It's time for people to stop jabbering about "muh private corporation" and realise that Big Tech is being used by the deep state as a workaround to censor threats to the deep state's power. The government can't "officially" censor because of the 1st amendment, so Big Tech serves as the "unofficial" censor.
Time for it to stop, and time for the 1st amendment to be applied to Big Tech firms that control such massive amounts of the public discourse today.
Blow ‘em the **** up. (figuratively speaking, of course!)
Enough of these leftist speech only Nazis.
I hope folks here begin to understand why we have anti-trust laws - to stop combinations that threaten our freedoms.
Look at how they are working on taking out Fox or converting it to another leftist big brother outfit.
When Elizabeth Warren and Ted Cruz actually AGREE on something, it’s time.
A warning shot from the progressives. Help us win or we’ll come after you.

I suppose a person could take the position that these companies for all practical purposes are utilities.
Supreme Court Strikes Down Big Tech Anti-Monopoly Case
AP: Today, the Supreme Court struck down a lower court circuit ruling that had ordered the break up of big tech monopolies. The previous ruling had decided that Google, Twitter, and Facebook were monopolies, and that they had suppressed conservative speech. The Supreme Court rejected that ruling by a vote of 5-4, with Chief Justice Roberts joining the court's liberal wing.
Google delenda est!
Facebook delenda est!
Twitter delenda est!
They exercise the power of censorship and of influencing elections by virtue of controlling 90% of their respective markets - and that kind of power CANNOT be allowed to continue to exist. Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely - and there is no truer example of that than these 3 companies.
Break them up!
About friggin’ time.
Wish they would quit just talking about it and fast track this right now... With the elections coming up every single day they waste is going to hurt us enormously. Get this ball rolling... Start an action immediately...
Remember “Net Neutrality”?
That was directed at ISPs ‘throttling’ transmissions by of the dominant content providers— Netflix, Amazon, Google etc. In effect, the law would have allowed the bigger entities exploit the ISPs, dominate the bandwidth, impeding access to smaller users. It was bass-ackwards.
It hasn’t gone away; they’ll reintroduce it at the first opportunity and the content monopolies will make sure that the campaign is well funded.
Here, perhaps, is an opportunity to drive a stake in it’s heart. Call this effort against the information monopolies by the same name: Net Neutrality II. It will at least oblige the opposition to explain the difference, thereby revealing their original intentions.
This regards the political battle. The legal and constitutional aspects are entirely another matter—a minefield of unintended consequences.
They broke up AT&T which was doing the job it was paid to do and doing it well. If the Fed can do it then, they can do it now to companies who have no competitor.
Google especially. Twitter will probably go down on its own as younger people feel that it is for old fogeys.
Good! This is long overdue.
Look to the past to see what was done to (1) Big Telephone, (2) Big Computer (both within most of our lifetimes even!) and (3) Big Oil (in its heyday).
