Mass protests are an implicit threat of potential violence even when they are entirely peaceful.
They serve to keep state power in check by demonstrating “there are more of us than you so fix your shit.”
The state knows this, which is why its agents often respond to them with unprovoked violence.

The mass-injecting of AI profiles into Meta's platforms has nothing to do with "supporting small businesses" and everything to do with artificially controlling social media trends and narratives. It is a tool for propaganda, not creatives.
