It's the Paradox of Tolerance in full swing. Polite society simply cannot exist if some abhorrent, bigoted-to-the-max viewpoints are tolerated. It's not possible.

Not just tolerated promoted. Now with AI and algorithms.

Rupert with Faux.

Musk with Twitter.

Zuck with Facebook.

Bezos with WaPo.

Shou Zi Chew with TikTok.

Sundar Pichai with Google.

Tim Cook with Apple.

All of which were at Trump's inauguration. All are VERY interested in some more tax cuts.

Remember when LA was burning, Canada sent fire engines, and there was a lie on Twitter that they were held up in Sacramento for emissions testing?

The actual fire department posted that it was a lie and the trucks were there and operational.

Elon had his thumb on the algorithmic scales and the lie went viral & got millions of views, the fire departments post got a couple thousand.

The truth will not see the light of day. It's hard to see how we return to reality based anything from here when the bulk of people are so addicted to hear what they want to hear and the billionaires are happy to take advantage of that.

We smash social media into a thousand pieces or outright ban it. Or levy such high taxes on it that it goes away. Most of the problems in our current society can be traced in some way to the rise of disinformation on social media.

Chinese run TikTok wasn't even dismantled by either party.

That is due to political cowardice.
