Interesting read. :)

I'll tell you a story. I was living in Germany for a while a few years ago. At the time, Musk had just bought Twitter, and he was firing people left, right, and center (centre, outside America).

One lady software engineer boasted that Musk would never fire her because she was so good. I said, "Be careful. As soon as he has finished using you, he will."

The next thing I receive is a notice from Twitter Germany that this lady reported me, and that they had disregarded her request for me to be banned, because I hadn't broken the rules.

I had two notifications from Germany - same thing. People who worked for the organisation who used their personal power to ban and shadow ban people for no ethical reason, but malice and resentment.

When my daughter and I moved to Ireland, housing was in short supply. We got one through the American community. An American, who worked for Truth Dig, was keen to get rid of her cottage, and we were willing to take it over. As it happened, she was less than honest, and the landlord witnessed that, and she subsequently lost her deposit.

You know what she did? She had my daughter banned from every American fb group and called her a scammer.

We provided ample proof. She was listened to because she was a director of the publication.

Power matters.

As Marc Zuckerberg has just discovered, fact checkers can be biased. :)

So, yes, as Lincoln once said, or something to the effect of, "It's power that will tell you the character of a man." Most people do not have the integrity to be fair in positions of power. Sad, but true. :(
