I never saw publications like The Verge proclaiming that e.g. the ban of Parler was a betrayal of the open internet. Either the term open internet is to be interpreted as the internet which reflects my ideology or (to paraphrase a term made popular in the early days of the public internet) my way or no digital highway or there is just not enough money to be had from tiny players like the aforementioned Parler. No matter what it is it does not bode well for these TikTok-astroturfers. Checking Wikipedia's Perennial Sources list [1] I notice that The Verge is listed as 'green' with a green checkmark, i.e. 'reliable': There is broad consensus that The Verge is a reliable source for use in articles relating to technology, science, and automobiles.. Here reliable probably serves the same function as open in the title of this thread, i.e. that which follows my ideology.
