The United States has long been one of the worst performers on human rights among high-income democracies, but according to new data from @rightstracker.bsky.social, those already poor practices worsened greatly in 2025. More in my latest at The Conversation: theconversation.com/the-united-s...

Yes, this is evil and generally illiterate. But they're also a tech company named after a communications device that becomes corrupted and only provides information from the perspective of someone called the "dark lord" and "the deceiver." So, yeah, this is about what I'd expect. (1/4)
