It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

Zuckerberg said that his MAGA turn might result in some people leaving the platform due to “virtue signaling” which is what people who don’t have integrity call integrity.

They may be richer but I am more powerful. And that is a trade I would make every single day.
