Agreed, except to 'walk away from social media"? Are you kidding me, this is our only voice and it's the real 5th Gen battlefield, and we are winning some now as Caitlin's article points out and I know, and it's in the air! It's the most free speech we the People have now where it still exists, as here, till the Social Marxist censors get rid of it all "for the People's Good".

Well then, we need to develop an alternative social media, don't we. While we think we are winning, Facebook is processing our comments to get a better understanding of each of our psychologies, so that they can better target us in the interest coaxing us to accept their narratives. They employ psychologists, psychiatrists, neurologists and other behavioral scientists to help develop algorithms that will be able to peg what motivates us more precisely, and these algorithms operate in the realm of microseconds, faster than our minds can build defenses against them.

Facebook is not like a public telephone systems where the public has actionable rights to their privacy, Facebook is a private corporation with investors whose only interest is that Facebook be profitable. Listen to one of the founders of Facebook who left Facebook for ethical reasons.

There is already alternate Social Media, like right here, but there are larger groups for sure, like Gabb and Telegram and others still forming. I agree FB is doing all you say and much, much more. They will be the 'informants' in the end of the 'good people' vs the 'bad people'. I quit them, and it was fine, everyone who has an ounce of backbone should quit those Progressive spies. But they inserted themselves into business and that has so many with a dog collar and leash on now as there isn't quite as good an alternative yet for that other than your own website or other media types...podcasts etc. on the 'free speech' channels. The Dark Web underground is still there too. We have platforms...especially for countering The They. We are in a 5th Gen War right now and we are winning some very strategic battles.

Thanks, yes there are many of us out there working to get alternatives on the market. Stay tuned. Unfortunately the common carriers like AT&T, Comcast, Verizon, etc. still own the wires/fiber optics over which our communications must travel. Not sure how we fix that problem after so many decades of deregulation.

Yes, it's The They and they control regulation and deregulation, and have the entire government behind either, to protect and defend it. We have to get rid of the agencies and their administrative law, for which none of US voted. Glad you are working for alternatives.
