    Kinda hypocritical to have a ‘Like us on Facebook’ link in your video description.
    You can’t stop Facebook if you’re the one supporting it.

    Everywhere you go is misinformation. In addition, I don’t trust anything. Because I can’t believe these idiots trust me with their information.

    Zuckerberg is the epitome of Psychopathy: a neuropsychiatric disorder marked by deficient emotional responses, lack of empathy, and poor behavioral controls, commonly resulting in persistent antisocial deviance and criminal behavior.

    Regardless of the new name (which is a bad choice, kinda childish) this is a really bad time to do this with all of the scandals you mentioned. Another horrible move.

    So did anyone noticed how unfunny she is.

    META new company name
    Mark Zuckerberg stupid:
    We know you’re all afraid of Facebook and it’s META-data and FACEBOOK as a brand name… So we’ve decided to change our name to brand name META..

    Talk about saying the soft part loud and the loud parts soft

    But then again that’s liberalism for you

    What if the “whistleblowers” that recently came forward about Facebook corruption were really being paid to reveal this so people would leave “Facebook” and join “META” thinking it was something new and different? Facebook being a step ahead and getting people moved over easily! Now there is a thought! Now if you’ll excuse me I hear some men in black at my door…..

    Where are all the great so called hackers?? They need to shut it down before it starts.

  29. Mike Joints

    October 29, 2021 at 11:17 pm

    Why now??? Because it will be the for ever lock down. Over the plandemic. Also until we fix our Election problems. Fakebook will always own the President of the USA.

    Whistle blower and the papers made it seem to the public that “facebook” has a to play a role to the people in the world 🌎 that is more like the government of the world with digital and physical social concerns.

    Just don’t use their products. They’ll eventually feel the pain. At the end of the day their money primarily comes from ads and selling fingerprinted data to ad companies

    To add to my last point, 2022 is going to be a big year for AR / VR software,
    Apple is adamant that there Augmented Reality product will sell with their Arcade subscription,
    launching a new Apple AR/VR headsets with their MX1 chips inside.
