I like that the article consistently refers to Meta as what it is, an adtech giant that also runs social media platforms rather than the other way around.
Exactly like Brock Turner, rapist who got convicted to 3 months of wrist slapping.
Yeah, what does he think he is, some kind of big guvmint vaccine mandate coming to take our guns??
That's the Netherworld. Common mistake.

It's like Orwell and Kafka had a baby and then someone appointed that baby emperor of the world 🤦
Oh no, did the two huge companies hoarding the rights to the vast majority of popular music in the world while underpaying artists and overcharging everyone else lose some potential revenue?!
If you're not disrupting anything, your protest will invariably be ignored.

If you think THIS is distasteful, you should see what priests do..
