wow, you're only noticing it NOW?

you didn't notice the outright spam, suppression of dissent, and "trending" of candidates and causes that aligned with Zucky's favorite campaign donation recipient, and anyone allied over the last DECADE?

Funny how pointing this out over the last decade was called "paranoia" and worse. But suddenly it's The Worst Thing Evar.

Apparently as soon as "their" tools are used against them, those "tools" must be regulated, controlled, or worse. But until then, they're celebrated and promoted and defended unto death.

Waiting for the "no books are illegal" crowd to suddenly find reasons to ban "Rules For Radicals" as "fake news instruction manual" or "hate speech". Discussions of Alinsky will be "watched" and "regulated" by "algorithms" and their human masters like anything about Hitler or Mao.
