RE: Document dump shows that Big Tech is most definitely censoring Americans at the behest of Big Government

in Steem Links3 years ago

I didn't review the actual documents, but assuming this is true, it should be a really big deal. The argument has always been that "big tech" can censor what it wants, as a private entity. If the censorship is driven by government, behind the scenes, that's a scandal of massive proportions.

Unfortunately, the dysfunctional American media will ignore it, because they believe that it benefits them.

I agree with @kwadjobonsu that this highlights the need for decentralization. Bureaucrats always want to have choke points where they can exercise their control.

I also did not read the documents, but if a Judge has made those records public, and names are named, the media will not have much choice but to cover the situation when it comes time for elections. Political sharks, in the opposition, would surely use such a scandal to win votes. Unless, of course, all parties are bought out, which is certainly possible. However, Dr. Shiva is also a high level politician, so this could get interesting!
