## Resource

After learning about the Lights Out Meta campaign, a boycott on all Meta platforms from January 19th thru January 26th, 2025, it sounded like a good idea, and after reading about it more extensively, I think it's a necessary one. Here are the articles I quote from in this one-off boycott episode: Meta's pivot to the right sparks boycotts and calls for a user exodus and- Lights Out Meta: R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe calls for Meta boycott to protest rise of US far-right and- Meta Boycott And TikTok Ban Could Signal Social Media's Transformation
