ban it in Canada ... for crying out loud. We can't keep losing democracy thanks to big tech.

I'm pretty sure more people look at these ads than watched TV political ads and I think they had more restrictions that these ever did.

Even worse facebook is now mostly populated by mid aged + folks which are more susceptible to fake videos. This is a super targeted, very well organised and possibly with facebook execs fully on board (and making tons of money out of it) campaign. This is a cancer where billionaires make more billions at the cost of fucking up democracy and people's lives. It should be treated in accordance to its true nature and surgically removed.

Big tech IS the emerging oligarchy. Look to the south… We need to preserve our education—first and foremost.
