Politico is still owned by a fascist billionaire.
That makes it even worse no? If establishment mouthpiece is vaguely concerned then things aren't going great.
And the U.S.
When did that happen in the US?
It happened during last week's No Kings Rally, when Facebook shut down all No Kings pages, and they couldn't Livestream or post updates throughout the day. It was clearly deliberate suppression.
There's a big difference between that and a nationwide blackout though.
TikTok forced sale is closest. You don't need blackout if social media is cooperative.
I don't see a reason why anyone should care about what Gabby has to say.
This tracks with what Pavel Durov of Telegram has to say about France. Him having French passport didn't really work out.
After he was arrested for by France for all thoses crimes that are happening on his platform, you shouldn't trust anything Durov says about France. He should still be in jail
