Marc Elias (Democracy Docket) will be leaving Meta (FB, Instagram, Threads) by the end of the week [View all]

After the role it played in helping Trump in 2016, many of us deleted Facebook. Now all the Meta Platforms, including Threads, is being transformed to help Trump in 2025. It is time for us to go. I'm out by end of the week.
