If Biden is sworn in I don't consider Trump to have let anyone down.

He's fought plenty hard.

Not a single MAGA hat in the audience

Exactly right. I think it's a shame the last 4 years haven't beenspent focussing on tackling big tech, because it's just not going to happen under the Dems.

I do not however, blame Trump for this, as you rightly say, EO's aren't enough.

That's funny, I was having the exact same thought this morning that nothing would turn me pro-EU faster than them taking a hard stance against big tech.

It's probably about time we had a digital bill of rights but God knows it's not going to happen in the USA while big tech is greatly benefitting the Democrats.

"Monopolies can do what tehy want. If you don't like it, just build your own twitter"

Parler is created

Big tech immediately gets to work destroying the new competitor

USA has absolutely failed in allowing monopolies to exist unchecked, and anybody who defends this and thinks the free market will simply solve it is misguided at best.

I personally doubt they care mch about it.

If it dips, it will still bounce back, twitter is a monopoly (see competitors being banned from apple / google playstore)

Twitter's value isn't it's share price, it's that it essentially controlls public discourse. There's more money (and more importantly, power) in that.

If they do make a new platform, Apple and Google simply won't allow it on their app stores.

The whole thing is rigged.

America is owned by monopolies and big tech, and there's nothing you or I can do about it.

why?

Parler also banned from apple app store now I think

Right wing voices are successfully being silenced and big tech is powerful enough that there isn't shit we can do about it.

I wish twitter / F B / any solcial media over a certain size was forced to follow freedome of speech laws of whichever country they operate in

I just don't get it.

If it was Bernie, someone who many on the left genuinely love and has a huge cult following (despite my own opinions of him) - I'd get it.

But what does Biden offer? Just more neolib shit, but with the man at the top seeming to have dementia, great..

Then again, 4 years of RELENTLESS media assault against Trump makes me suspect it's never been about being pro Biden just getting rid of Trump.

What a sad state of affairs.
