  I'm sure they'll make some good rulings about the breakdown of democracy after democracy has broken down. https://twitter.com/...

  As you can see, for all its lip service, @Facebook does not care about free speech nor free and fair elections. https://www.fastcompany.com/ ...

  “At 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on election night, millions of ads could show up on Facebook saying something along the lines of, ‘We won—Donald Trump is president for four more years! MAGA!’—even if mail-in ballots haven't been fully counted.” https://www.fastcompany.com/ ...

  CAUTION: today's Facebook takedown does not mean China-interferes-in-the-2020- election. It means that “individuals in Fujian Province” spectacularly failed to interfere in the 2020 election. Remember: some active measures are only really activated by their post-takedown coverage…
