@DarrigoMelanie
Trump’s billionaire allies now control X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, TikTok, Truth and Twitch.
They own Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ and NY Post — plus 185+ local tv stations and news in 100 markets.
They control the AI you're asking for answers, the algorithms feeding you content, your personal data you've given up for access, and the devices you rely on.
The news and your privacy are now what Trump and his billionaire pals say it is.
This is all by design.
