It's a little bit naive and self destructive that human beings have created tools as powerful as mainstream social media with absolutely no checks or balances, absolutely no accountability, absolutely no transparency, and entirely at the whims of billionaire owners and nation states they're in bed with.
Regulating and banning social media that is being used to blatantly conduct massive psyops should be uncontroversial.
I'm sick of private ownership and private decision making about every fucking single aspect of human life from who gets housed to who gets fed to our very culture.
Americans "hate" dictatorships but allow the economy to be run by a bunch of Lords.
Socialism is the democratization of the economy. Socialism puts the human and the worker and the people most impacted by these economic decisions at the helm.
But no, democracy in the economy wouldn't be free. We need to slave away for fascist dictators.
It would be, if those same billionaire owners didn't pull the politician's puppet strings.
But muh TikTok!!!
And also: it's racist to ban social media platforms.....or whatever......I don't know. Whatever garbage is usually spewed anytime a platform that leans heavily left is about to get shut down.
