      Not really, no. If it was about how media platforms in general are used for propaganda then maybe it would be.

        My point is that, regardless of any personal opinions on the matter, it is a strange post for a place called “Technology”, as it is definitely a “Politics” post.

          without the technology involved though (from a Big Tech company), the reach of the propaganda would be much lower.

          Why would propaganda to convince people that a genocide is acceptable be considered just politics? Shit like this falls into many buckets because it’s important to spread awareness across as many communities as possible. Who knows, if hundreds of millions more people knew what the nazis were doing in the 30s, maybe it would’ve been stopped earlier
