Hopefully people are waking up to the fact that the Maga-aligned AI industry is invested in hijacking, censoring, & manipulating information about the world as they suck up data and privatize it, gaining power over entire populations.

Cara, de coracao, vai parecer estupidez:
Qual a necessidade do FB, se eleito, anistiar Vorcaro?
Ele aparelha a PF, culpa a esquerda, larga o Vorcaro… e Vorcaro desvive na prisão.
Quem confia nos Bolsonaro em 2026 é MUITO burro.

Bolsonaro is now suing to block 50 union leaders from social media!
