I watched it and it is chilling. So should we get off of Facebook?
Replying to @marwilliamson
You know who has the power to shut down facebook? (& I think this is what Zuckerberg is inadvertently saying) We the people have the power to shut it down, it's Our choice. Will we?
Not too impressive β€” though I don't doubt FB manipulates. QUESTION : Who in the primaries overwhelmingly voted for Biden? ANSWER : those NOT online, over 60 who don't even know how to use FB properly. It ignores root issues : Poverty, Justice Reform, Media Gaslighting.

I’m grateful to be able to connect with you and so many others on this platform. But I’m afraid for our futures if we don’t hold them accountable for lies and manipulation

Less Government > More Government Why do Democrats fight for more government power? How would that solve any issue, especially when a majority of Americans disapprove of government. FDR solved nothing from his encouragement in the age of entitlements.

If you comment negatively and disagree about a political subject on a facebook post from an old high school friend, you will then see 5 times more of the same subject on facebook to increase your anger. Then you snooze, unfollow and feel horrible.

This needs to be addressed ... if not voluntarily ... then in January ... by law!

This puts a bit too much at Silicon Valley’s feet. We live in a controlled society and maybe Social media is a terrifying tool in manufacturing consent/dissent, but it’s not the first. America is rampant with the powerful stealing democracy. We can’t have oligarchy AND democracy.
