I remember I was talking to a dev who worked for Facebook and he mentioned that big tech shadowbans users and suppress posts which can affect them or the ruling government and nobody will notice it and eventually all thr outrage dies down.
Gave me an example of how people have accepted phones without headphone jack, microsd etc. And are now okay with it.when apple and google wants something to sell, they shadownban and suppress posts that create outrage.
Another example was Facebook pays billions to ISP in 3rd world countries to lobby their government and then pays phone manufactures to preinstall Facebook so it never gets banned even after toppling government, fake news, killings , terrorism etc.
So basically using decentralised apps and avoiding apps controlled by single entity especially built in US us the only way you don't get brainwashed.
Thanks a lot for the information, friend. If you want, we can talk privately?
You can ask questions here , will be useful to to others also
