HOW TO REIN IN THE TECHNOCRAT MEDIA COMPLEX:

  • Attack tech market monopolies using antitrust laws to break up vertical markets and media consolidation.

  • Fix patent law to eliminate various types of competition-stifling abuse

  • Scale back copyright monopoly to its original 20-year term.

  • Enforce in-kind donations election laws on large commercial social media platforms who police content.

  • Ban federal subsidies, tax incentives, and contracts from corporations with ownership of platforms that behave against the principle of free speech.

  • Drastically reduce H1b visas

  • Recognize the inherent stewardship responsibilities of corporate entities engaged in computation using private data, including creating liabilities upon institutions that collect, retain, or sell data beyond that which is directly necessary to run their service.

  • Recognize personal tracked data as an owned asset belonging to individuals, and require those that profit from voluntarily tracked data to share generated profits with the persons who opt in to sharing.

  • Use infrastructure already in place for spying on citizens to instead provide a ‘public option’ for hosting and bandwith option, so everyone can publish.

  • Adapt laws that require businesses to share data with government institutions to require the same sharing for individuals to give people the opportunity to ‘exploit’ their own collected data.

  • Incentivize ’small-scale’ startups and services

I'm all for the H1B Visas going away. I get that many want to come here, and I welcome them... but we need to reform our immigration process so they have a valid path to citizenship so they can't be abused by the H1B's while it also depresses the wages of the tech sector.

yep. There is a clear, concerted effort to kill off or keep competitors off. Gab being banned from apple apps. Bitchute links shadowbanned by youtube.

The biggest is payment processers like visa and paypal telling hosts/sites what to do or lose services.

Like citi credit cards for years not allowing gun sellers to accept a citi credit card from a person who is between 18-day before 21 years old purchasing a gun.
