Starve the Machine Organizer Toolkit | We’re working to migrate people off of Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp), TikTok, and Twitter because they are collaborating with the Trump regime. Meta recently took No Kings IG account offline during their Vote Early actions. There is a risk of them manipulating their algorithms to suppress pro-democracy activism. There is a risk of them surveilling activists and movements in order to support state repression. The money these corporations make goes into the pockets of billionaires who are using it to dismantle democracy. We’re organizing people to move off these platforms.
