Vladimir Putin? He ain't got nothin' on Big Tech.
Big Tech fancies itself as God, as an omnipotent and omniscient Supreme Being.
Segregationists and Joseph McCarthy operated openly; Big Tech seems to relish the invisible influence it wields over its end users.
There are certainly legal arguments to be made that Big Tech is well within its rights to handpick what content appears on its platforms, but its obsession with trampling speech it arbitrarily labels as "Hate speech" reeks of actual discrimination - the tech version of refusing service based on race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation.
Perhaps the time has come for the Federal Communications Commission to begin a serious examination of whether Big Tech has become too much like Orwell's Animal Farm: "All views are equal, but some are more equal than others." Free speech is often beautiful and often ugly.
If Fidel Castro, or Mao, or Pol Pot, or...fill in the dictator blank...had this kind of technology, he would have leveraged it exactly as Big Tech does today.
The Big Tech Industrial Complex has thousands of H-1B visa and green card employees.
