A new disclosure reveals Instagram owner Meta spent more than ever on lobbing Congress and the White House as legislation to potentially ban its competitor, TikTok, was drawn up and passed.
they can’t really do that because that would be defamation and they would be sued for it. Bribery is a crime and while it is effectively the same as lobbying from our perspective, one is legal and one is not and a media outlet can’t just accuse someone of a crime without evidence unless they want to close up shop
When in practice Corruption is not investigated or prosecuted, nobody ever gets convicted of Corruption, the Media can’t talk about Corruption as it would otherwise be defamation, hence the country has no Corruption.
I haven’t lived in the US but I lived in the UK and this was exactly how Britain had “no Corruption”.
Except the only thing that will be prosecuted, or adjudicated, is the claim of libel entered by Meta, for suggesting their millions are anything other than legal contributions to something or other.
There is a solution, though, staring us all right in the face.
Those of us paying attention have spotted long ago that the Ju$tice System is mainly a tool for violent enforcement of the power of the moneyed and well-connected elites on the majority of the population behind a charade of “rules are rules” and it being just an independent and a fair mechanism for equal application of the “rules defined by Society” to all (all of which is nowadays and in a painlfully obvious way, clearly a bundle of lies).
All it takes is comparing how the Ju$tice System reacts to merelly the peons breaching uneven contracts with big companies or to the occupation of the property of the very wealthy by the poor, compared to how it reacts to violent crime in poor neighbourhoods, to see how their Ju$tice is not in any way form or shape Fair or Just.
Maybe it’s less so in some countries and more so in others, but nowhere is it actually fair and independent.
