Interesting take. I've always held that Americans only care about those that they can see from the edge of their property line (neighbors and whatnot). Everyone else? Fuck em. Distrust of all forms of government is practically bred into us, and it shows at all levels. Corporations have pretty much filled that power vacuum.
- ryandrake 6y agoPlus, we Americans embrace or at least excuse this corporate power. Elected government tries to control what we can say online? Censorship! Overreach! Unaccountable Facebook and Twitter try to control what we say online? Yes, please! No problem! If you don't like it, leave! It's not censorship because corporate power is doing it rather than government power!
- cooljacob204 6y agoWhile I somewhat agree with the sentiment, there is a big difference between our government which has the power to take away our rights and a corporation censoring us.
- bluntfang 6y agoIs there a big difference though? Especially considering we got Zucked into believing that TikTok needs to be banned/sold to an American company?
