It's going to get interesting. I think this is going to be decided, in part, in the stock market and possibly by anti-trust legislation. In my opinion, one of the big reasons the market has been down recently is because investor faith in some high-ticket tech stocks (e.g. Google, Facebook, Amazon) has diminished based on fears of anti-trust intervention. This was always a consideration, but when Google and Facebook went all in on censorship in a politically motivated manner, the possibility of a confrontation became much more probable.

The techs are past the point of return and have gone 'all in'. Their exposure is immense, and they are thus hoping and banking on the Democrats taking back power and protecting them. Hopefully they will be very disappointed, though many of us are invested - from prior to their complete politicization.

Yep. Twitter is banning conservatives one after the next these days. They've given up on all pretext of neutrality. They're all but begging for federal intervention.
