I’m so done with all of this. It’s time to break them up. Who is “them”? All of them.

Especially the media channels - from Fox downwards.
Make lying to the public a criminal offence. Without lies these channels are nothing.

Who decides what is a lie and what is the truth? Does the intention to lie matter or is an accidental lie (e.g. a quoting mistake) an offence as well? Is telling incomplete truths or ignoring important or relevant facts lying? Is representing information in a factually correct but misleading or easy to misinterpret way lying?

Lies are a strong political tool, for both ultimate good or ill.

I’d highly reccomend that people look at how the media sphere in America is split, not just the tech social media sphere.
America had problems before Social Media dialed it up to 11. Those problems aren’t going away.

Zuckerberg, Pichai, Wojcicki, and Dorsey have failed as guardians of the internet. Split their companies into pieces and let organic conversations happen again. I tire of them profiting off of hate while spamming the world with ugly art of squiggly cartoon people in a phony attempt to paint themselves as anything but evil.

They never were guardians of the internet. They are the worst scum/good businessman, that led to creation of successful businesses/profit centers riding off engagement.
It doesn't matter which way the wind blows, they make money, there's an audience and there's engagement and user-base.
To think these people ever thought about being guardians or Internet ambassadors is foolish and downright ignorant. They are profiteers.
