Oh shit was it Byte dance that spread RW propaganda and radicalized a generation of young men in support of one political candidate?

Oh no that was Meta (fb at the time).

How about a company disproportionately allowing one specific sub to violate content and user policies for months, years before acting, effectively allowing Russian propaganda bots to build a grassroots movement from what strated as a parody sub? (r/thedonald, Reddit).

Google has done the same thing via YT, effectively driving specific demographics to right wing conspiracy ๐Ÿฅœ job. At the same time they suppress leftist viewpoints and availability if leftist content.

Big tech wants RW fascism in the US.
