20. again, the argument is not about data

Fri Jan 17, 2025, 03:51 PM

Jan 2025

it is about a foreign power who continuously launches cyber attacks on our country controlling a vast propaganda network without transparency.

Yes, Zuck and Musk are detestable shitheads and there are tons of issues with their platforms that need regulation. Which I fully support and have spent years arguing for. ON OTHER THREADS.

But Meta or Twitter do not launch cyberattacks against our government or our power supply. Please get educated on this issue and dig deeper. It. Is. Not. Merely. About. Data.
