    The Linke is very present on social media too. I remember watching Deutsche Welle English and they compared the number of accounts and number of followers for each party in the German parliament and The Linke was not that far behind AfD. The problem is that the platforms they are on are owned by uberwealthy, right-wing billionaires.

    We need a #WealthTax and for more people on the fediverse where companies don’t control the algorithms and surface right-wing stuff all the time.

      I think private people or companies should not be allowed own big media, regardless of Internet, tv, print or other media, because it’s easily exploited by people with money for their own goals.
