I’m starting to think that Trump may have promised them a big tax break or something if they pivoted to an alt-right platform. Despite what people say, Meta’s platforms and the company itself was always pretty Democrat in terms of rules (not talking about the moderation here). For example they removed the LGBT chat backgrounds, but these had to be added at some point. Idk this pivot seems too fast, it feels like they are trying to prove something rather than actually being MAGA. Kind of like they are playing pretend.
For me it’s the part where they say things like “we were Maga for all this time but we were afraid to say it” and then in a single day the company does a complete 180? A change like this would have been more progressive in my opinion, meta is a large company and they have been doing A/B testing for a long time. It really surprises me that they would do something like this so fast
