Mark Zuckerberg's contempt for the law is Trumpian in scale. He should be in jail.

@dangillmor From the Reuters article:
"To advertise on Meta’s platforms, a business has to compete in an online auction. Before the bidding, the company’s automated systems calculate the odds that an advertiser is engaged in fraud. Under Meta’s new policy, likely scammers who fall below Meta’s threshold for removal would have to pay more to win an auction."

The logic of a pimp. Don't stop what you are doing and don't stop them doing what they are doing, just increase your cut.

@dangillmor Ah yes, and what will be the response from Meta?

"We need invest even more Meta-AI ™ to help us filter out these fraudulent advertisers and protect our users better.

Meta-AI ™ is your friend and is here to protect you."

@dangillmor But he won’t as long as DJT is president. And Trump knows that the second he’s no longer president, he’s heading for jail too.

@dangillmor The Zucks' illegal private school looks all the worse when they abruptly pulled the plug on the charity school they funded in nearby East Palo Alto.

@dangillmor

It goes hand in hand with his contempt for other humans. That might be greater than Trumpian in scale and harks back to his college days trying to find ways to exploit others.
