Social media alternatives
Jeanna - We all have social media. Facebook allows false and misleading claims to be advertised while twitter has banded all political ads. Jeanna doesn’t believe that free speach protects the right to amplification of speach. There are rules against of amplification, for example the fcc has broadcasting rules. The issue is social media hasn’t caught up yet. Jeanna has deleted the facebook app from her phone and she’s started using facebook less. Mastidon is an alternative and the are many things built on GNU social.
