The Philippine president assigned himself as the agriculture secretary of the country. After that happened, the price of sugar, rice, onions, eggs increased.

Who is the president? He is the son of the Guiness World Record in corruption Ferdinand Marcos Sr.

How did he get elected? Through years of distorting facts by employing troll farms to trick the uneducated masses into thinking their family did not steal billions, while simultaneously blaming the honest politicians with lies to promote a country whose population is divided into "them" vs "us".

This is what happens if you do not have net neutrality. Facebook was free to the masses in the Philippines, and Marcoses employed troll farms spreading misinformation through Facebook. Cambridge Analytica was approached by Bongbong Marcos, the current president, years before the election, into how to rebrand the family name, and they came up with spreading misinformation about facts and painting the honest politicians into villains based on lies.

America should keep a tight watch on Facebook. The Philippines was the unfortunate trial run. And now the country will spiral into continuous hellhole just because Facebook was "free" to the masses.
