I'd argue Musk and Zuck are two of the most dangerous men on the planet. Through their twisted ideology and profits they have destroyed countless lives by letting misinformation proliferate on their social media platforms. There's going to be a reckoning with these tools.

The Guardian wrote about a similar phenomenon a while ago 'free birth' social media groups of apparently hundreds of thousands of pregnant women who have sworn off all medical assistance in birth, have cult like leaders and ostracize each other when they seek external support. If you look at the numbers these kinds of groups do, 25 million views on YT, 5 million podcast downloads, half a million group members, this stuff is sending us straight back to the dark ages. We need some sort of mass education campaign or something. https://www.theguardian.com/world/ng-interactive/2025/nov/22...
