Freedom of speech and freedom of thought are dead in America.

"Oh, but freedom of speech and thought only protects you from the government!"

Such a weak argument spouted by utter fools. No. Big Tech has the power to influence the government by influencing elections. Hence, freedom of speech and freedom is thought should also protect you from Big Tech.

"A private corporation can do whatever it wants" is literally the same argument school bullies use to take children's lunch money: I'm bigger than you so I make the rules.

Pretty much. Money talks. I'll scratch your back you scratch mine. Game theory 101.

The Unted States legal def. is a FEDERAL CORPORATION, hence money flow always.

It never was about the people's welfare.

It is ludicrous to watch the left jump through hoops to defend corporate censorship by defining it out of existence.

Right does it too. Look at the anti-semitism bill. It was a bi-partisan effort though.

Neither party is particularly good on freedom of expression or privacy. All I’d trust is that one will oppose the other for partisan reasons, but both parties will unite when it comes to growing the government.
