Meet the new boss….

The twitter files revealed that twitter was comfortable pushing back when they wanted to.

Did you listen to the Zuckerberg interview with Rogan?

"Comfortable" is not a word that applied to the government pressure.

[jon-nyc]

I did, and thought about that when I posted the above. But Zuck has an agenda now, like he did then, and the email exchanges released by twitter files are pretty clear evidence that pushback happened.

[George K]

You're conflating the Twitter Files with Facebook.

Zuckerberg was really clear about the pressure that the Biden administration put on them. And there was not much comfortable pushback from Meta AFAICT.

Perhaps there was at Twitter, but Zuck didn't mention it at his shop.

[jon-nyc]

Again, Zuck had an agenda then, and he has one now. It’s possible that the same authorities that allowed twitter to push back held the line at Facebook, but that doesn’t seem likely.

How are they inconsistent?

Let’s blame corporate greed for high egg prices.

I do not believe supply and demand merits DOJ investigation.

Yeah it’s not like these companies are culling flocks just to be dicks. It’s actually required by the federal government.

For me, it is interesting that the chicken flu is pretty much 100% fatal. Most diseases do not want to be 100% fatal, as that prevents them spreading and continuing to "live".

I guess government policies like mandatory culling make certain avian diseases “100% fatal” to prevent spreading.
