"The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western world. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity - much less dissent." -Gore Vidal

It's an absolute disaster.

Intelligent people are transformed into dunces.
It's a tragedy that has spiraled out of control.

In my opinion, this is more like a eucatastrophe, where it's tragic for many many lifetimes, but will have an ultimate good turn. That good turn may not come for the human species, but I'm hoping it will for the planet. At least for the planet.

If by "corporate" you mean "Communist", I'd agree with you.

Section 230 Reform. It needs an update. Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Youtube, ect. These places need to change. The internet needs to go back to its roots as a place of free speech. With a word, one of these sites can cause riots. The solution would be to let people discuss freely. If someone posts part of a video, then someone else should have the right to post the full video without fear of being banned.
