I read that most of the major social media platforms are unethical and unprincipled enough to consider free speech a problem worth addressing through censorship. http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/263106/all-your-social-media-belong-eu-daniel-greenfield
Here is my thought: this will create a HUGE business opportunity for anybody who wants to duplicate those platforms–making whatever adjustments needed to avoid successful lawsuits–and guarantee to protect free speech of all kinds.
These are for-profit businesses. Clearly, their long term aim is to enter into a fascistic and enmeshed relationship with an authoriarian government controlling most aspects of society, but they are not there yet. They may never get there if we are smart.
It is an odd thing that the hippies like goose-stepping so much. But they never believed anything anyway, so in that respect there is not much of a change. A change of clothes and a shower was all that was needed to effect the transformation.
