Now you see why I refused @Meta's money when I ran Snopes. I knew exactly what they were trying to do. I'm a woman and I know my history.

I'm seeing some of the more loathsome defenders of social media (you know who you are) saying, essentially, well what are you supposed to do when law enforcement comes a-calling? Please. Big Tech's been manipulating international governments to suit its own needs for years and

now you are helpless in the face of some two-bit podunk cop trying to prosecute his ex-girlfriend for an abortion or whatever? Spare me that absolute bullshit. Social media is no friend to #1A and never has been.

I love the internet. I love the voices we can hear with it. Social media giants aim to destroy all that with their corporate data theft, their arbitrary and weak "moderation," their co-opting of journalism and media across the board. They can fuck themselves.
