Politicians and corporations are colluding to censor social media right now for the same reasons that they used to ban enslaved people from reading. Social media was never intended for us to build community. It's meant for the rich and powerful to spread disinformation that divides and distracts us.

The mainstream media may not discuss it, but here's the fact:

Three people —Musk, Bezos & Zuckerberg — now own more wealth than the bottom half of American society.

A handful of corporations control what is produced & the prices we pay.

Capitalism is broken.

Here is an exchange with me and Facebook in 2019 on why Mark zuckerberg blew off a legal summons to appear before Parliament.
Facebook believes they are above Canadian law. For too long we have let the tech bros override domestic law and interfere in our democracy.

I belong to a Facebook group that provides peer support for women with #BreastCancer. This week the topic of the #Covid #vaccine came up. I cannot believe how deep and widespread vaccine mistrust and misinformation is and particularly in the US. It’s deeply concerning.
