And behind that, we could see big tech, either Google, Meta, Amazon, or perhaps X, serving as your credit card, payroll provider, and debt collector, all in one #corrupt #Corruption #fraud #theft #criminal #crime #robber #stealing #CROOKS

Such actions are not only morally reprehensible, unethical, illegal.
