   > Imagine an alternate 2025 where Kamala Harris won the presidency. Would Meta be hiring conservative pundits and scaling back content moderation? Of course not.

   It's worth noting that (a) all of this is happening under a biden presidency and (b) the gop have been threatening meta for years about this

   in fact, they'd probably do stuff like this under kamala to demonstrate their "impartiality"

     @tef @sarahdalgulls +100.

     I feel like it's also worth adding to what you've said that while many of us are zero-focused on the presidency, segregationists have engaged in these smaller scope assaults continuously. It really is paying off, for them, too.

     Ultimately, what can the president do to stop stuff like this anyway? All of the onslaught is from private sources. Civil suits are about as integrated into the country's law as it gets.
