It's a political attack against Mark Zuckerberg's upcoming presidential run. The propaganda machines are starting now by painting a picture of Silicon Valley elite being out of touch, dangerous, etc. etc.
- notfromhere 9y agoI'm perfectly happy if FB's shady doings keep Zuckerberg out of the presidency. Last thing we need is a president with a propaganda mill

- stevenwoo 9y agoOne might look at the founding of Fox News and its relationship to the GOP and be forgiven for thinking the last thing has already happened, even though it only reaches diehard GOP voters.
- emodendroket 9y agoWell, sure, but that's a little different than direct control.
- notfromhere 9y agoThis would be more like...if Trump ran Breitbart for a decade, and Breitbart had a following consisting of most of the US population and could easily be used to sway huge portions of the electorate because you spent the last decade figuring out how to manipulate your viewers. Probably a better example is if the GOP owned a private intelligence firm that had data on every citizen and could manipulate what they saw/read/said
- rhizome 9y agoAre you saying that any people against a Z presidency are a result of propaganda?
- s73ver_ 9y agoIn that case, I'm fine with it. The last thing this country needs is another out of touch billionaire thinking they're qualified to run the country just because they have a bunch of money.
