Oh come on, you can't be serious about this crap. 

Man = someone who identifies as male.

Woman = someone who identifies as female.

That's it.  That's literally the definition.

Doubt.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Facebook_ad_boycotts

What other revenue streams? $8 a month for having a blue tick is definitely not going to be it.  Look at how Facebook/Meta, Google and Snap, Inc. have done with trying to find anything other than advertisements.

Not only can people not agree on basic definitions, its now impossible to tell a post that is serious from one that is comedic.

--- End quote ---
They pulled out as soon as Elon aquired twittter, way before he started changing anythyng.

Hunter Biden laptop was so fake that more than two centuries old New York Post had to be censored in all of social media, including any links posted by users before elections happened. So called "fortifying elections" https://time.com/5936036/secret-2020-election-campaign/ Oh snap, it turned out to be true. And quite likely would overturn election results if was not prevented from spreading.
The problem is that nobody really cares about banning nonsense about established facts which can really be reliably verified without bias. Information which usually get censored is not so clear cut.

--- Quote ---Realistically, advertisers won't tolerate their content being shown alongside such dribble, so they'll pull out if platforms do nothing about this.

They tolerated it placed alongside CP material though.

Instigating violence and breaking the law will get you banned. Unlike previously when it was fine as long as you were on the "proper" side like ANTIFA.

Identifies as what? How do I know I'm a man and not: a woman, non-binary, fluid, pan gender etc.? What's the objective reality?
