> The squelching of dissent/free speech

Yeah, I do need some more explanation before understanding this one. Are you talking about the use of social media for propaganda? If that's the case, I have some news for you, the pandemics only destroyed it, it was being used that way for years already.

> destroying small businesses in favor of large corporations

And that one is completely vague.
