Facebook has stated that it will comply with anything Musk tells Trump to tell Zuckerberg. With immediate effect, it will cease checking facts. You read that correctly, apparently up to now it has been. Well, to be fair, it checked the facts it passed to Analytica a few years back. Sort of. Anyway, for those concerned what this move means, here is how it will affect you.
Cat videos will almost certainly be AI generated. By cats. They have always controlled that part of Facebook.
Photographs of half-eaten meals will almost certainly be fake. At least we can hope they are fake.
Videos of people falling off buildings in comedic ways will remain to be fake. Unless they originate in Russia, in which case please look away.
Adverts selling tat nobody needs at exorbitant prices will remain. Adverts selling useful stuff at prices too good to be true will remain too good to be true.
All your private and personal data will be sold to anyone and everyone. That wasn't part of the deal, it's just how Facebook works.
A government spokesman stated that the government is unconcerned about the changes to Facebook. 'As far as we can tell the only people still using Facebook are geriatrics, and as we've choked their ability to pay for electricity over the winter they almost certainly won't notice the changes. We're certain we can squeeze more cash out of pensioners by the spring, so they'll continue not to notice the changes.'
Concerned citizens are recommended to change their social media to Friends Reunited, their search engine to Ask Jeeves, and to avoid sharing their personal details with their cat.

The romantic comedy movie You’ve Got Mail is getting a sequel, after almost thirty years. The original film is much loved and is still frequently viewed on streaming services.
In the 1998 film a small bookshop, run by Meg Ryan, is put out of business by an all consuming chain of book superstores run by Tom Hanks. The message of the film is to accept change and move with the times. Meg Ryan is forced to close her bookshop and, after being comprehensively catfished by Tom Hanks over email, finally accepts her fate, and hooks up with him.
Tom Hanks has been offered a role in the sequel and is said to be considering it. But Meg Ryan is out of the running and industry insiders say that Jeff Bezos or Mark Zuckerberg could take the role of the villain this time.
In the remake, Tom Hanks’ superstore chain Fox Books is put out of business by the all consuming internet, run by Jeff Bezos or Mark Zuckerberg. The message of the film is to accept change and move with the times, blah blah blah.
Critics worry that the romantic tension of the original film could easily be lost in the remake, with some believing that neither Jeff Bezos nor Mark Zuckerberg are 'hot enough' for the role.
