I am sure as most of us here follow up with the latest News. So you've heard some version of the various events which have lead to calls of coordinated political censorship by Big Tech: on youtube, Twitter, facebook, Patreon, paypal, stripe certian voices are deplatformed for wrong-think/trolling/abuse. These same corporations have directly been shown to be coordinating to suppress competitors that have sought to come into the market to fill this part of the market like SubscribeStar, Gab and Bitchute.
At the same time, we hear evidence that Political actors are exploiting social media and should be held more accountable for the actions and 'fake news' of their users. This of course being used as further reasoning to intensify this deplatforming and widening the scope of when to apply these actions.
What are your thoughts and where do you think the line exists? If anything, what should the government do in response to either issue? What actions would you recommend to individuals concerned by deplatforming?
