Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $270B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $210B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

Imagine knowing your platform was a playground for predators, fueling teen depression, eating disorders, and suicide and deciding the best course of action was… absolutely nothing. Meta didn’t just “miss” anything.

Meta is renewing its threats against employees, telling them today that they will hunt for leakers and tolerate zero leaks. Want to know how that is going? Three Meta employees who I’ve never spoken to before just cold messaged/emailed me offering me to be sources.

Zuckerberg owns Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and WhatsApp. Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post. Elon Musk owns Twitter/X. When multi-billionaires take control of our most vital platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy

It’s about time the Democratic Party come to terms with the fact that a vast majority of the American public lives in a media environment — from Fox to Twitter to podcasts — that functions as a Republican propaganda machine. Ignoring this reality is no longer a tenable solution.

One lesson of Jan 6 is this: Trump’s lies, spread on TV & social media, provoked a violent attack on our Capitol. No responsible adult, and especially no American pledged to our Constitution, should deny what happened or repeat the same reckless lies. pic.twitter.com/MReMysC534

Meta will reinstate Trump on Facebook and Instagram
— Lindy Li (@lindyli) January 26, 2023
Elon reinstated him on Twitter
NYT, WaPo, NPR all raved about Marjorie Taylor Greene
CNN aired puff pieces on DeSantis & a townhall for Pence
CBS pushed a Hunter conspiracy
The media continues to cash in & kiss fascist ass
Trump incited an insurrection. And tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power.

He’s shown no remorse. No contrition.
Giving him back access to a social media platform to spread his lies and demagoguery is dangerous.@facebook caved, giving him a platform to do more harm.
So Trump comes crawling back to Twitter and Facebook after his own Trump Psycho® social media startup fails miserably. What a pathetic loser.
