What’s working – not lurking – inside your “social media” platform?
“Now, take some time to fully digest and absorb what I have just shared…the U.S. government, at a fully unrestricted administrative level, is inside Twitter, Facebook, Meta, Insta, YouTube etc., running amok and extracting anything – including private messages… and they’re somehow worried about protecting us from TikTok data collection. Think about it.”
