@Gargron@mastodon.social @mosseri As someone who dealt with FB before, they have never let go of the motto of "Don't get caught." If they get their hooks in, the Fediverse is dead within 18 months.

@Tutanota @noybeu Meta has been reading everything since 2015. If you have a Meta app on your phone, they started their straight spyware with FB Messenger.

@StevenBeschloss@mastodon.social the biggest problem is that a lot of media (looking dead on at NYT with Trump sycophant Haberman still somehow on the payroll despite it coming out that she has laundered propaganda for him) give them a platform instead of treating them as the whackadoodles they are. The idiocy will stop when the people with megaphones stop putting one in front of these a-holes every chance they get because "ratings." MAGA, Jordan, McCarthy, Gaetz, MTG, Bobert or whatever are all five year olds throwing a temper tantrum in the middle of a grocery store and a lot of news programs are like the moron parents offering them cake, a hug, ice cream, or whatever attention they imagine they need. The solution is simple, the media needs to cut their mics, walk away, stop showing clips, etc.
