The Orbán government here in Hungary is one of the biggest ad spenders in the EU. You literally can't open a YouTube video without seeing propaganda with just plain lies, increasingly with AI-generated video. I find it really hypocritical that these allegedly progressive companies are willing to sell millions of dollars of brainwashing to the most hateful toxic regime in the EU.

If the last ~9 months has demonstrated anything, it's that this was never the case.

Hence "allegedly", but I think it's pretty telling that the people who work at Google and Meta are okay with this.

I'd imagine those big salary cheques buy a lot of acceptance of what these companies are actually doing.

Should everybody who works at Google and Meta be progressive?

		You don't have to be progressive to be not "okay with this".
