    But they literally cannot moderate their platform

    They can, but doing so will affect profits. They used to outsource moderation to Kenyans, who got paid in pennies. Sama, the company doing said “moderation”, apparently stopped offering that kind of work.

    Worth noting: FB and fuckzuck knew that moderation would be a problem for a big platform with millions of daily users. They didn’t care back in 2012, they don’t care now. “Not our problem”, for all intents and purposes, just like their nonexistant customer support.

    In the corporate world, profits are always more important than safety, health and other civilian nonsense. Last I checked instagram via the app, I saw 3 ads for obvious pyramid schemes, not too different from my previous check in 2023. Hey, scammers are paying for ad space, why should zuck care?
