    If you thought media consolidation in the USA was bad look how bad the technorevolution has been. Meta controls the information of 2.9B people via its Facebook network. The ability for platforms these platforms to control the narrative is unrivaled and shows just how impactful being banned on any of these platforms could be for your voice. These companies should have been regulated a long time ago but the Government doesn’t want that because it can now censor people with a corporate veil. When you are being censored for talking against the vaccine best believe it’s done on the Government’s behalf. These companies control how we as a Black nation are able to communicate with one another.

    Meta alone has 7.5B Monthly Active Users…their algorithms determine what is valuable to these 7.5B people, you think Black empowerment is on the menu? NOPE!

    Do you really want Silicon Valley white boys dictating what we can talk about and when? I say hell no!

    You ever look at brands? When I found out MARS, you know, the candy company... IS OUT THERE MAKING CAT TREATS I lost it. What they do is buy up all the smaller businesses, brands, and competition so they control everything. Tech is doing this now. Most people don't even notice or maybe they don't care but it is a problem. We now have a government that is run by corporations.

    it's called MONOPOLY

    the board game came out in the 30's Most if not all white people played it. It basically taught them what we see is going on with tech companies and every other big industry.

    They turned their culture into a board game is what you’re saying. That’s an interesting way to think about it.

    they've been training their kids for generations about business/takeover, while we watched Muppets and power rangers, their kids were learning about taxes ,business takeovers and "Go straight to jail" (monopoly card)

    I actually played this game when I was a kid a few times. I always got bored with it. I preferred the spin-off versions like the Pokemon one. lol

    But I see what you are saying. Monopolizing the market and keeping as much power, wealth, and control in your own bloodlines seems to be the end goal for these people. I don't look at all white people though, there are millions out there who are struggling just as much as black families, they just don't have the added pressures. They have easier ways out.

    The ones that are the problem are the ones who hold the shares and power over the corporations. They have dominated and taken control of capitalism to the point where this country functions as a corporatism nation now. They just keep pushing it too to the point where it doesn't matter what color you are, if you aren't in the club you can kick rocks.
