Social Media’s Walled Gardens ⇥ mastodon.ar.al
When you post things on Instagram, Facebook, and X, this is what they look like to people who don’t use those platforms.
They are login walls. Sometimes, these platforms will let you see an individual post without having an account or logging in, but very often they do not. This sucks for many reasons, but one thing I remain surprised by is how the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission seems completely okay with Meta using Mark Zuckerberg’s login-walled Facebook and Instagram pages to disclose material information about the company.
