FUCK YOU, ZUCKERBERG…

You spineless, Cheeto-mushroom-gobbling, knee-bending, anemic zombiedroid, hypocritical, scared, little ass-kissing, greedy fuck. Let’s not pretend you’re anything more than a glorified tech parasite who happened to hit the lottery by taking a college networking idea—one that wasn’t even entirely yours—and turning it into a platform that metastasized into a social cancer. You rode the coattails of a lucky break and daddy’s financial cushion, mistaking this fortuitous alignment of stars as some kind of testament to your intelligence or value to society. Spoiler alert: it’s not.

Let’s get one thing clear, Mark. You are not a genius. You are not an innovator. You are not some great architect of the digital age. You’re a mediocre coder with the social grace of a damp napkin who got lucky enough to stumble onto a half-decent idea at the right time. Facebook succeeded because of timing, not brilliance. It succeeded because people were eager for connection in an increasingly online world—not because you’re the next coming of Einstein. And now, as the steward of what could have been a tool for empowerment and education, you’ve reduced it to a cesspool of misinformation, hate, and mind-numbing drivel, all in the name of shareholder value.

But today’s move? Today, you reached a new level of pathetic. Dismantling fact-checking on Facebook and Instagram under the guise of “free expression”? Are you fucking serious? Fact-checking on your platforms was already a joke—a performative, too-little-too-late Band-Aid slapped on a gaping wound of misinformation. But at least it was something. Now you’ve decided even that was too much effort because—let’s be honest—you’re scared. Scared of losing ad revenue. Scared of pissing off the MAGA crowd. Scared of Elon Musk, Trump, and the legion of anti-intellectual sycophants who’ve been barking about “censorship” while they spread lies faster than wildfire.

Let’s not forget, you initially had the balls to stand up to Trump. Remember when Facebook banned him after January 6th? You made a big show of pretending to care about democracy and accountability. And yet, here you are, rolling out the red carpet for the same demagogue and his cronies because you’re terrified of losing relevance. You’ve bent the knee just like Musk—a man so desperate for approval he turned Twitter into a farcical echo chamber for his own fragile ego. You’re no better, Mark. You’ve just done it with a slightly more polished veneer of “corporate responsibility.” But don’t think for a second that we don’t see through it.

What’s particularly infuriating is the sheer audacity with which you and your ilk—Musk, Bezos, Thiel, all of you wannabe philosopher-kings of the tech world—pretend your wealth equates to wisdom. As if the money you’ve hoarded and the empires you’ve built by exploiting workers and hijacking public discourse somehow make you qualified to shape society. Newsflash: your billions don’t make you insightful, and your platforms don’t make you indispensable. You’re not architects of the future; you’re caretakers of the prisons you’ve built for yourselves, gilded cages of your own making where your only concern is how to hoard more wealth and power while avoiding accountability.

Let’s talk about accountability, shall we? For years, you’ve enabled the worst aspects of humanity to flourish under the guise of “connecting the world.” Racism, misinformation, political manipulation, mental health crises—you name it, your platforms have amplified it. And every time someone has tried to hold you accountable, you’ve deflected, you’ve gaslit, you’ve hidden behind PR campaigns and hollow promises of reform. Now, you’ve abandoned even the pretense of caring. Stripping away fact-checking is your white flag of surrender to the very forces you once claimed to oppose. It’s a tacit admission that you care only about your bottom line, even if it means letting your platforms rot society from the inside out.

The hypocrisy is staggering. You and Musk and the rest of the tech overlords love to position yourselves as champions of free speech and innovation, but in reality, you’re nothing more than opportunistic cowards. You latch onto whatever ideology is most convenient at the moment—whether it’s pandering to liberals to secure early growth or cozying up to authoritarian populists when the tide turns. It’s not about principles; it’s about survival. You’re chameleons without conviction, mercenaries for profit at the expense of progress.

And let’s not forget the irony of all this. For all your talk of “free expression,” you and your platforms have done more to stifle meaningful discourse than any government ever could. You’ve created echo chambers, monetized outrage, and reduced complex issues to bite-sized headlines designed to enrage rather than inform. Your platforms are not bastions of free speech; they are factories of division, places where truth goes to die and lies are given a megaphone.

So fuck you, Zuckerberg. Fuck you for your cowardice. Fuck you for your greed. Fuck you for pretending to care about the world while doing everything in your power to destroy it. You are not a visionary. You are not a leader. You are a scared little man clinging to relevance in a world that’s increasingly tired of your bullshit. And the sooner your gilded empire crumbles under the weight of its own hypocrisy, the better off we’ll all be.
