... Facebook allows President Zelenskyy to speak - that's how I see his updates, unedited. I like the screen better on FB, but I'm sure Twitter has the same... they do not allow Trump.

Regardless of the target. It could be whatever these gilded fuckwits want or wish. The algorithms can even start a movement inorganically. Make people think about things that would not have ever occurred to them. See Q but an AI for shits and giggles.

Just put a self aware AI into those Boston Dynamic robots and get it over with.
