Trifecta: Meta screwed with the accounts of the non-fascist Brazilian presidential candidate: https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/meta-employees-said-lulas-accounts-were-hindered-during-brazil-election-folha-2026-10-16/
The American tech oligarchs are completely beyond control at this point. They need to be stepped on, hard and soon.
@dangillmor One has to ask if it’s possible to step on something that seems to be stepping on us and squashing us like a bug.
They’re controlling information/social media, currencies, energy resources and influencing elections and politics worldwide.
The tech bros can manipulate societies as they want. Fakebook is full or propaganda and bot accounts. Starlink cut off Ukraine from service. Ellison is bound to manipulate with propaganda on CNN and CBS and indoctrinate our youth through tiktok. Heaven help us if the web ever goes down or is made inaccessible. We are at the mercy of a few very powerful people
@dangillmor @waltwooton By what or whom?
@judell Politicians who will refuse to be bought. Yes, a long shot at this point. Alternative, after a long and horrible interim, is active overthrow. @waltwooton
@dangillmor @waltwooton Boycott would normally be a lever but isn't when SpaceX's main customer is the government.

@dangillmor you step on them by dumping their stock, and the mutual funds that hold it.
