When a few communications billionaires can gang up on a sitting President and decide he can't communicate and his followers can't communicate. That's a big problem.
I'm not a fan of Trump and I don't think it is a violation of the 1st Amendment or Freedom of Speech due to private companies, but I do think it's a huge wake-up call.
I wasn't worried about it until Amazon decided to attack Parler too.
I have no interest in rioting or even arguing on behalf of either of those men who ran for President.
But it's a huge eye-opener of how much power a few people have and how they WILL use it.
I know many of you hate Trump so much that you can't see past this moment, but this has nothing to do with Trump.
I've been talking about the overreach of Huge Corporate Companies for a long time...
But I have just had a huge wake-up call.
How many of our apps are apps needing to be downloaded?
What about the Keychain Extension.
How many of the witnesses are run on Cloud solutions from Amazon.
What does it take to get banned from BIG TECH.
It's a huge wake up call.. Thank about it.
Jack has the right to say, I don't want Trump on Twitter.
Zuckerberg has the right to say I don't want him on Facebook.
But when they go after Parler.. Using Google and then Amazon to forcefully twist the arm of a 3rd party business. That is something different, it's not funny and it's a very important moment.
That's terrifying, they are no longer protecting their own platforms.
