No one wants them to begin with… permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Babalugats@feddit.uk 11 points 1 year ago* (2 children) The government parties do. That's who they're targeting with this 'news'. Any government party seen bending to the metatwats can fuck off too. But unfortunately they really want the exposure to show the kids how hip they are. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) The government parties do.

"Your laws stop us from marketing you u to the masses" Fuck 'em. I hope I live to watch meta crumble to shit and everything like it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] kautau@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* "No one" They don't give a shit what their users want. Their users are part of the product they sell. Their customers are their advertisers. This is bad news for political advertisers and their investors, both of whom absolutely want political advertising on the platform. This is a good thing. It would be a much better thing if people would just stop using Meta products altogether permalink fedilink source parent
