The viewership metrics were inflated by 150 to 900%. Whole companies shifted their strategy to video. Companies going bankrupt, people losing jobs, FB gets away with 0.18% of annual income ($40M / $22B), a slap on the wrist.

When a private citizen can pay $44 billion for a media company — “the world’s town square” — and both crash the civility of the discourse and incinerate 17 years of brand equity within 10 months …. we have too much concentration of wealth in the hands of too few.

There is no data, or study (anywhere) linking teen depression to presence of trans kids.
This mocks a serious issue, and reinforces a GOP theme of demonizing our most vulnerable.
The opposite of leadership.
Nikki Haley discussing trans girls in kids sports: "How are we supposed to get our girls used to the fact that biological boys are in their locker room. And then we wonder why a third of our teenage girls seriously contemplated suicide last year."

Facebook has repeatedly given incorrect data on viewership and shares. They called the issue “miscalculated metrics.”

Origin of the term "hangover" — the Victorian "penny hang," cheapest overnight stay, if too wasted to be accepted elsewhere. For a penny you'd be allowed to hang over a rope (usually shoulder height). At 6am, owner unties the rope for a rude awakening.
