What's the difference between the 1933 book burnings in Germany and the 2021 Big Tech censorship going on today?
(Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke but there's nothing funny about it).
Tech companies are just that, companies.
A private company or a forum can pretty much do what it wants.
If administration here (or any other social media site) says we can't talk about a particular subject, that's their right.
While what you say is true, those tech companies number just a handful, and control the political and other speech of hundreds of millions of Americans and probably a few billion people worldwide. The power they wield over the nation's (and the world's) dialogue and communication of ideas is considerable.
And while there are some concerns over the power and control these large social media companies have, there still is quite a
large breadth of opinion and speech freely available on them. On just one of them, I can see anything from left wing rants to right wing religious conspiracy theories, and everything in between. I don't think we've reached the point yet of everything being controlled. Far from it.
