    Am I allowed to say that I trust US Big Tech Corps more than my government and my police officers? Meta still is more ethical (even with the DEI programs cutoff and all the rest) than some corrupt governments.

      You’re allowed to say it, even believe it. But your analysis is faulty. Please add a little context and youll see why. Trust to do what? Corrupt with what goals? It seems you have no idea…

        I live in a country with an oppressive government who discriminates people based on race, religion, sexual orientation and already blatantly favours the wealthy with total impunity. Nothing can be worse than this.

      That is an insane proposition. You are trusting your elected officials less than a billionaire that sees you at best as a cow to milk. I cannot comprehend such a thought .

        You are not Italian. Even our government sees citizens as cows to milk, especially if you are an employee and cannot fraud the tax system like everyone else does.

          You elect the government. Not to mention they have way more oversight. There is a system of checks and balances. For sure it may seem it’s totally corrupt and not working, but that’s nothing compared to what the billionaires have in mind.
