OK, that answers the comparison with Twitter or Reddit. How about Google, then? But on reach, I think that might be it: Facebook has more of it among a larger population (and possibly one that has more effect on the rest those around them). So you're saying they're being targeted because they're more influential? That really says something about the rest of them too, don't you think?

Google gets as much hate as Facebook with the exception being that Google does not tend to leak data to third parties whereas that seems to be one of the core business models of Facebook. Google gets hate for being a monopoly, for collecting every bit of data about you ever, for manipulating search results for creating echo chambers of YouTube. For censuring "free speach"... It goes one an on. All the social media platforms get hate. With respect to big tech the ones that don't leak data (because they don't sell it) get less. Specifically Apple, Google and Microsoft might collect a lot of data but by not selling it they are free from the recurring embarrassment that companies that do sell it pretty much without fail ultimately face.

  >Google gets hate for being a monopoly, for collecting every bit of data about you ever, for manipulating search results for creating echo chambers of YouTube. For censuring "free speach"... It goes one an on. It's there, but it doesn't seem as persistent as it is with Facebook, right now and over the past few years. People within the tech community are often noted to defend and praise many of the worst things Google does. Furthermore, there seems to be a card deck of typical points you can expect to see when inquiring on the matter. It just feels like a strange forced narrative, like Monsanto criticizing Crispr or something (not that that's happened, but you see what I'm saying). It really feels like a club of big people bullying one of their own, and I can't put my finger on why it's happening. Could be nothing, but it's just too consistent to be 100% likely coincidental. And by no means am I presenting threshed out points or claiming to cite stats, more just asking for discussion for those who can perhaps see a bit of what I'm trying to get across.
