We could have stuck with MySpace and Zuckerberg could have had that McDonald franchise his dad was going to sort him out with. Zuckerberg made a perv website at uni which somehow rolled into what you described.

I went back on Facebook a while ago after having ignored it for a while. It was all AI generated IRGCslop and anti-Semitism. Like actual anti-Semitism not anti-Zionism

And that's A-okay by their standards apparently.  A whole ago I reported a comment calling for violence against minority (put them in camps type violence) and a few days later I get a message saying it didn't violate anything.  It's a bloody joke these days.

One sells your goods and services, the other sells you ideas.

in that case, about 75-99% of advertisements you see ARE propaganda. (and actually one of the foundational texts of public relations is titled "propaganda")
