Haha, we can’t keep anyone anywhere by law in that sense, but I think holding them accountable would be a good start. If they want to censor and control everything for the DNC, that’s their right. But they should do so as a publisher and not be granted legal protections if they decide to go that route. At least with social media companies, they quite literally could not continue existing without those protections, and they’ve done nothing but abuse them.
We all should have been suspicious of Google the moment they dropped their ‘don’t be evil’ slogan.
I think Facebook will stay. They have so much invested here in ongoing infrastructure and buildings being made. Apple’s got it’s own fucking campus and they don’t really censor anything outside of pro life stuff to my knowledge. Twitter’s always been a joke here and can just rent out their building, and already do. Google’s in between Facebook and Apple. They really want people to stay but nobody wants to and they were already hated before all this, and for good reason.

I increasingly am suspecting that this might be strictly necessary, despite the bitterness and great inefficiency in multiple ways. Centuries ago, it was not always easy for people to move around, physically, transportation-wise, or legally. While bitter in many different regards, it did mean that people had a very vested interest in keeping the place they were living in livable.
