...changes finally coming to the Tech Industry?

Biden last week elevated a fierce critic of Big Tech, antitrust legal scholar Lina Khan, to head the powerful Federal Trade Commission. The surprise move was a clear signal of a tough stance toward tech giants Facebook, Google, Amazon and Apple and came as sweeping bipartisan legislation advanced in the House that could curb their market power and force them to sever their dominant platforms from their other lines of business.

"Biden said as a presidential candidate that dismantling the big tech companies should be considered. He also has said he wants to see changes to the social media companies’ long-held legal protections for speech on their platforms."

Welp there that is. So what happens with this is any speech that the government could label "extremist" will be squashed because the platforms wont want to risk prosecution or lawsuits.

Between that and labeling dissent against the government as domestic terror....yeah this makes for a bright future for our freedom of speech. It will only be applied....and applied heavily and loosely....to everyone who opposes the monoparty.
