    This is the actual dystopia we live in: US government-funded groups are working with corporate media outlets to pressure social media corporations to delete accounts for foreign media outlets, because the US government doesn't like what they're saying.https://twitter.com/RaniaKhalek/status/1096698518700507137 …

        VOA, BBC, France24, DW, Al Jazeera (Qatar-funded), TRT World (Turkey-funded), and more state-funded media outlets are all active on social media, but Facebook is giving in to pressure from neo-McCarthyites and deleting the accounts of Russia-funded mediahttps://twitter.com/RaniaKhalek/status/1096698518700507137 …

        Though I agree that is what it appears to be bu this isn't our government it's an oligarchy playing all sides to build narratives, create precedence, essentially laying cover fire down for each(controlled opposition operative)other as they push the same exact agenda.

        IMHO, it seems that Russians are the “useful idiots” weaponized by neoliberal ideology. If there was a clear picture of where Russians have USD, Euro, etc. denominated wealth, it might show a clear connection to duplicitous neoliberals—the real cause of crumbling civil society.

        I posted the Abby Martin on @jimmy_dore interview on Facebook . I posted it into a comment in a thread in a left leaning group. I received notice from FB saying it had been removed because of Facebook standards , but I could ask for a review, I did. My review was declined twice

        If only people could realize the USA's global-imperial outreach as such in all facets and realize that Twitter, Facebook, Google, Amazon and such aren't global businesses, but merely U.S. businesses. Alternatives can succeed through use.
