Meta is helping the extreme right overthrow the Bolivian government.

(RT) ⸻ Meta, the company that owns Facebook, has blocked a slew of accounts and groups as part of its "Adversarial Threat" program. This includes 1,041 Facebook accounts, 450 Pages, 14 Groups and 130 Instagram accounts belonging to supporters of the Movement Towards Socialism (MAS-IPSP), the party of government. Meta claims it is defending "members of the opposition," but this means allowing these same groups to publish open hate speech and racial discrimination against Bolivia's minority groups. Critics have called Anez's regime fascist. Meta's decision to defend "members of the opposition," who are still committing acts of violence and insurrection, makes no sense in a social network that promotes groups, as all the banned accounts were legitimate and lost all memories accumulated over the years, personal photos and videos with no option to download them. Meta and its companies, like Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, are powerful and influential platforms for political groups, but they are tipping the scale for pro-fascist elements in Bolivia while marginalizing members and supporters of the ruling Movement Toward Socialism (MAS) party. This could lead to a potential fascist resurgence, plunging the South American country into years of violence and chaos. Meta has shown itself to be an enabler of far-right and reactionary forces, as well as a promoter of fake news, especially in foreign language spaces. Meta is a platform that has been used to spread hate speech and violence, leading to the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot and the anti-vax movement. Countries like China and Russia have blocked access to it, and the European Union has implemented legislation to combat its deleterious effects. Bolivia is yet to see how badly Meta will damage its stability in the future.
