In the wake of the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, Facebook has begun censoring posts about mailing abortion pills. It’s a reminder that even if you support the idea of tech censorship now, sooner or later your views will be on the 'raw side of the discussion'. Regardless of your political party affiliation, tribal communities, or any other kind of label you want to put on yourself or others, the mere idea of 'censorship' is not to anyone's advantage unless you are a person in power or a large corporation where you can leverage censorship to boost your own profits.
Most likely, you are like me...a peasant. Peasants - like us - must stick together against totalitarian corporations like Meta and those in power from ANY party because they are not acting in YOUR best interest, but rather THEIR OWN best interest.
If we can see through this madness and come together as a society, we can redirect our anger and frustration to the "powers that be" rather than bickering amongst ourselves because when it's ALL said and done, we will all be on the 'raw side of the deal'. The only people that win are the "Mark Zuckerberg's" and "Klaus Schwaub's" of the world.
Not YOU or I!
