So we have Meta limited Lula's reach during the Brazilian election, and now Meta shutting down No Kings's reach during their big pre-midterms protest. That's this month alone, and they're probably doing even more in countries whose politics we don't hear as much about.
Billionaire-owned social media are stepping on the scales of politics more blatantly than ever before, and I'm not sure that we as a society are up to the task of reigning them in.
Im the only person I know that doesnt use META products. People talk about hating META but then they use thier products. People know that META views them as a commodity to make money off of but still uses thier products.

I can't believe anyone has any faith in X. What is fed to them and what is blocked from them is manipulative.

Nobody is policing this and it touches the whole planet. Every government should put laws in place and ban if non compliant.
