whats infuriating about this is that i watch fox news every night where there actually is a “crusade” against big tech and guess what, conservatives won bc they actually fought

don't want to pile on here but the problem is it wasn't a crusade. Dems did a couple modest skirmishes against Big Tech power but did not remotely break it, in fact they all kept getting huge government subsidies

That's pretty close to an offer they can't refuse.
Naturally, the Democrats want to ban it.
now let me open up my Meta accounts...
Do you have a news show or anything, so the people can have *one* decent source of actual truth?
What could go wrong???
Conservatives are on another entire level of existential fear. They believe everything is a holy war.
Conservatives won't die for their beliefs but they are perfectly fine letting others die.
Big tech Broligarchs were always misogynistic & sociopathic megalomaniacs.
Also, they’re mega corporations.
They were NEVER on the left, really.
YES... It's been happening since 1980, and acceleterating since '94.
The GOP screams and screams (yes the have the media eco-system), and they get perceived as "fighting" as the Dems try to hold on to "bi-partisanship". It's a losing prop.
Content moderation has always been a touchy subject because it doesn't scale, and truth is not profitable in and of itself. This is anathema to the tech-bro.
The other wrinkle here is that users are the product rather than the customers.
