The point is good (centralized censorship is a problem), but the headline is false. Big tech is pretty happy using you for rage-bait. Big tech is delighted to spread what is ridiculous, silly, funny, or otherwise engagement grabbing about you. For at least the next several years, big tech will be prone to spreading stories that hurt themselves or their causes. The sector isn't that secure or monopolized, tic-tok hadn't taken such a market share until like 2 years ago.

    I'm of the general opinion that it's when a company decides to go public and issue stock is when it's lost. Once a company's governance is beholden to stockholders and the board of directors it becomes only a matter of time before it's garbage.
