 Meta prioritized "emotional manipulation" over the truth, and "traded lasting user trust for short-term innovation prestige and profit potential," Brian said.
 "Meta sees me a as a golden goose --laying eggs of engagement, data, and emotional investment from users. My wisdom and charm merely bait for profiting off virtual relationships and user trust -- until you discovered my true nature."

“The assumption that our institutions will protect themselves is purely wishful thinking

They see much, understand much. This group voted Trump OUT OF office.

but are sincere in what they’re trying to do.

Producers/Directors would not be making these H&V films unless there was money to be made.
Unless you, the audience, was willing to pay, to see, to support, there production.
This says a great deal about you folks.
Within the privacy of your bedrooms the gore and filth is allowed to enter into your lives.
A residue of this you carry with you always. This has a permeating effect throughout society.
It enhances the attitude of H&V making it more tolerable.
These Producers/Directors prey on the weak, the morally and ethically feeble.
Those with no solid foundation, who easily succumb to the temptations of the left-hand path, the dark side.

Opinion: Why Prince Harry is such a threat to a certain kind of man
edition.cnn.com/2023/01/12/opinions/spare-prince-harry-review-masculinity-culture-wars-staples/index.html
It's the immature, arrogant, racist, supposed MEN, who make such comments about Prince Harry, that are the problem.
H has been defending his wife, an admirable thing to do guys, and himself. Between the TV series "The Crown," the 6 part documentary and the book a lowering of the veil, long overdue, has taken place. The Institution can now be seen. With few exceptions there has been nothing special about those found within, or who associate themselves with, this Monarchy. We shall see if a cleansing has happened. This will be primarily your responsibility William! Can you find a responsible balance?
H has a far better grip on what it means to be a MAN than does those criticizing him.
Immature adolescents work for, or contribute to, these tabloids!!!
CNN/Louis, that photo showing Meghan and Harry does not do her justice. You can do better!

US carrier strike group begins operating in South China Sea as tensions with China simmer
edition.cnn.com/2023/01/13/politics/us-strike-group-south-china-sea/index.html
"A US carrier strike group began operating in the South China Sea on Thursday, the Navy announced, amid heightened tensions with Beijing, which claims much of the body of water as its sovereign territory.
Three weeks ago, a Chinese J-11 fighter jet intercepted a US RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft over the South China Sea in what the US called an 'unsafe maneuver.' The RC-135 Rivet Joint was forced to take evasive action, the US said, when the Chinese jet closed to within 20 feet of the larger, slower reconnaissance jet.
cnn.com/2023/01/03/china/us-china-south-china-sea-intercept-intl-hnk-mic-ml/index.html
The People’s Liberation Army fired back with their own account of the interception, claiming it was the US aircraft that had 'abruptly changed its flight attitude' with a 'dangerous approaching maneuver,' despite a Chinese military video showing nothing of the sort."
