Please give us a specific example of "big tech suppressing dissenting voices". I can certainly see how you could lay that charge on the Hearst Corporation, for example, but I have a hard time seeing how it applies to companies who will record and disseminate your writings, photos, and videos worldwide without charge and almost without regard to the content thereof.

Google returns that site as the #1 result for "world socialist", and "world socialist web site" and the Facebook accounts that were supposedly "purged" are all online, for example https://www.facebook.com/iyssesdsu. So, again, please provide specific examples of accounts that were suppressed for dissension, and apparently also I need to ask you to think critically about whether and how such suppression was achieved.
