>> Did Mark Zuckerberg Lie To Congress? I am shocked.. One Might Say He is A Decepticon. ➡️ Full Whistleblower Hearing.

 Hello everybody,

Welcome back to your favorite anti-social media blog! Follow us nowhere.

When we heard that Meta had desperately tried to stop this hearing from happening, we knew — this had to go up on the blog. It only confirms what we have been saying in conversations time and time again. And honestly? We think it’s safe to say nobody believed it.

Our point is this: on social media, you are bombarded with images of things you don’t have and because of the data they have collected on you, like age, career, marital status and your current situation, they assume you want. After targeting you and deliberately showing you 30 perfectly curated and edited photos of everything you currently lack on your 'For You' or 'Home' screen, you probably start to feel really low. Or, as we hear in the video, shortly after deleting a selfie you just posted because of self-doubt.

That is when the next post/ad shows up, offering you a ‘solution.’ You need to be prettier, need this surgery, own that car, show off this luxury article to achieve it. Buy now! Coincidence? No — the timing is just right. The perfect point of attack. Imagine emotional manipulation as someone’s sales strategy. Fiction? Oh please. We have been living in this reality for years.

If you remember, we started the Protect Your Brain (from Social Media) initiative on this blog back in 2020. 🧠

If this kind of psychological targeting is brutal for adults, imagine being a 13 to 19-year-old. No parents watching over their shoulder. They are left to their own devices, literally. No safeguards in place, because of a lack of regulation. It’s open season - for advertisers, for algorithms designed this way to generate the highest possible revenue, for harmful uncensored content and predators.

Some teenagers didn’t survive it.

Think for yourself. Break your phone addiction. Read a book. Go for a walk. Go to the theater. Spend quality time with loved ones. Phone off. Protect yourself from this digital insanity if the laws won’t do it. We are not on social media and we know why.
