Meta’s revenue is in the tens of billions. This fine isn’t even a rounding error for them. This isn’t something that should be taken so lightly.

Cha-ching!
Does your troll farm pay you by the comment? You just don’t seem to be able to not say anything even when you have nothing of value to say.
Definitely agreed. Then again, Reddit has stopped being user or privacy friendly for a long time now.
I went pretty far in school thanks for asking. Landed a nice stable job in a good career.
I’d like to point out once again that you failed to address any of my points directly and just resorted to generalizations and attacks on me in an attempt to discredit me rather than prove any of your points. There’s clearly no actual point to discuss anything with you since you don’t seem to be interested in that.
Google has a function to limit or remove third party connections/accounts from your google account. You should be able to change that if you wanted to.
Loving your convenient oversight of why people are in that position to begin with. It’s not like every relevant expert and organization calls Palestine the largest open air prison and likens it to the treatment of the Jews by Nazi Germany. But no, it’s their fault that they had their entire lives ripped from them by foreigners, and all their wealth is taken and controlled as well. It’s definitely their fault that almost half of the Palestinians are younger than 18 and not because the older ones keep dying from a corrupt government with no oversight.
The best part is that when I actually addressed all your points and showed you how wrong you are, you just resorted to generalizations and racism to endorse the ongoing genocide. You couldn’t even prove I’m wrong.
All this, and I’m evil and childish. Get a life.
And there we have it folks. This is what actual evil looks like. Individuals like this one who dehumanize people all for being born less fortunate than them and using it to justify atrocities being committed. It’s legitimately sad and pathetic that people like this exist.
Don’t normalize this kind of behavior and accept it. You’re just asking to be gaslit and enables them to be more bold in their next statements. It’s not a coincidence this statement came out just as Israel launches the deadliest attack on Lebanon in 15 years and telling the inhabitants to move out or face death. Ridicule and shame them for every outlandish statement they preach. Every. Single. One.
It’s not the country’s he’s talking about. It’s the little areas of remote territory along Israel’s borders, that while technically part of those countries, they don’t resemble a country at all. There is no legit government. There is no law enforcement. There are no courts of law. They are essentially unincorporated territories held variously by local militias and tribes.
Every wonder why? Here’s a little hint:
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/longform/2024/4/15/mapping-israel-lebanon-cross-border-attacks
Notice the number of attacks by Israel is over 5 times the amount compared to Hezbollah. This is exactly how Israel operates. Destabilize a region forcing the inhabitants to leave then move in and claim it’s part of their territory. Then once the actual native population try to have it back, they cry victim and massacre them in the name of self defense. They’re already trying to settle areas in Gaza and the West Bank. It’s not a coincidence this statement appeared just as Israel launches the deadliest attack in Lebanon in the past 15 years and tells them to leave or face death.
If Lebanon and Syria want to claim this territory as part of their country, they have to actually make it a part of a country, bring it under the jurisdiction of their law. Be legitimate leadership. Work towards the betterment of the people whose charge they claim.
The Golan Heights would like a word with you.
Israel is not going to let it be surrounded by lawless territory that Iran uses to stage attacks against Israel, certainly not while Iran is over there trying to cook up nuclear material to make dirty bombs.
Love your casual use of the word lawless as if that indicates a lack of morality and a justification to settle territory that belongs to another nation.
If you took even fifteen seconds to actually listen to the argument that’s being made, instead of only half, understanding it and rushing to an emotional judgment, you’d realize it doesn’t sound like The Onion at all. It’s an argument made by people all over the world, especially as to Gaza, for example, and, guess what? It’s a legit argument.
I’m not being emotional and claiming a country doesn’t exist or it’s territories don’t belong to it is not a legit argument. Don’t try and gaslight the situation here.
I ran Iraq and Syria, are not quite failed States, because they do still have a seat of power within their countries, and they do project that power to a limited extent. But they do not project it into these lawless border territories. And so when you have essentially gangs and terror cells, pretending to be legitimate political entities, how many suicide bombings, rocket attacks, and mass shootings must your neighbors abide before they bring their law to your territories? FAFO.
You ever stop to consider why these countries are struggling to retain control? Countries like Iraq that got decimated and completely destabilized by the US under the false pretense of WMD’s? Each country you listed can have it’s destabilization traced back to foreign interference by foreign countries like the US and Israel. Destabilizing an entire region then calling it “lawless” and justifying the theft of the land for your own benefit is not a valid argument. This approach should be shamed and ridiculed just as we are doing here.
Israel isn’t very random, much more cold and calculated. Not very satire-like.
That’s not what the purpose of this community though. The purpose is to have headlines that can pass as a satirical one from The Onion at first glance. To me this fits the definition.
I get where you’re coming from but if we follow that logic then majority of the posts on this community about Trump and his MAGA fanatics would be disqualified. Just because ridiculous is the norm for these people doesn’t mean we stop calling it out.
Whether or not he proves anything is irrelevant. This is a minister of a country coming out and saying other countries don’t technically exist because he thinks so (and his logic is pretty dam stupid as well). It’s a pretty ridiculous and weird stance to take.
I mean call me crazy but I feel like a minister from a country trying to justify why he doesn’t see internationally recognized countries as actual countries is pretty Onion-y to me. The icing on top is that it’s coming from a minister in a country known for illegally stealing land and re-defining their own borders against international law.
I love how reporting things like this generates downvotes on the topic even though OP took the time to paste actual screenshots proving it to be true.
The current top comment to the thread you linked to answers the question. Short answer is lemmy.world is now excluded from the numbers to avoid further centralization of uses to that instance.
Beautiful 😍.
You’re perfect ❤️.
To increase engagement, I propose we have some idiots volunteer to respond to every scientific article and achievement on Mastodon with ridicule and skepticism.
Tolerating the opinions to indiscriminately bomb countries and people is not something we as a society should do.
