I just asked the question why today. I do not disagree with anything that was said. The media is only a part of the problem. I will quote from one of my own posts from a few days ago about “big tech” which has been every bit as bad, maybe worse. If you use a phone or computer these lefty companies know or think that they know... who you are and what you believe. If you are a conservative they would like to see you suffer and the ends justify the means.

Thanks for the chuckle. This has nothing to do with intelligence; there is no actual choice other than not participating in the game that big tech imposes on nearly all of us. If you want to use an Android or Apple phone, you have no choice but to participate in the game.
If you want to use a PC with either a Microsoft or Apple operating system you have to participate in the game. If you want to use an Amazon device, you have to participate in the game. Nearly every Linux build is along the same lines. Nearly all big tech companies have adopted far left woke policies... This means that for the most part they hate conservatives, and at this point they know who we are.
The following is an interesting video on YouTube by the The Lunduke Journal which discusses the operating system situation in detail. I already provided a link to a video that demonstrates the situation with Android cell phones.
Your position blaming the victims of the lefty dominated Big Tech oligarchy would be completely comical if they had not already won the game. You have demonstrated only that you are a smug fool who believes that you can somehow use the tools granted to you by big tech and will never have to pay any type of price.
You already are paying the price my friend and none of the discretion that you have shown when agreeing or not agreeing to supposed agreements will make any difference at all. Just because you are blissfully unaware that you are already paying the price does not mean that you are not. Personally, I do not have much of a desire to burst your bubble. So just carry on.
I am hopeful that the incoming administration and their allies such as you and I will be able to slow the unrelenting march to the abyss. But realistically all the important cards are already stacked against us.
But we live in interesting times, people of mine and probably your generation were able to watch the rise and then the fall of Western civilization. The best that we can hope for is that a change in sentiment by enough people in this country will provide a softer than expected landing. But even though many of the political figure heads had their butts handed to them in the last election, big tech, big pharma, big media, big government etc., etc. still dominates the big picture. And they all are almost all dominated by a bunch of left leaning megalomaniacs who care almost exclusively care only about their own bizarre agendas.
I am not sure exactly where you were trying to go with your post. It seems that you are concerned that the government will try and regulate the oligarchs that control them. But of course, excessive regulation is the way that the government actually serves their master's to keep the rest of us from gaining any form of control that will usurp the oligarchs. It is a vicious circle, and it is never what it seems at this point.
