Stop using Facebook and Instagram until November manton.org
@manton Sadly, I expect their usage will only increase as the election draws near. No matter their toxicity, they flourish as the place people go whenever they feel unease.
@manton I suggest the same thing in this post. It’s almost crunch time now. We can’t afford people having their behaviors manipulated prior to the elections.
I also think people need to watch The Great Hack documentary on Netflix before the elections.
@manton Deleted my Facebook account in March and Instagram account in May. Outside of close friends and immediate family, no one noticed.
My immediate family uses WhatsApp, so I hear from them often. I’m not ready to cut all ties with my family to send a political message.
@manton I saw The Social Dilemma last night. Even though I was generally aware of the content it’s absolutely chilling hearing it from the people responsible.
At least stop reading Facebook & YouTube algorithmic feeds, and turn off all #socialMedia notifications.
