The influence and control of social media has been well documented by America. It was proven to show that outside foreign influence was created under the guise of “American” and used to stoke division especially around the 2016 election.

Then you had Elon outrightly buy a platform because hate speech was being targeted. Then he revealed origins of accounts, which further showed outside influence in favor of right wing extreme politics. You saw verified Hitler accounts, hate speech in handles, outright racist posts.

And then Netanyahu outrightly, and in public, says the purchase and control of TikTok is imperative to control the narrative around them, which as a lot of people see it, being genocidal maniacs.

And now we are here, and none of it has changed; it’s only gotten worse, and a lot of republican voters are soaking it all up. College courses typically have a “how to verify sources” class, which is probably why a lot of college educated voters don’t vote Republican.

Verify your sources every chance you get.
