If you think big tech is at all restrictive, you've never been to the REAL internet, where draconian forum admins endlessly ban people for having the wrong profile picture. Google is a benevolent overlord compared to those who ACTUALLY wield mod powers

I am actually ok with some censorship (e.g. clear-cut harassment, not just offending someone but for example death threats) as long as it is implemented very fairly and very transparently. The problem I have with tech censorship is that it is neither of those and tech companies now wield immense power over peoples' ability to communicate.

Modern conservatives have so little ability to stand up for themselves. Back in my day when we would actually get bullied and dropped NYB on 4Chan treads, they'd actually go start our own sites. Not whine endlessly
