Zuckerberg owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post.

Elon Musk owns Twitter.

When multi-billionaires take control of our most vital platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

@delta @matrix @signalapp @threemaapp @snikket_im @cark @princelysum I can strongly recommend Signal. Been using for a few years, it works well across OSs, all family and friends are on there now and it’s highly functional. Adding new stuff all the time. And privacy and security are through the roof. I think of #Signal to WhatsApp as #Mastodon to Twitter.
