I agree, but what riles me is the interference by foreign corporations, such as Pfizer, Meta, and Rio Tinto in an incredibly significant AUSTRALIAN constitutional referendum.
Meta, Facebook’s parent company, is the latest international mega-company to get involved in Australia’s upcoming referendum regarding an Indigenous Voice to Parliament, after Pfizer pledged its support for the Yes campaign earlier this year.Meta will provide an undisclosed amount in funding to ‘fact-checkers,’ will provide specialised ‘social media safety training’ to MPs and advocacy groups, and will block fake accounts in its bid to, “combat misinformation, voter interference and other forms of abuse on our platforms.”Meta’s platforms include Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, Whatsapp and new Twitter competitor, Threads.
