I find it troubling. Ignore for a second the discussion over why, whether Google can or should do that.
It is not a one random decision. It is a concerted effort to silence dissenting voices. I am not sure how anyone can cheer here.
It just encourages even worse polarization and further entrenchment. It does not lead anywhere good.
- seesawtron 6y agoWelcome to the realization that private corporations have too much control over the world and the worldview and governments that are publically elected rely on those corporations and their resources and their platforms to stay in power. I just have one question that I struggle with: what should one do about it? Chomsky said "Organize and create mass movements". Does that still work today? The mass movements created uproar which led to an impeachment trial of a said individual but nothing came out of it. How would one go about to dismantle and re-structure a world where states and private firms co-depend on each other? Sadly I am at loss.
