    Meta has zero interest in destabilizing the American democracy. China does. China wants to take over Taiwan. Meta doesn’t.

    You see where I’m getting at? It’s in Meta’s best interest to have a vibrant democracy and a strong economy. China does not.

    Meta doesn’t give a flying fuck who owns the south China seas. Guess who does and has the tools to influence the people who vote for the politicians that will ignore an invasion to Taiwan?

    Sure China probably wants money. But imagine how much money they can have if they influence America not to step into an invasion into Taiwan. 90% of the world’s semiconductors would be under the influence of China.

      Meta has a vested interest in making money. This has caused them to force polarizing content onto users pages, even when the information presented is false. They have worsened the political divides in America, and caused a significant number of people to believe lies about their fellow citizens.

      The fact is Meta has damaged democracy for it’s own profit.

      Mate look at neo-fascist/white supremacist content on Facebook and tell me with a straight face that Facebook isn’t destabilizing American democracy.

      Also, fuck their rebranding. It’s always going to be Facebook for me.
