🔥 Finally an EU leader says it out loud:

“We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies.”

@DefendDemocracy when one follows this link one sees an excellent speech on a great website pointing out the urgency of acting against toxic social media, and on the top and bottom of every part of that website there are icons pushing people into those toxic social media platforms !?! Icons on your website take people from a neutral environment (a website) and actively push them into a toxic algorithm environment. Replace the icons on your website with Fediverse icons! http://xodus.online
