I probably disagree with Greenwald on just about every economic policy and theory but I can appreciate this liberal's full-throated defense of free speech and competition. I've come to appreciate his kind of liberalism more and more in light of the craziness going on right now.

In the 19th century the Left was the foremost opponent of the big corporations stifling free market competition.

How far the Left has fallen.

So, how is that action not a criminal act, restraint of trade, collusion whatever it technically is?

Now that we have seen how quickly Big Tech can destroy a social media site which offends them, I am asking why they never did the same thing with child pornography.

There’s a certain kind of person who I have to respect even when I disagree with them, because they are consistent in their views and true to their beliefs, even if I don’t share those beliefs. Rand Paul is one such person. Glenn Greenwald is another.

Who said parler is destroyed? Parler will be back. it will be online and running. You don’t need apps. If you download a browser on your smart phone you can still access it. Personally I believe in using a real computer instead of one of these nasty little smart phones.

These tech companies yap about being “private’ corporations, but they seem to have received plenty in government subsidies to fund their “private” enterprises!

What big tech is really doing is creating demand for competition.

Unintended consequences.

A little while ago, I found via Duck Duck Go,independent conservative-based servers set-ups that have NOTHING TO WITH the liberal-based servers stations such as Google, Amazon,Apple,etc.
