    Agreed, but know they have tools that enable them to do it with unprecedented impact.

    In my opinion, the difference is so huge, we might as well think they didn’t manipulate things at all before.

      Yes tools like TikTok that libs lobbied to hand to fascists. Now they want more of the same.

    Yeah, by memory Rupert Murdoch had his hand at that and in Aus and the UK. I’d love to see that reined in again too

  Murder =/= social media.

  It’s pretty sad that I have to say this. People are really losing their minds of this “social media” hype.
