      “In a hyper-partisan environment, even unintentional errors like this can escalate into accusations of partisanship,” he said.

      “If these issues are not resolved quickly they risk fuelling conspiracy theories and damaging Meta’s reputation.”

      While users who type “#Democrat” or “#Democrats” see no results, the hashtag “Republican” returns 3.3 million posts on the social media platform.

      Yeah, no. There are no ‘accusations of partisanship’, there’s straight up blatant partisanship and overt attempts at shaping the narrative and suppressing speech that Der Furher won’t like. There’s no speed short of not implementing it in the first place that would prevent conspiracies from propagating, especially with how hard Fuckerberg is dickriding trump.

      I deleted my Facebook account over a decade ago for good reason, and I’m hopeful that people will (but realistic that they won’t) get off of there. That shit hole needs to burn.
