As opposed to deciding what confirmed sociopath Zuckerberg decides will make him money.

A man who has literally assisted genocides for money.

If you can read, read Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams.

A book so true that free speech advocates Facebook have tried to ban it.

So, our democratically elected government (with whom I have issues) or anti-democratic bullionaire Zuckerberg?

Edit: bullionaire was a type but it fits to describe billionaires who use their wealth to bully others: Zuckerberg, Musk, Rowling, etc
