Remember when the internet used to be a thing you could use to organize and spread word of your protest and dissatisfaction? It could spark an arab spring or bring down a government.
Now it's all like, oh, there's a protest and threat of general strike so Facebook are suppressing posts from the area and Twitter and demoting anything mentioning the hashtag.
We really should have never let the corporations control the selection algorithms. Not only do they distort it for money from advertisers, they suppress messages that conflict with their billionaire capitalist owner's interests in any way at all.
We must decententralize and decorporatize the internet. Its our only hope.
Solidarity with y'all striking and marching today. I see you here. I see that they can't see you from over there. The corporate internet is as selectively focused as the newspapers were now.
