First step towards full scale fashism
And evenly worrying, they are banning / burning books again.
Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp just followed Twitter and went 100% MAGA. Time to leave the platforms that promote what they say is free speech but is in fact a lot of Lies, „Fake News“, conspiracies and hate, and serves the rapidly developing oligarchy of billionaires with antidemocratic agendas. It will take a bit of effort to wean myself off them. In the meantime I would like to ask all my friends to join me on Bluesky (@mgummert.bsky.social) and Mastodon (@Bobbel@c.im).

It is not very surprising, but still shocking, how fast big business and in particular the Tech companies threw all previous principles overboard and queued up in line to lick the unidentified orange haired mammal’s boot.

“Many of those companies have voluntarily walked back their diversity initiatives, while others were specifically targeted by far-right groups.”
