In which employees of a private company gain total access to files of every citizen, and government offices are stacked with ‚loyals‘. It makes me wonder, dear friends in the US: do you see it differently? Because from here, it does look like a coup. With a lot of added noise for distraction. 2/2

Tonight, the US correspondent of Austrian public broadcasting expressed consternation at the laissez faire of the American public that they are essentially victims to a coup. Not a military coup but one in which a billionaire‘s employees take over the government and fire public servants at will. 1/

So. the cowardly abandonment of fact checking and content moderation at #Meta makes it more urgent - how can we let our children use any social media? How can we educate to make use of the good things and support facts while not promoting fascism, autocrats, xenophobia, lgbtqia+phobia etc?
