Just wait until Silicon Valley’s role in the government coup becomes apparent. I think Apple is cleaner on this point and will suffer less than some others, but Facebook, Twitter, and Google will be seen as poison.

The Fed is manipulating the market. It’s not good for America and it’s hurting Trump’s policies.

The “progressive left” labeled the industrialists of the late 19th century; Andrew Carnegie, John D Rockefeller, Henry Ford and Cornelius Vanderbilt, “robber barons”. Men who Obama would describe as not having built what they most certainly did.

Today's “titans” are truly Spy Masters. Secretly tracking, targeting and selling peoples interests on "social media". If AT&T had used Edison's invention to mine their customers information they would have been rightfully regulated and ruined. Instead, the government has subsidized and exploited the technology to manipulate and control the people.

The real problem the tech giants have, as I see it, is a massive false advertising campaign that got them to their current pinnacle followed by a HUGE BETRAYL of their mass of implicit promises, on the basis of which they received massive government bestowed benefits. Being more specific, they essentially advertised themselves as being virtual public utilities in their supplying information services, i.e., anybody who paid for their services, either in direct cash or by allowing the companies’ advertising, could have nondiscriminatory access to those services, limited only by clear, nondiscriminatory rules.

IOW, it started out a lot like electric service where you get it if you pay for it, comply with the provider’s rules about using it, and don’t use it illegally. If you hook up a computer the last thing the electrical company has any legal or legitimate business being involved in is your free speech activities with that computer. Just imagine what would properly happen to an electric company that decided to cut off the Southern Poverty Law Center because of its political activities, instead of a genuine breach of contract.

Now, let’s return to the activities of the tech giants. Once they got established and received huge government benefits, all fundamentally based of their implicit promise that they would operate as virtual IT public utilities and not engage in ideological discrimination among their customers, in the same way an electric service provider doesn’t discriminate among its customers, they utterly betrayed that implicit promise. That broke their contract with their customers and the government, meaning they have no legitimate right to claim the First Amendment, which they are daily raping, as protection for violating their customers’ free speech rights. Thus, the government should regulate them for First Amendment compliance, as it does telephone companies, and persons who’ve been injured by shadow banning and similar practices ought to be able to sue for the injuries they’ve suffered.

“Mr. Cook spent nearly $300 Billion of Apple’s once fortress cash reserves.”

If true, then wow. I enjoyed the article, since the article affirms my recent decisions to close Facebook, delete Chrome, close Twitter, avoid Amazon, and keep my old 2013 Apple products. It is easy to find new computer products from patriotic companies.
