Social Media Platforms are Undetectable Modern Forms of Colonization and Slavery

Colonization is the establishment of social, political and economic control over a territory by a foreign power. Slavery is the state or condition of a person forced to work or do something unwillingly/unconciously and/or without pay or compensation or consent. It can also be a form of forced labour or child labour.

Social media can be seen as a form of colonization and slavery due to several factors. Firstly, social media platforms, typically owned and controlled by large corporations, have the power to influence and manipulate users, much like colonizers exert control over colonized peoples. The algorithms used by these platforms dictate what content users see, shaping their thoughts and opinions in a way that serves the interests of the platform owners.

Secondly, social media users often become enslaved to these platforms, constantly checking for updates and notifications, and feeling the need to constantly curate their online persona to maintain visibility and relevance. This can create a sense of addiction and dependency on social media, leading users to prioritize their online presence over real-world relationships and experiences.

Furthermore, social media platforms collect vast amounts of personal data from users, often without their knowledge or consent, which can be used for targeted advertising and surveillance. This exploitation of personal data can be seen as a form of economic colonization, as the platform owners profit from the commodification of users’ personal information.

In summary, social media can be seen as a form of colonization and slavery due to its ability to control and manipulate users, create dependency and addiction, and exploit personal data for profit.

One specific example is how WhatsApp can be seen as a form of colonization and enslavement through its privacy policies and data collection practices. WhatsApp, owned by Facebook, has faced controversy over its handling of user data and privacy concerns.

When WhatsApp updated its privacy policy in early 2021, users were required to agree to share their personal information, including phone numbers and transaction data, with Facebook and its subsidiaries. Users were essentially forced to consent to these data-sharing practices in order to continue using the platform, leading to widespread backlash and concerns over privacy violations.

This coerced consent can be seen as a form of colonization, as WhatsApp exerts control over its users' personal data and manipulates them into agreeing to terms that may not align with their privacy preferences. Users are essentially enslaved to the platform, as they have limited choice in how their data is collected, used, and shared.

Furthermore, WhatsApp's data collection practices can be seen as exploitative, as the platform profits from the monetization of user data through targeted advertising. This economic colonization of personal information further reinforces the power dynamic between the platform and its users, creating a sense of dependency and subservience to WhatsApp.

Overall, the privacy policies and data collection practices of WhatsApp can be seen as a form of colonization and slavery, as they exploit users' personal information and exert control over their online interactions

WHY MY DAUGHTER CAN'T MARRY POOR MAN - ELON MUSK
Elon Musk explains why his daughter can’t marry a poor man.

A few years ago there was a conference in the United States on investment and finance.

One of the speakers was Elon Musk and during the question and answer session, he was asked a question that had everyone laughing.

If he, the richest man in the world, could accept that his daughter marry a poor or modest man.

His answer can change something in everyone.

Elon Musk - First of all, understand that
Wealth does not mean having a fat bank account. Wealth is primarily the ability to create wealth.

*Example:* Someone who wins the lottery or gambling. Even if he wins 100 millions is not a rich man: He is a poor man with a lot of money. That's the reason why 90% of the lottery millionaires become poor again after 5 years.

You also have rich people who have no money.

*Example:* Most entrepreneurs.
THEY are already on the road to wealth even though they have no money, because they are developing their financial intelligence and that is wealth.

*How are the rich and the poor different?*

To put it simply: The rich may die to become rich, while the poor may kill to become rich.

*If you see a young person who decides to train, to learn new things, who tries to improve himself constantly, know that he/she is a rich person.*

If you see a young person who thinks that the problem is the state, and who thinks that the rich are all thieves and who criticizes constantly, know that he is a poor person.

The rich are convinced that they just need information and training to take off, the poor think that others must give them money to take off.

In conclusion, when I say that my daughter will not marry a poor man, I am not talking about money. *I'm talking about the ability to create wealth in that man.*

Excuse me for saying this, but most criminals are poor people. When they are in front of money, they lose their mind, that's why they rob, steal etc... For them it is a grace because they don't know how they could earn money by themselves.

One day, the guard of a bank found a bag full of money, he took the bag and went to give it to the bank manager.

People called this man an idiot, but in reality this man was just a rich man who had no money.

One year later, the bank offered him a job as a receptionist, 3 years later he was a customer manager and 10 years later he manages the regional management of this bank, he manages hundreds of employees and his annual bonus exceeds the amount he could have stolen.

Wealth is first of all a state of mind.

So … Are you rich or poor?
