LINK Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Calls Meta 'Cancer to Democracy'
New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez voiced her not-so-subtle disapproval of news that Facebook will change its corporate name to Meta in a tweet aimed at the social network.
"Meta as in 'we are a cancer to democracy metastasizing into a global surveillance and propaganda machine for boosting authoritarian regimes and destroying civil society... for profit!'" the Democratic congresswoman tweeted in response to CEO Mark Zuckerberg's Thursday announcement.

Meta is, in my view, an attempt to stop Congress from breaking up Facebook because each app (FB, Instag, and whatever else the android holds) will be only an interest, not the company. Hiding under a diff name is not unique and we'll see if Z's Rag is able to pull it off. I bet they will because America is a panzy nation with no ability to hold a rich white dude accountable for shit.
