It’s merely a toxic wasteland with a bad business model. That’s right, Mark Zuckerberg uses your DATA and has the power to not only manipulate democracy but he also profits off you and what do you get in return?

His entire business model is architected around destroying organic reach so he could be king of paid advertising. Facebook is merely an advert agency and for the right price you could even rig an election.

It’s a tool, your data is your digital footprint and God knows how many times that has been sold to advert agencies alike.

I would say delete that garbage platform but we all know 2 billion people on there doesn’t have an alternative method to stay in touch with the world— or the ‘world’ that Facebook shows you.

Not only does the algorithm suppresses organic reach, it also develops these specific targeting practices that curates the media that shows up in your feed.

One company in particular who’s business model is based in data manipulation or ‘Propaganda’ is Cambridge Analytica.

A company who manipulated the information the Iranian people were receiving in an attempt to destabilize areas of the Middle East with governments I won’t disclose. They’ve successfully pioneered a way to use these methods to manipulate specific ‘precinths’ as they called them.

These were areas or chunks of people who were drawn to a certain type of belief, thus making them vulnerable to data manipulation.

They had their first operation in the west after only being able able to work in eastern middle Asia and the Middle East.

Their first operation was during Brexit, when Britain needed to inform its citizens on why they needed to leave the EU (an action that is now being scrutinized by the people of Britain as they raise questions on whether or not they made a mistake by trying to leave the EU.)

Their second operation in the west was in America, this time their targets were poor Americans who desperately needed something to believe in; or has mainstream media like ‘The New York Times’ calls them, “Deplorable’s”.

I won’t expand more on the details of this for my own reasons but I urge you to take the time to do your own research. However this inevitably lead to Cambridge analytica altering the course of democracy in the United States.

The company has since closed down after being investigated by congress and all its members had since been underground.

As a stipulate I will note that It is very easy for you to be manipulated if you simple are unaware of the dangers that lies in the hands of billionaires who are really just looking to get an even bigger bonus no matter the cost to you and your reality.

Get off that garbage app and get rooted in the reality of what zuckerberg actually built.
