It's important to have friends in these trying times

Meta spent $26.3 million lobbying for "age verification" bills in 45 states. The bills don't regulate social media. They regulate your OS

$2 billion in nonprofit grants and lobbying records:

1. Meta's lobbyist wrote Louisiana's age verification law. The sponsor confirmed it. It forces OS-level surveillance. Meta's platforms? Zero requirements

2. Meta covertly funded an astroturf "child safety" group to push these bills nationally. It has no EIN, no incorporation records. It doesn't legally exist

3. $70M+ into state super PACs, deliberately fragmented across databases to dodge centralized tracking

4. On every social media bill, Meta fights. On the one bill regulating operating systems, Meta "monitors"

Meta profits from harvesting data. They wrote laws forcing every device to broadcast your identity through a system-level API. They built the surveillance. They wrote the mandate. They exempted themselves
