Just switch them all off. The future is the Fediverse. Don't feed these greedy corporations that spread hate and are harming the world. Vote with your wallet. Abandon. Boycott. Etc. :-)
Disinformation can and does spread on the fediverse too. The only way to stop it is to teach people how to validate information.
Hahahahahaah in your dreams. Politicians can be bought.

They allowed misinformation and propaganda because the foreign money & connection is too good.
