Meta’s $200b-$1 trillion lawsuit could change social media forever

Update of 8/26/2026: Meta settles for $18 billion in lawsuit brought by 29 states over social media harms to children Good news! Looks like Zuckerberg got away cheaply or by how much were the plaintiffs claims were substantially inflated?

This seems to be more of a government shakedown and it reeks of government paternalism!

Other, Western countries have implemented stupid social media bans for children!

Meta will have a very tough stand to defend against so much government power and the claim it is harmful to children.

What about e.g. the responsibility of parents?

"Thirty US states are suing Meta for over $1 trillion, accusing it of knowingly designing Instagram and Facebook to be addictive and harmful to children, while concealing what it knew."

Mark Zuckerberg Is Building two AI Clones to Replace Him in Meetings or to interact with staff and an agent to be his personal CEO assistant

Happy cloning! When will anybody get a clone? 😊

When will the clone look like a humanoid robot?

"The Meta chief is personally involved in training and testing his animated AI double, which could hold conversations with employees and offer them feedback, according to one person with knowledge of the project.

They added that the character is being trained on the billionaire’s mannerisms, tone and publicly available statements, as well as his own recent thinking on company strategies, so that employees might feel more connected to the founder through interactions with it.

The project remains at an early stage and is distinct from Zuckerberg’s separate effort to build a “CEO agent” to assist him in his role, for instance by retrieving information quickly, an idea first reported by the Wall Street Journal. ..."

Not welcomed by Facebook anymore

I thought, I raise my public profile a little bit by my social media presence. Today (4/26/2025), I attempted to become a Facebook member again. I intended to advertise my blog on Facebook.

I had to find out that Mark Zuckerberg is a fool! Facebook suspended my new account application immediately. Facebook does not offer a Google Account login like so many other websites. Google could have easily verified that I am a human.

 

What a joke!

After I clicked on the Appeal button, I was presented with:

Early and long-time, former female Meta employee sues for sexual harassment, gender discrimination. Really!

Seems to be another phony Me Too event! Could this be a frivolous or even politically motivated lawsuit? Or is her mental health the issue?

So this woman worked 15 years at this company and sues the company after being laid off!

Men watch out in the battle of the sexes! The matriarchat is coming! 😊

"... Kelly Stonelake, who spent 15 years at the company and rose to the rank of director, alleges in the lawsuit she faced a cycle of gender-based discrimination and harassment that persisted from shortly after her hiring in 2009 to when she was laid off in January 2024. ...

By the time she was laid off, Stonelake states in the suit she was on extended medical leave for post-traumatic stress disorder. ..."

Mark Zuckerberg hilariously roasted after looking at Lauren Sanchez’s chest. Really!

Zuckerberg is quite often in the news these days!

Had he not been associated with Trump this minor faux pas probably would have never been reported!

What was Lauren Sanchez telling Mark Zuckerberg covered up by her hand? Do that one more time! For your eyes only 😊

More Speech and Fewer Mistakes | Meta

Good news! Mark Zuckerberg is 40 years old now! Maybe he is getting bolder and wiser! 😊

His last name translates to mountain of sugar! 😊

"Takeaways

• Starting in the US, we are ending our third party fact-checking program and moving to a Community Notes model.
• We will allow more speech by lifting restrictions on some topics that are part of mainstream discourse and focusing our enforcement on illegal and high-severity violations.
• We will take a more personalized approach to political content, so that people who want to see more of it in their feeds can.

Meta plans to build a $10B, 40,000 kilometer subsea cable spanning the world to be exclusively owned by Meta

Good news! This is huge! Amazing! Bravo!

When tech giants like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg compete!

Dictators like Putin the Terrible and Xi Jinping may not like this subsea cable. Will they sabotage it like other subsea cables before? Will China and Russia even be connected by it?

"Meta, the parent of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, is the second-biggest driver of internet usage globally. Its properties — and their billions of users — account for 10% of all fixed and 22% of all mobile traffic. Meta’s investments into artificial intelligence stand to boost that usage even further. ...

TechCrunch has confirmed with sources close to the company that Meta plans to build a new, major, fibre-optic subsea cable extending around the world — a 40,000+ kilometer project that could total more than $10 billion of investment. Critically, Meta will be the sole owner and user of this subsea cable — a first for the company and thus representing a milestone for its infrastructure efforts. ..."

Meta shuts down Iranian Supreme Leader's Instagram and Facebook accounts for his posts on Hamas and Israel

What! The Supreme Leader of Iran Ali Khamenei (age 84) has used Facebook? Is this reconcilable with strict Islam? 

The mullahs/imams/ayatollahs could not resist social media! Preaching water, but drinking wine! 😊

Mark Zuckerberg has tolerated that for so long?

Life/Reality/Truth is stranger than fiction!

"Meta has shut down the Instagram and Facebook accounts of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, “for repeatedly violating our Dangerous Organizations and Individuals policy.”

The company did not elaborate on its policy, reported Friday by multiple media outlets, but since Oct. 18, 11 days after Hamas terrorists raided Israel and murdered more than 1,200 people and brutalized thousands more, Meta has banned “content containing praise for Hamas, which is designated by Meta as a Dangerous Organization, or violent and graphic content.” ..."

Meta's Zuckerberg and Chan on track to donate $50 billion to science

Amazing stuff! Bravo! You may disagree on politics with Zuckerberg, but his and his wife's philanthropy is mind blowing.

"Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan sit atop a fortune that is currently valued at $113 billion, and they’ve promised to give almost all of it away. Their philanthropic funding group, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, is committed to investing in an array of fields, including science, education, housing insecurity, and expanding access to startup capital to entrepreneurs of color.

In 2015, when the self-described science nerds pledged 99 percent of their Facebook fortune to philanthropic causes over their lifetimes, they did not specify how they might spread their wealth. ..."

Musk vs Zuckerberg: Who Will Win the Cage Fight? with Palki Sharma

Let the fight of the century begin! 😊 The show must go on the America of the beautiful banana republic thanks to the senile, demented, and corrupt 46th President!

Will there really be a cage match Elon Musk vs. Mark Zuckerberg ?

This will be the greatest fight of all! The battle of the magnates!

Reminiscent of the famous The Rumble in the Jungle of 1974 and the Thrilla in Manila in 1975. Some of the highlights of the career Cassius Clay aka Muhammad Ali one of the greatest heavy weight boxing champions of all time!

Who of the two billionaires will float like a butterfly and who will sting like a bee? 😊

Why is the fight not being held in Las Vegas but in Enterprise, Nevada? Your guess is as good as mine! 

America the beautiful banana republic may temporarily be run by a senile, demented, and corrupt 46th President, but as they say 

The show must go on!
