Wait till you find out what Russia and China are doing on Facebook

What they might be doing is still not as much a threat to society as what the US and its allies do.

Yeah. I'm not buying for a minute that anything was "discovered", other than that they didn't pay their protection bill. Meta/Facebook seems to have tolerated worse and more obvious abuses for decades.

Any post about Israel on Threads still has a comment section filled with non-posting accounts that only comment water-muddying dreck about Hamas.

It's rampant. Hasbara is busy.
