I am still thinking about it.
Not quite sure what to make of it yet.

We’ve crossed the Orwellian Rubicon.

It’s past time to employ Nullification in a serial fashion.

Well, after thinking for a while I am leaning heavily toward agreeing.

After all, this won’t be the first time big corporations favored increased regulation.

It seems ironic at first, but regulations actually favor the huge corporations because they can easily afford to compliance, and compliance avoidance - they have huge compliance departments and teams of lawyers who represent a tiny fraction of their budget.

The cost of compliance itself doesn’t even necessarily manifest - because the compliance departments don’t really exist to facilitate compliance - they exist to facilitate avoiding compliance.

Meanwhile, the smaller competition can’t afford a dedicated compliance (avoidance) department - and must therefore actually comply - adding to costs and often limiting their ability to compete in markets.

As someone already mentioned, it is well known that Big Pharma and Big Energy thrive on and lobby for increased regulatory “hurdles”, because they are really only hurdles for their would-be competitors.

So, after thinking about it, I don’t see why it would be any different for Big Tech Media - I think the Gab CEO is right on the money.

They are probably doing a “Please Br’er Fox, whatever you do, don’t throw me in that there briar patch!” - the briar patch is exactly where they want to be.
