With what we are seeing with censorship , and increasingly dubious practices from these companies, as well as Twiter and You Tube , and the rise of Parler and Rumble, as a result. will this see an exodus away from these platforms , that can decide to censor and 'factcheck' when they hide behind a platform that means they cant be sued , because the retain no editorial rights.

Even though the article concentrates mainly on the competition side of things, it has spilled over very much as we have seen with Dorsey and Zuckerberg being grilled by Congressional committees .

Unless the big boys are legislated properly, I cant see how it will work.


“But the dominance of just a few big tech companies is leading to less innovation, higher advertising prices and less choice and control for consumers. Our new, pro-competition regime for digital markets will ensure consumers have choice, and mean smaller firms aren’t pushed out.”

Looks like this grew legs quickly

Suits being bought against FB trying to break up their monopoly, with Instagram and Whatsapp.

And you YouTube is censoring any comtent to do with the election fraud , after all the things they buried pre election on Google and FB.


Nothing to see here of course , move along.
