I think this is scary as hell. I'm watching the first amendment get trampled over and big tech consolidating their power. Only approved narratives are allowed. This is the kind of stuff Ted Kaczynski wrote about.

The thing is, it's not entirely on big tech. Because those companies are only as powerful as the people using their stuff allow them to be. Same as with politicians who don't properly do their jobs--and keep firmly in mind that those jobs affect everyone, not just the people who voted for them--after taking office.

Have you been following the stuff on email servers posted recently here? The tier 1 providers aren't letting any little guys in, the days of the common man growing a site into their ranks is over. We have to hold big tech accountable for upholding the rule and laws of the US, including protecting the rights of its citizens. They aren't simply private business anymore, they control what is now a vital service like electricity or water.

Not to mention, there is now direct proof that social media regularly coordinates with government agencies to block wrongthink. During the freedom convoy in Canada, many videos and groups got deleted for unknown reasons. They aren't "just private companies" anymore when they collude with power structures. It's textbook fascism.

The fascists wanted to put a stop to all of this.
