  Hello Americans, Today Meta has deactivated the Instagram accounts of the "No Kings" protests on the very day they are happening in the US. You can avoid Meta's fascist-defending shenanigans by following one of the main No Kings organisers on here instead: ➡️ @indivisibleteam@mastodon.social This is a textbook example of why it's a bad idea to rely on billionaire-owned centralised social media. (Thank you to @tchambers@indieweb.social 🙏) #NoKings #Meta #USA
