What is the equivalent of impeachment for Mark and Jack and Sheryl et al? Or do they just get to keep all the money that made off Trump?
Sheryl lied this week. Mark lied in 2016. Jack equivocated for 3 years. Are there zero consequences for them and their monetized negligence?

Facebook made $21 billion last year in the third quarter alone. A lot of that is QAnon, Stop the Steal, antivaxx, COVID denial blood money. https://twitter.com/juddlegum/status/1342163686060924928
During Trump’s four years in office, Facebook made $190 million dollars in ad revenue.
2020: $78 billion
2019: $70 billion
2018: $55 billion
2017: $40 billion
2016: $27 billion
(2020 figures projected)

I am happy Donald Trump was held to account and impeached today. I am concerned that unless we reign in our dopamine polarization casinos and their obscene monetization that rewards lying, outrage, slander and disinformation—the viral madness superspreader HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED.
* Sorry, that’s $190 billion (not million) in the four years
I’ve been sharing this video since last Tuesday.
Why are we okay with monetized engineered sticky narrowmindedness and epistemic grooming?
Trump the moral outrage pornstar was the best-selling rage centerfold of Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

I’ve been thinking about this for years. I don’t have an answer. All I can think of is cigarettes, meth pipes, slot machines, blood libel, BASF, lobster traps. I know people are doing research on these effects. I hope, like today, there will be concrete steps of reform, soon.
We say that criminal or unethical harmful behavior that goes unpunished comes back stronger later to hurt society even more—what about hosting neo-Nazis & treasonous accusations, then going home with the casino in your back pocket AND $190 billion you made off epistemic crisis?
How much money did @Jack make off 2.6 million hate-filled antisemitic tweets sent to Jewish journalists who criticized Trump in 2016?
Give that blood money to charity. Or else you are profiting off some of the most vile abuse and death threats a human could imagine. https://twitter.com/mariachong/status/788625544619368449

It has been a frustrating for years for many of us who saw this happening and watched the CEOs do nothing (but take in profits). https://twitter.com/mariachong/status/799006129980219392
Happy Impeachment Day.
Let’s sing sea shanties, stick Q-tips up our noses, hire planes to sky-write “SEAT BELTS ARE CANCEL CULTURE” on a day 4000 of our neighbors died. You see, COVID is just the flu, Trump was sent by God, social media played no part in this confusion of mind.
