One of the problems is that Facebook and all of their partners and apps snoop your phone and computers and sell it to third parties which makes them billions. That is their business model.

YOU ARE THE PRODUCT THAT THEY MAKE THEIR MONEY FROM!

BTW, there are ways disconnect from Facebook, Google, Apple, etc. It is not easy but it can be done.

“Politicians in India have also accused the Facebook platform of meddling in the country’s electoral democracy, with the social media giant reportedly giving “favourable treatment on election-related issues” to certain political groups.”

As opposed to giving “favourable treatment on election-related issues” to approved communist political groups and causes. No opposing views can be tolerated. The deplorables must follow the state approved propaganda, there can be no deviation from the plan, or else.

"1984: Winston Smith SparkNotes" Orwell's primary goal in 1984 is to demonstrate the terrifying possibilities of totalitarianism. The reader experiences the nightmarish world that Orwell envisions through the eyes of the protagonist, Winston.

In 1984 all information was given to the public by the "Ministry of Truth" which was a government agency. Winston Smith worked in the "Ministry of Truth" and daily changed information given to the public that supported "the truth" as determined by the government. It was exactly like Pravada and Ivestia in the old Soviet Union.

Orwell almost had it right. Today the media is the "Ministry of Truth." Oddly they need no government direction as our media today is philosophically socialist and supporters of a left wing government. That is why they were so rabidly anti-Trump. Trump was not a socialist and a threat to the status quo of government, media, and big business. It should be noted that big business is pro crony capitalism and has no use for a true free market. Elon Musk is the rare exception

It should be noted the socialism is always followed by government tyranny. It is that simple.

If you want to understand politics today, please read 1984 and look at what is happening in Canada.

Countries should just block their app for several months before elections. Surely that is fair.

Wait a minute. Meta owns WhatsApp? I just downloaded it yesterday, because it claims encrypted messaging.
