Facebook/Meta's new censorship scheme: a twitter competitor that will be "sanely run."

 If it's as "sanely run" as FB then more corporate censorship and kowtowing to the government will be the order of the day.

"Meta is talking to celebrities like Oprah and the Dalai Lama about being early users. ‘We’ve been hearing from creators and public figures who are interested in having a platform that is sanely run,’ a top exec told employees."

This is what Instagram’s upcoming Twitter competitor looks like

Meta is talking to celebrities like Oprah and the Dalai Lama about being early users. ‘We’ve been hearing from creators and public figures who are interested in having a platform that is sanely run,’ a top exec told employees.


We already know Facebook's history of violating the First Amendment by kowtowing to the FBI in censorship generally and the Hunter Biden laptop scam particularly. Is it remotely realistic to believe that a similar effort will not take place with FB's new twitter rip-off? (We also know Zuckerberg spent $400 million to make sure the vote came out the way he wanted it. Amazing, eh?) Talk about manipulation.
