If you look at how Meta spends money, they spend billions per year in moderation and brand-safety technology and people and processes.
Meanwhile, in the Twitter -> X transformation, these roles were all but eliminated.
And yes, one CEO says "it is important we get this right" and the other one says "fuck it all", then it's more "signaling priorities" than "virtue signaling".
Also, you forgot the bit about how much Meta spends on lawyers suing federal agencies so they can use data they scraped from their underage users:

And this is what they're doing with data they illegally harvested from children: https://www.latimes.com/business/technology/story/2023-11-30...
(and there are many more examples)
And also yes, I am using evidence of how they spend their money as an indication of their intent. It’s the embodiment of putting their money where their mouth is.
