Social media platforms no place for real change, critic argues

A social media commentator is arguing that genuine political or social revolution cannot happen on corporate platforms like Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, X or Bluesky. Writing on Mastodon, they say users have no real power on platforms owned and controlled by corporations, urging people to stop organising on what they call 'their ground'. The post is a pointed critique of activists who rely on mainstream networks for movement-building.
Why now: It taps into ongoing debate about whether meaningful activism and organising is possible on corporate-owned social media platforms.
