If you think they don't, read the TOS.

No need for. Solar panels and batteries are at an historically low price and will even become more affordable. There’s simply no economical justification for nuclear energy.
How many solar panels and batteries are needed to power every electrical grid on the planet?
Where do we locate all of the panels and batteries?
Where do we get all of the materials for all of the panels and batteries?
What is the total cost to operate and maintain that global power grid?
What is the lifespan of the grid?
What happens to all of the panels and batteries at end of life, and how much does it cost?
Because social media is just that: media. They’re platforms for ads and marketing that are more akin to broadcast media with a parasocial interactive twist. Contrast that with social networking which facilitates connections between actual people.

When you are all caught up I won't be here to finish whatever it is you are trying for here.
Because message boards have existed both in physical and online for a god damn millenia before fucking facebook and myspace were a whisper in the balls of the creator’s fathers. I have no fucking idea who any of you clown shoes are and I don’t fucking care either.
Children playing show and tell is more social media than online message boards.
Cool story.

Have a good day.
Your claim was "No tax dollars!".
I proved you wrong immediately.
Justify your support of one genocide and condemnation of the other all you want, but you will be continuing the conversation by yourself.
How did you come to that conclusion?
In order to use any service provided by Meta one has to already have their head in the sand and pants around their ankles.
