Pandora's Box is difficult to close once it has been opened. Too many shortsighted people cheered with delight as the tech companies punished those with wrong think, believing that they'd be able to keep the tech monster under their control. Thing is, the danger isn't just from the tech companies forever expanding their power to suppress, it's that they can be compromised and flipped. Suddenly those who were cheering for the suppression could find themselves under the boot they previously celebrated. That tech works hand-in-hand with repressive regimes around the world in exchange for expanded market access shows how quickly they can change their values when it serves their financial interests.
