They just censored the official government POTUS page. That’s a national security threat. Can the government shutdown Twitter now?

Big tech is bigger than our government now, just how big oil was in the 20th century.

They don’t work for our government, they work for china, who owns our government.

This argument is completely incoherent. Twitters, googles, and facebooks market caps combined wouldn't fund the government for 1 year.

A transistor is an electronic device in which a smaller electric current controls a larger one.

In this case, think of google as a transistor. A smaller amount of money flowing through Google into the pocket of key politicians causes the much larger flow of tax dollars to whatever route they design.

Yes, I agree completely. My solution is to remove the government from the equation. What power would google have without a politician to bribe?
