Key moments pulled from kagi.com
The author is upset and suspicious of Mark Zuckerberg and his new social media platform Threads.
The author believes Zuckerberg is not to be trusted given Facebook's history of data harvesting, privacy violations, and spreading misinformation.
Facebook bears responsibility for spreading conspiracy theories and radicalizing people.
The author thinks the positive reception of Threads is likely due to astroturfing and artificial boosting by Zuckerberg.
Zuckerberg has a long history of unethical behavior and putting profits over people.
The author worries that Threads will be used to manipulate the 2024 election and spread misinformation.
The author thinks people are too easily falling for Zuckerberg's rebranding as a "cool uncle" figure with Threads.
The author argues that Zuckerberg has not changed and Threads will eventually become just like Facebook.
The author warns against trusting Zuckerberg and Threads, comparing it to a panther that seems cool at first but will eventually harm people.
The author believes Zuckerberg's ultimate goal is to control what information people see online.
That is completely accurate and logical representation of the article after it's had the heart ripped out KALIMAAA-style and been lowered into a pit.
I need to start using Mola-Ram metaphors in conversation
All of those seem reasonable 🤷🏾♂️
I was about to ask if Kagi is worth paying for, but their website does a tremendous job of selling it. I am going to have to give up a subscription to afford it, but I think it will be worth it. Actually... maybe not. I pay for everything annually when I can. Too bad they don't have that option, but it makes sense when their are hard limits to searches and features between tiers.
I have to start using their sum up feature more, it's great.
