Michigan sues Facebook

Post by sinklair » Fri Dec 11, 2020 8:39 am

Michigan joined practically every other US state to sue Facebook over being a monopoly.

I still find it confounding that every TV station continues to give away its journalism for free, propping up big tech companies like Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc.

Media organizations need to do what’s right and stop using these platforms immediately. We still have websites and other digital platforms like streaming TV/OTT/STIRR to connect with viewers without putting more money into the pockets of Mark Zuckerberg.

The "media organizations" and their "talent" won't stop using these platforms. They are in bed with them.

As Ricky Gervais aptly pointed out at a recent awards show...:
Ricky Gervais wrote: Apple roared into the TV game with “The Morning Show,” a superb drama about the importance of dignity and doing the right thing—made by a company that runs sweatshops in China.

So, you say you’re “woke,” but the companies you work for, Apple, Amazon, Disney … If ISIS had a streaming service, you would be calling your agents.

Shocking as it may seem, I have to agree with you on this one.
I agree with him too, but there's no way I see it happening!

Facebook shouldn't have bought IG why did the government approve that deal about a decade ago. I'm quite surprised that both sides want to disband Google, FB, Twitter, etc has hell frozen over?

There used to be sites named Friendster and MyFamily.com, but they are both gone now. These did essentially the same thing as Facebook, but in different ways.
