AOC's little screed against Facebook rings almost as hollow as she does

No one ever mistook AOC for brilliant. No one who wasn’t an idiot, anyway.

See, AOC’s pretty fed up with Facebook. You know, because it’s a big company with lots of money:

It’s almost as if Facebook’s monopolistic mission to either own, copy, or destroy any competing platform has incredibly destructive effects on free society and democracy 🧐

Remember: WhatsApp wasn’t created by Facebook. It was an independent success. FB got scared & bought it 💬 https://t.co/dGVwza9leR

If Facebook’s monopolistic behavior was checked back when it should’ve been (perhaps around the time it started acquiring competitors like Instagram), the continents of people who depend on WhatsApp & IG for either communication or commerce would be fine right now. Break them up.

Facebook is just one big money monster, swallowing up competitors like Instagram. Which, incidentally, is where AOC likes to post about Facebook being evil:

Maybe one congresswoman with a penchant for railing against Facebook shouldn’t be using Instagram. Just a thought.

And the icing on the cake?

Worth noting AOC paid more to Facebook ($5.6M+) than any other Congressional campaign during the 2020 cycle. https://t.co/UBKeZ7O2NB

So AOC helped to make Mark Zuckerberg richer.

She's a total fraud but her supporters eat up everything she says..

Time for her to put her money where her mouth is, no?

Hi @AOC — If you oppose FB’s “monopolistic” behavior, why not take a bold stand and delete your account? https://t.co/BjdP7oKi8Q
