    Begin with the “cherry-picking”:

    • Disinformation gets cut out.

    • Fact-checking is protected-speech, not immediately-auto-deleted-because-it-harms-profitable-disinformation.

    • Ideological-prejudice gets cut out.

    Rabies is their means-of-gaining-possession-of-the-world, & NOTHING can be tolerated to interfere with their rabies/means.

    No matter how many humans die, in which circumstances their platforms helped enforce.


    For-profit-corporations are psychopaths, by default…

    So long as we continue maintaining-otherwise, they continue winning…

    until it’s too late.

    ( & we don’t get told when it is too late, either: that’s movie-fantasy plot-point, not reality )
