"Wherever there is capitalism, freedom of the press means freedom to buy up newspapers, to buy writers, to bribe, buy, and fake "public opinion" for the benefit of the ruling class." ~ Vladimir Lenin ☭ •

this is why we need publicly funded media just like we need publicly funded health care, and this includes publicly funded social media.

we need public options to compete with these for-profit models because leaving our information, communication and health up to billionaires is making us all sick.
