There was an article in WSJ yesterday highlighting the hypocrisy of Big Tech when it comes to Net Neutrality. Everyone keeps railing against telecoms that they might start censoring things or making them unprofitable, while there isn't a single example of that anyone can name. Yet there are a lot of recent examples where tech companies censor or demonetize the material they don't like. Daily Stormer is an extreme example, of course, but there are far less extreme ones as well. The other day Dave Rubin got a lot of his videos demonetized without explanation. There's no "hate speech" in his videos and never was. And that's just one example out of dozens just recently.
You can't eat your cake and have it too. Tech companies should not be in the business of censoring views they dislike, even in the extreme cases such as this one, especially if they insist that telecoms must operate like utilities.
