Q has told us months ago that these social media firms were harvesting data on behalf of the Dems, and would be censoring non-Dem content.

This will lead to regulation of these overly powerful Silicon Valley companies in the same manner as public utilities ar regulated.

After all, their content goes out over a broadband network that the American people paid to build over the last 20 years through the Al Gore telephone tax.

They have shown they cannot remain neutral, so they will lose their total control over their “product”, which is actually produced by the American people. They monetize it and sell the accumulated to whomever will pay their price.

There will be the information age equivalent of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act of 1890 passed by Congress in the near future. The wheels are already in motion to do this.

Wow, you are up early.

I am sorry you cannot sleep.

Hopefully, you can get a decent nap in later, as there is a Trump rally tonight.

The concern I have, about this tech giant regulation, is that I recall how hard Zuckerberg was pushing for it 😱

It seemed like ever other word, in his Congressional testimony, was the need to/for regulate/regulation. And, I remember how scripted that sounded.
