    Sounds more like the Indian government wanted an apology for Facebook removing a state propaganda video, and added the other apology requirement for PR.

    Earlier on Wednesday, Meta representatives also met IT secretary S Krishnan, who gave them three days to apologise for removing PM Narendra Modi’s video on exam reforms for five hours and for hosting sex abuse content on its platforms.

    One of those things is not like the others

        Oh, they don’t - that’s why they don’t talk about CSAM prevention until they have no other choice. Authoritarianism uses “it’s for the children” to justify their motives, but when something authoritarian can’t be excused (like forcing Facebook to promote their propaganda), then they attach something like this as an excuse.

        i.e. they don’t care, they just know normal people do.

      Admission of guilt, he’s responsible for generating CSAM and should face consequences for his actions

        Billionaires don’t face consequences in the usa. Maybe in Europe or Asia, but not here.

        And especially not under the trump regime.

          It’s the same in Europe and Asia, it’s just their billionaires aren’t celebrities so no one gives a fuck.

    This is the shit that happens when you have a Fail Upwards CEO that cannot be forced out through legal means.

    As a shareholder, you just bleed.

        They can either dump their stock, or find a way to force Zuckerberg out to stop the egregious losses tied directly to his idiotic ventures.

        Force him out, stop the bleeding.

        No, there isn’t a legal mechanism to remove him. But that’s more of a shareholder concern than mine.
