The myth that they represent the people. If the people question them they are quickly silenced.

It is run by AI admins now

Scammers sometimes exploit this blurring in fake email addresses.

To be fair $18 billion is not inconsequential. Meta Platform’s net income for the twelve months ending June 30, 2026 was $68.098 B so that is 26% of their net profits. A pretty severe hit.
