People forget that Facebook pretty much set the stage for this.
They got caught manipulating user feeds for the purpose of psychological manipulation without their consent. They pushed "happy news" to some people and "regular news" to others, they pushed smiling pictures up for some, and unhappy pictures for others, and observed the increased depression they caused in some, and the increased "happy" posts made by others.
They even ended up in court for it and argued it was "for the greater good" because they just wanted to know how to "make people feel happy."
Nothing was ever done to stop them. Tacit approval was given for this kind of experimentation, and now we see it openly happening in the real world as well.
Is it any wonder that social media is so adept at controlling people and narratives after a decade of uninterrupted psychological experimentation on it's user base?

Its psychological experimenting without an ethics board.
I swear the test run for the coof was plastic bags and straws.
I knew we were fucked when in 1 month in my town we went from no one giving a shit to everything banned.
I attribute this entirely to Facebook manipulation.
Anyone who still uses Facebook is a FOOL!!!!
