at least they did it before...

maybe some government issue with visas?

I'm have this paranoid supsicion that some powerful shadow (i.e. unkown) actor within the USA political landspace really wants to take Facebook/Meta down.

I suppose they did not go along somebody's political plans? so little trustworthy information sure makes my imagination take off

Why does a certain 'paper of record' have to publish a hitpiece on facebook/meta every single day. Seems awfully suspicious.

Does this obsession seem normal ?

Someone tries to manipulate the market because of a short (or long?) position on FB?
nah, the people on such a hypotehtical unkown level work without money constraints; they will print more if needed.
That's a weird take considering it's a company that's been very publicly and loudly saying it plans to make cuts due to falling revenue. They got hit hard by Apple's privacy changes and some other "macro headwinds."
What's not trustworthy about the simple fact that the company is having a really hard time right now and needs to trim fat to try and make it?
Trim the fat? From what I can tell no executives have lost their jobs or had their comp reduced...
That's not what trim the fat means.
