Listen when @tamishaharris explains when there is an agenda to erase, alter, suppress the presence and history of Black people on government social media, then anything Black is political and is a political statement.

This is why it’s imperative that we own, use and support new social media apps.

@tamishaharris explains that we have to invest in our own community’s infrastructure, because that investment is an investment in our collective success. It opens doors and creates a ripple effect of opportunity for others who seek to do the same.

The new Sora 2 app by Chat GPT crosses the line.

MAKING MARTIN LUTHER KING YELL LIKE A MONKEY IS HATE, NOT INNOVATION.

This is not just offensive, it is a violation of name, image, and likeness.

There has never been a more important time for Black people and Black culture to take control and ownership of social media.

Black culture and black people are what power these apps to billion dollar valuations.

let’s stand up together and build up something that gives us control of our power.

The right-wing billionaires have bought up every social media platform. Their playbook is clear: purge democracy, highlight autocracy, silence liberal agendas, and amplify racist ones.

But where are the liberal billionaires who believe in freedom of speech?

What are we going to do about it?

The Democratic Party didn’t see right-wing extreme conservatives buying up media platforms and social platforms right under their noses.

You don’t listen to the people who live this culture and this infrastructure 24/7.

Now you’re going to be playing catch-up for the next 2 to 6 years.

TikTok to America is moving forward.

This will require every user to download a brand new app. The algorithm will now be controlled by the U.S.

Do you plan to move over to this new, government-controlled TikTok, or will you be looking for another platform w/o government algorithmic interference?
