I will never forgive anyone who voted for #Trump or anyone who didn't bother to vote. He hasn't even taken office yet, and already, the social effects are drastic as people feel safe now to cause harm to others.

People act like this is some sort of big pivot by Zuckerberg but Facebook's algorithms were spreading hate and desinformation long before Musk bought Twitter.
