  Enjoy the freedom of having the likes of Meta and Google pull another Cambridge analytica. Or the freedom of having multi-billion dollar companies like YouTube aggressively push algorithms that steer people down the alt right pipeline. Or the freedom of instagram mechanically and ruthlessly instilling in children as much body dysphoria and low self esteem as possible in the name of profit.

  It was literally only two years ago that Meta was promoting racial violence in Myanmar. amnesty.org/…/myanmar-facebooks-systems-promoted-…

  Any reasonable person can look at the heinous acts carried out by western tech companies in recent years and realize that the great firewall has been vindicated.

      I think they just copy paste this stuff.

      You can tell because it’s a completely non-sequitur. They don’t even bother tailing their ramblings to the conversation currently being had. They just control + c, control + v it into place, and then act like they’ve achieved something.
