Government has to be the wall between corporations and the general mass populace. The general population just does not have the media literacy or means to effectively combat corporations influence on everything in society. Something needs to be that barrier.
I mean, I think there should be a medium. Governments don’t need that power either.
In other words, I think this movement should be placing more blame on corporate lobbying and monopolies, too. But not let up on the censorship efforts from govts.
I can’t think a non-bias medium guardrail system hasn’t eventually fallen under Government control. Government has just as much of a need to protect their interests from external sources as anyone else. It really is a National Security Issue for every Nation, not just EuroAmericana.
And then we barrel towards regulatory capture, as the very biggest corporations can just lobby to their benefit.

When the YouTuber who exposed predators on Roblox brought them to light, the response was not to go after the predators, but to go after him.
We know these problems. If a YouTuber can find them, why can’t a company with billions of dollars, armies of engineers, and full control over their platform?
So I think govt should go after the most manipulative corporate offenders, but not create a situation where they can have so much control over individuals. In other words, no one should have that kind of manipulative power, and its the govt’s role to break it up wherever it pops up, not take control of it.
Even if we reign in Corporations, there’s still external governments trying to stir trouble and influence the popular opinion. We can’t realistically stop them from doing this, but have to defend against it. So some entity has to be in charge of that.
I think you’re right though, we have to reign in Corporations first. If each Nation cannot do that, then there’s not much difference between Government and Corporate Interests. This is a problem that isn’t going to go away even after we fix it either - something we’ll have to figure out as a society how to handle.
A little too corporate friendly here.
Not that I oppose the idea, but also, Big Tech wants a kind of narrower censorship… so they can be the defacto gatekeepers, and no one else.
