I don't think this is the right argument against big tech in general. "They are more popular" when it comes to entertainment and when there are other ways to share content that people willingly refuse to use just doesn't demonstrate a clear abuse in my opinion.
The most convincing I have seen is when public officials are using them to communicate directly with their constituents (have you seen a government ad on BitChute, Parler, Minds or Gab?) and when they coordinate to ban competitors, collude directly with government officials (wink wink Fauci wink wink Zuckerberg) and when they suppress information and people that are not in line with the main institutional narratives.
And personally billionaires with a messianic complex just creeps me out.
- rejectedandsad 5y agoFascists that used Gab and 8chan to publish their manifestos before killing creep me out far more than Zuckerberg ever has.
- TeeMassive 5y agoBecause mass-killers never used other means of communications to publish their manifestos before and they were always fascist and were never motivated by other ideologies.
