Censorship and Propaganda - 1984

We are on the best way to a fascist utopia all too similar to 1984. Censorship is controlled - as in the past - by numerous and ever more governments, but most of all by social media companies that are in theory 'private', but are largely owned by various governments and that impose a fascist censorship that prevents a large number of users from receiving important information.

They tried to censor speech. Elon Musk invested more than $40 billion to buy Twitter and was continuously mocked over losing money. Turns out that Twitter/X is actually making money now, $2.7 billion, in 2024. Revenue is half of what it used to be and costs are 1/4 of what they used to be. Net margins increased from ~13% to ~46%. Extreme focus on efficiency! The advertisement boycotts are largely over. It will keep growing.

So Facebook censors a tiny bit less and now Zuckerberg is a Neo-Nazi? These people are beyond retarded! They've given up 100% of their ability to think rationally to be members of their cult 💀💀💀 It also becomes obvious that Zuckerberg has been surrounded by an entire wall of people who shielded him from reality so that he could not question the narrative provided to him. I bet that they already have assassination teams ready in case he goes full Elon Musk 🤔

TikTok’s parent company is evaluating a potential option for Elon Musk to acquire TikTok’s American operation, per Bloomberg If true, that would be EPIC! The ban is set to go in effect later this month if legal challenges are unsuccessful and the U.S. operation is not sold.

Facebook had 40,000 "fact-checkers"—FORTY THOUSAND. That's enough to double Greenland's population if you shipped them all there. Their extinction is an event to be celebrated 😅

Leftists ALWAYS create echo-chambers!

It's not surprising that leftists have been leaving Twitter/X in droves after they could no longer censor people they disagreed with. Following Trump's latest victory, millions more escaped to alternate platforms such as Bluesky ... only to trigger infighting among the leftists...See more
