The degree to which this platform has fueled disinformation in the COVID-19 pandemic has been enormous. This may be hyperbole, but it does not appear to be far off.

Zuckerberg is given free reign to assist in destroying our country all the while contributing next to nothing to it in any real financial terms. He averages less than a 4% tax rate. It's almost as though some have a vested interest in helping him spread the garbage they want spread. In fairness, by nearly all accounts, he's always been a prick.

He has 0 donations to the Democratic Party (one donation to San Francisco committee, a bunch of tiny donations to whoever he was working with on various projects like Newark) www.opensecrets.org/donor-lookup/results?name=mark+zuckerbergElvado logic : Richard Blumenthal can't say anything about the use of fake accounts by minors that violate TOS and Facebook overlooks them completely if Cory Booker took a tiny donation 8 years ago when they were working on Newark schools.

Take a look at Pennsylvania.

Take a look at Pennsylvania. Maybe you could support your argument by linking to it like a person who wants to show their position is backed by evidence.

No one seemed to turn down his Grants to Democrat Party election efforts…. Now you're suddenly concerned with ethics? This is a shocking development. I don't recall you once in the last 4+ years posting about ethics issues during the Trump administration. That seems to me like leaving hypocrisy well in your rear-view and moving on to whatever is far beyond it. I'm not saying you don't have a point. I'm saying it's incredible that that's the sort of thing that bothers you now when far worse things, apparently, didn't move the needle for you one iota during the previous administration.

He's not worried about ethics, he's complaining about Zuckerberg donating money to election offices so people can vote. The money Zuckerberg donated to individual politicians has been peanuts, the money they passed out to election efforts was large. The only lens Republicans see this through is one of their own naked self interest - someone donating a bunch of money to counteract their efforts to disenfranchise people and allow people to vote - they see that as a partisan act. Of course now Republicans legislatures in swing states are trying to ban any private donation to election efforts so they can leave places strategically underfunded, understaffed, and disenfranchise people again.
