken that words have no meaning anymore. Just quick unthinking hot takes (albeit facebook largely played a part in this)
It's not about speaking up for Meta. It's about Putin castigating one of the most prevalent resources to share information. Russia never had a problem with MEta when they were using it to push misinformation, but now that people are showing Russia's weakness, it has to go.

Facebook has indeed enabled genocide, political coverups by violent tyrants, is a well-established arm of unconstitutional surveillance against both Americans and foreign people around the world in the interests of political goals, and much more. Maybe you just aren't aware, or this does not meet the arbitrary level of wanton-ness to your personal definition of extremism/terrorism, but it's not really insane to think of them this way. There is a reason so many of us refuse to support them or their products.
Like a poster above said, Russia is clearly spinning things for the wrong reasons, but they aren't exactly wrong about Facebook being evil
Facebook/Meta has been a plague on the internet and Putin has been a plague on mankind. A good deed is a good deed, but I'll never respect or trust that company.
I thought it was somewhat common knowledge on how Facebook is complicit in various genocides (UN even called them out for Myanmar ) because it makes them money.
Obviously they're not literally terrorists and nobody believes Russia is doing that for any good reason, but they deserve harsher treatment from governments. Profiting from genocide isn't just a mistake

fair points, I rescind my message
Facebook has very much been a tool and somewhat complicit in genocide, yes:

Most on the nose article I could find, but there's plenty out there on Myanmar specifically.
I can't find it now but the Bellingcat stuff on Myanmar is eye opening.
Facebook’s meta complicity in the Rohingya genocide - ABC Religion & Ethics
Facebook is facing twin legal actions for its instrumental role in accelerating racial violence and genocide against the Rohingya Muslim minority in Myanmar over the past decade. Filings in California and London present an extraordinary story of recklessness, enablement, and negligence. This...
