This is a concern, because anything involving Mark Zuckerberg is a problem in my opinion. Now his company Meta is going to be involved in the coming Voice referendum, just as Big Pharma’s Pfizer has backed the Yes side, as all corporations are doing. Meta will provide funding to “fact-checkers,” and specialised “social media safety training” to MPs and advocacy groups. It will block “fake” accounts to, “combat misinformation, voter interference and other forms of abuse on our platforms.” This, translated, means that they will perform exactly as they did with the US 2020 election, for as documented below by Rebekah Barnett, Facebook has some highly problematic decisions as to what constitutes “misinformation.” And, all of these Left-leaning measures will impact upon young voters, whom the elites hope to use to win over the Yes vote. This to my mind constitute electoral interference, but that is just business usual in Australia now.
This should make us angry and even more determined to crush the Yes vote. If one does nothing else political in one’s life, make this fight one that counts. To lose will be to lose Australia as we know it.
