    Anyone who doesn’t understand this shouldn’t be taken seriously.

    Idk about that, but the rest sounds highly probable.

    I think it’s both. China does benefit from Americans’ attention and The Zuck & Co. are all jumping on the wagon to push out their competitor by raising their hypocritical fingers.



  • Let the record show that Facebook reluctantly cooperated with the government because they had to. Just like they reluctantly implemented better network security measures after shit happened because Zuck and Sandberg saw that as an inconvenience. They wanted to innovate their product and by that I mean make money, fucking greedy bastards.

    The book An Ugly Truth: Inside Facebook’s Battle for Domination by Sheera Frenkel & Cecilia Kang has all the juicy details.

    At least you could say they were held by the balls by Congress. The Zuck did testify multiple times before them regarding media manipulation. But that’s the very least. It didn’t work, though, because Americans were still swayed and not just by social media. Now, they want free range and they want to achieve that by jumping on Trump’s smol pp… again.
