If the game is rigged. How can you expect to win? I feel a sense of urgency for mainstream politicians and media to wake up and start the move away from only using the algorithmically manipulated billionaire socials, before the coming onslaught with large sums in support of "the resistance".
It's a well established fact in several studies, that these algorithms favour far right content and nurtures conflict, not democratic discourse.

The @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu, @bundestag@social.bund.de and @Bundesregierung@social.bund.de have been commendable in laying the first foundations ๐ช๐คฉ๐ for this shift by their active participation in the Fediverse. ๐ค ๐ช๐บ But what about our leading politicians? What about various parliaments and goverments around Europe? Like my own in Sweden. #DefendDemocracy
