Liam @its-liam.bsky.social · 08/01/2025What is the mechanism by which the US 2024 presidential election changed facebooks moderation policy? Some ideas: 1. The election revealed new information to FB about US public opinion. This seems to be FBs party line and I don't buy it for a second. Surely they have direct access to sentiment info 100
Liam @its-liam.bsky.social · 08/01/20252. Some kind of mechanism of direct control. I've seem claims on this site that there's overlap between FB policy setters and project 2025 authors. Seems possible and easy to verify 100
Liam @its-liam.bsky.social · 08/01/20253. Expectations of incentives (financial sanctions, financial subsidies, antitrust action, other forms of favor) by the Trump admin toward FB based on their choice of moderation policy. I sort of think this is why? Kind of obviously? 100
