Ok, that doesn't mean there is a cabal of party operatives and big tech working together...

  That's not what the parent poster suggested nor the one you initially replied to. What's being discussed is big tech acting as one given their homogenous political inclinations, and user Jochim thinking this is representative of "society" at large as a way to normalize and whitewash this chain of political censorship.

    Right, but other people in "society" besides big tech, support this decision. Nobody is thinking society is just big tech people. There are a lot of people who agree with tech's decision to cut off coup enablers.

  I agree, that’s why I said “ It’s not a secret cabal of left-leaning owners, it is a publicly known set of left-leaning tech owners.” Of course the key characteristic of secret cabals is that they are secret. While I know of no evidence for secret cabals of big tech people, having individual capable of making unaccountable decisions is a different bad thing than secret cabals. And I responding to someone saying these were big organizations with lots of decision makers. And that’s false for Facebook and google, since they have power concentrated.
