| | | Hey all you meme warriors, | | | | | | | Let's get right to it — we posted a meme of Xi Jinping on our Instagram with the caption "Hey Xi! Your ass is too tight." An hour later, four people had seen it. Us, the artist, and two others. Instagram pulled the post from people's feeds, and they did it automatically. What the hell! But maybe it was a coincidence . . . shadowbanning makes you think you're seeing things. So we posted again, but this time we started with, "Hey X*! Your ass is too tight." Spot the difference? One lousy asterisk . . . and the post was doing numbers. That's a global algorithmic ban on telling Xi his ass is too tight. | | | | | | | | We all know social platforms shadowban, but they still say they don't. They keep lying about it, and we keep letting them. And it matters! Social media changed our media landscape irrevocably. For most people, this is the main source of news and public discourse. And we've lost it completely to a few lousy billionaires who are content to let any petty tyrant impose their twisted vision of the world on the rest of humanity. Well it may be too late . . . but we're going down swinging. | | | | | | | | Time for the Mental Liberation Front to take the fight to the mindlords who've been screwing with our minds for far too long. Let's start with Zuck . . . send us your most powerful, provocative, going-down-swinging memes to take aim at the android-in-chief and we'll do our part. Then start flooding their support lines, clogging up their networks with demands to OPEN THE CODE. We're not saying you should go as far as DDOSing their services, but we're not saying you shouldn't. We've put up with these tech giants getting away with their mindfuck censorship for far too long. Now let’s build the MLF into a global movement and start taking our mental space back by force. | | | | | | | For the Wild, The Third Force | | | | | | | | | Get Adbusters magazine here | | | | | | | | Adbusters Media Foundation, 1243 West 7th Avenue, Vancouver, BC, V6H 1B7, Canada | | | | | | |
