Just a PR move to bury the revelation that FB, more than Parler, was the organisational platform for the 6 Jan insurrection. In cases like this, Zuck only does the right thing years too late, when it confers some short-term advantage.

Good for them. I still won’t use any of their services.

Better late than never I guess. Hopefully Twitter will add it to the things you can report.

Well this is me awaiting developments:
but seriously, apart from the unparalleled sliminess of Creepbook, this is a serious problem. Wide boys such as those have proven themselves VERY good at pushing boundaries and exploiting blind spots, aided in this by the general creakiness of normal institutions. Lawmakers have been reeling/sleeping for a decade or more, and we have seen what can happen in such a void.
Dare we hope for a better future in the social media sphere? Sounding pretty creaky myself today…

Silly me, I thought they had already started doing this around 1976.
That’s like taking a stand against the Axis powers a year after Pearl Harbor.

Is this their second PR cycle of banning anti-vaxxers? I could swear that we already went through a cycle of breathless media coverage regarding FB shutting down anti-vaxxers?
