Be Part Of A New Era Of Social Media

Our world is shaped by the influence of big tech, and Mark Zuckerberg’s decision this week to overturn independent fact-checking and moderation on his platforms is a profoundly damaging step for individuals and society.

While cloaked in the disguise of “freedom,” this move serves only to fuel the control and division that mainstream social platforms have wielded to dominate and monetize us all, transforming billions of people into the largest unpaid workforce in human history with every scroll and post.

Rather than empowering the masses, Zuckerberg is suppressing diverse voices, elevating a select few, and deepening divides by dictating what we see and how we feel. He has openly admitted this shift will bring “more toxic content to the platform,” further weaponizing algorithms to drive profits at the expense of our collective well-being. And perhaps most insidiously, this decision is being sold to us under the guise of free speech.
