One more reason for Democrats to go after big tech with the Anti-trust guns blazing. We know that this is one of Zuckerberg, Musk, Ellison, Bezos, etc. greatest fears. They told us so when they went after Lena Khan with such hatred.
The sad irony is that for years, consumers have been asking these social media platforms to enforce their stated guidelines to curb hate speech, and now, with Trump in the White House and billionaires at the helm, they're all about enforcement of rules that don't actually apply but at the expense of left-leaning critical voices. Not very encouraging.
This seems to me and you a simple solution. But being addicted takes willpower to quit even when the thing makes you physically and mentally ill. Having had fierce addictions, I know what it takes to quit. Even Facebook, which made me nauseous, was difficult to fully quit. As with cigarettes, booze and drugs, you cannot have your addiction in the house. You must cut the cords and go through the withdrawal of social media. Look up August Lamm, she is fighting the good fight, seemingly singlehandedly.
Yet another reason why we should all dump Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, WhatsApp, Substack and any other corporate/billionaire-owned social media and go with Mastodon, an open-source, non-algorithm, no ads, decentralized social media platform.
Related to this post is the fact that people in Ukraine are dying because Musk and Trump have cut off access to Starlink in Ukraine. This is what happens when we let our billionaires (or rather trillionaires) and criminals run our country.
Dr, Bob: "We" are not "letting" the Billionaires of the Epstein Class do anything. Congress is. Or rather, Republicans in Congress are. Our power lies in cutting the cords to these cesspools, protesting and voting. There is a third box, but it escapes me now.
How do we stop these oligarchs? There has to be a way! They think they are the most important people in the world! They should never had this much wealth. No one should. IMO it makes one sick mentally. Plus this wealth should be shared bc we the people bought the products, people worked at the companies. They have to be stopped.
Don't overlook Joel Kaplan, the VP of Global Policy at Meta. He is a Republican operative, took part in the Brooks Brothers riot that stopped vote counting in Florida that got Bush Jr. elected. Worked in the George W. Bush Chief of Staff office. Helped get Brett Kavanaugh appointed to the Supreme Court. Censored Facebook content that Netanyahu objected to. Banned Tack AIPAC that reports on AIPAC activity... Follow along with this interactive relationship map.
Tech billionaires are weaponizing algorithms to suppress votes and distort elections. See how social platforms are turned against American democracy from censoring No Kings Rallies to denying Starlink to Ukraine.
Not surprised, as Pres. George W, Bush once said, "Fool me once, shame on you, Fool me - you can't get fooled again." How many times does Mark Uckerberg, Leon Musk and Jeff Bozos, to name a few common rats, have to show you who they are and what they are capable of? No Kings means no Kings, monarchs, non-elected rulers, despots, emperors or oligarchs. At least that is what it should mean. Are we so stupid to think kings are bad but the Billionaires of the Epstein Class are okay with democracy and government oversight? Don't be stupid, dahling.
The Oligarchs aren't even bothering to pretend they don't dig censoring any speech critical of them or the Right.
And Trump et al doesn't even attempt to hide their corruption. We've hit quite the milestone (head on).
Zuckerberg has a lot to answer for.
Uckerberg has had a lot to answer for since day one and he has learned to oil himself up and slip right through.

Facebook/Meta is not an essential service.
All No Kings has to do is say fine, we don’t need Zuckerberg.
Don’t advertise on Meta, Don’t communicate on Meta. Find alternatives&there are some.
Why contribute to Meta if they no longer provide services?

Let’s see - if the spokesperson for Meta tells the truth then I am the pope and I wear a long white dress.
Let's update Diderot, 'Americans won't be free until the last GOP fascist is strangled with the entrails of the last tech billionaire.'
Gruesome and apt.
The Facebook mafia in action.
Advisories "accidentally" disappearing is an indication you are dealing with ORGANIZED CRIME.

Judd, you ought to italicize every instance of the documentary’s title to differentiate them from references to the documentary’s subject.
