by | January 14, 2025

For The Guardian, William Antonelli  wrote an analysis piece explaining why “Meta’s move to allow disinformation is just as much a play to boost engagement as it is to please Donald Trump.”

Antonelli writes, “Whether a user is 12 or 62, ad revenue is ad revenue. And whether you’re sharing fake news to praise it, laugh at it or rage at it, engagement is engagement.”

Antonelli’s work has appeared in Polygon, Insider, and The Mary Sue
