Meta is banning discussion of the 'Network State' concept; a Silicon Valley Oligarch-funded idea to replace American democracy with corporate government.

The real title:

"Meta rep flagged 'critiques of tech industry figures' as 'sensitive or controversial content'"

Guess we can consider that a confession.

Zuckerberg, go play with your BBS and let us worry about what needs to be discussed in this myopic, dystopic world.

any terminally ill people down to go down in history as a fucking chad with a rifle or a drone?? anyone??

To be fair, American democracy was replaced with corporate Government a long long time ago.

Reddit is shadow banning people like crazy as well. This is scary

Shut down and delete your data on your US tech accounts. Their business's are worthless without our accounts.

It's a process, start today! With the easy ones and work towards the hard ones.

Thats a weird way of saying fascism

fuck facebook

Wait, corporate government, like in cyberpunk?

Quit Meta... problem solved

Welcome to Facebook the capital of Meta country, jokes aside, they are banning because it's a long term thing and they are scared of it derailing if too many people know.

Everyone needs to GTFO facebook. We can hardly do it because every other HOA and School PTA is there, but we get stop using messenger and stop having personal discussions over there.

And the fuck up samurai, we have new CEOs to [redacted]

WATCH THIS IF YOURE NOT SURE WHAT HES BANNING THE DISCUSSION OF

It's terrifying

That makes sense. I bet lobbyist play a big roll into that. Is it the lobbyists jobs that are bad or the way and the people who take the jobs are bad?

Delay, Deny, [redacted]

I've been reading a little about this concept and can't see how it would work in reality. Sure, the Feds could "set aside" some land for one of these assholes to set up a new city. But that area would still be under the concurrent jurisdiction of a state and county. And not even the Feds can exempt a city from a state's regulatory environment. In fact most of the things these billionaires are trying to get away from (labor laws, building codes, etc) are state regulations in the first place.

Frankly no billionaire is going to want to live in the middle of South Dakota, no matter how "free" it supposedly is.

Next Reddit will start banning you for upvoting anything about it.

Please share this document far and wide. People need to understand what's going on, to stop it.

I had never heard about the "Network State" concept before, but now I hate it, because Zuckerberg sure as hell loves it

This man has a bunker and everything. He's scared shitless and he is ready to hide. Their assets need to be seized and accounts drained

Streisand effect: I had never heard of the “network state” until now. Uh, thanks for being such an asshole, Zuck!

Pay no attention to the fascist behind the curtain.

Fucking shit article.

Different network state to Bilajis? Since that was always opt in afaik.

From the website from the book.

A network state is a highly aligned online community with a capacity for collective action that crowdfunds territory around the world and eventually gains diplomatic recognition from pre-existing states.

Seems like zuck trying to take the Name again like he came up with it, eg Meta.

Networks are opt in, just like meta product's.

Pay no attention to the man-child behind the curtain.

Of course they are. They'll ban discussion of democracy next, and then voting.

Corporations can't even run corporations well. That's one of the lessons we should've took from 2008.

We are already living in a country being run by Elon Musk.

Delete your facebook products.

If you know someone who works at facebook, try to convince them to leave.

If you see someone who's in a leadership position at Facebook bleeding out, perhaps after a car accident because their brakes were sabotaged, let them die.

The Network State is just feudalism updated to accommodate a new set of vile and toxic elitist shitheads.

They are afraid

Just another reason to abandon social networks owned by big tech companies and moving to decentralized open source social networks.

I'm curious what people think of the author, Taylor Lorenz? I noticed I have her blocked on some social media and couldn't remember why. I searched a little and found she had referred to Biden as a war criminal on WaPo, just prior to the election. Probably when I started blocking everything I didn't think was generative in terms of news. I still think it's a shit-take but am wondering if I'm just being thin-skinned? Is she a decent writer? Should we be following her? This is definitely an important story to follow. Anyhow, I have moved onto getting my stories from rss readers and some social media, no paid subscriptions to legacy MSM. So, scrutinizing individual writers becomes more critical.

Hrmm. I wonder why they would censor such a conspiratorial idea? Unless...

Really liked the article.

Let him continue live inside the metaverse

This wicked man has to be boycotted, destroyed economically.

Preventing cheating in elections is impossible (LoOk aT 2020!!!11), so to ensure a fair democratic process, we'll automatically choose the outcome of elections with AI models trained on American social media posts.

I am just hearing the end of 2112 by Rush, the guitars and effects wailing as a vocoded voice repeats 'WE HAVE ASSUMED CONTROL'...

I thought these tech guys all believed in 1Aand free speech?
