Did you think Trump or Biden could provide an open web by going after the censor's themselves?

The federal government can't directly force big tech to censor or not. All they can do is make strong recommendations, and it's in their best interest for censorship to continue since it's effectively a workaround for the limits of 1A and allows them to easily classify anything against them as "dangerous misinformation."

There are only two things that bring back free speech on the web at this point:

  1. A cultural shift/revolution in support of free speech, or
  2. Decentralization and other technologies that are inherently censorship resistant

Considering how things are currently going, 1 isn't happening anytime soon.

Trump is a boomer and Biden is braindead. They are not the answer.
