Both X and Meta manipulate their algorithm to benefit Trump
X by pushing pro-Trump propaganda
Meta by suppressing all news and political content. The less someone follows the news, the more likely they are to support Trump

Only around 1/3 of Americans listen to or read mainstream news. More and more Americans get their news from social media.
X promoted Trump intensively in this election with disinformation and lies. Facebook as well.
So the truth is hidden. And now democracy is in danger.

No chance.
Giving a corrupt, greedy criminal unlimited pardons isn't right, but it's our reality.
The problem with State prosecutions is the attacks and pressure.
Who will charge a Trump Cabinet head with anything?
I want to know WHERE is our Intelligence Community??
"enemies, foreign and domestic"?
Trump, Elon, Tulsi, etc calls to Putin are being monitored, aren't they??
the tattered remnants of democracy to shreds.💔🗽

Billionaires. No thank you. (Apologies to President Lincoln.)
after 2016 we knew who zuck was & what meta was up to... he never lied about it.
musk bought x for a reason and he never lied about it.
it is now 2024 and the great thought leaders of democracy are acting like this is new.
People should be getting news directly from a variety of dedicated sources not a feed controlled for political gain.
Even Blue is fine for a few headlines but this is not news either.
Such potential. I jumped onto threads early on (in beta) along with Bluesky (last year) without being really active. But I cannot rely on META any longer. Hoping budding developers are figuring out even more new products. Without the awful algorithmic thumbs on the control.
OR wanted legacy, so they built monuments to themselves: conservatories universities & libraries.
What do you think the literacy rate was in early 20th Century?
Old rich also bought newspapers and controlled the content. The only thing that has changed is manners. Old rich wouldn’t jump on stage and show his belly to the world

RIP 2008-2024.
I was back on Facebook in the run up to the election and conservative viewpoints are forced into the zeitgeist via meme pages.
