What happens, my dear fellow never-trumpers, if the shoe is on our own foot?
What stops Twitter, Facebook, et al from silencing a political candidate with whom we agree?
Let's imagine a popular progressive candidate running on a platform of anti-monopoly / privacy reform. If these companies feel threatened they have their marketing company come up with a scandal and pull the plug on the rising candidate.
Is that acceptable? Can we trust big tech to do the right thing?

Well, why haven't they banned Sanders or Warren or Klobuchar or Markey or AoC who have all called for various things from anti-trust cases to explicitly breaking up big tech companies? > What happens, my dear fellow never-trumpers, if the shoe is on our own foot? Get back to me when facebook updates their acceptable use policy to disallow criticism of facebook.
