“We ban” like they make the decision. And then the poster says it’s because someone else made it for them.

It’s childish nonsense.

And the leaders of these companies say insiders are compelled to participate and that’s why their markets are news tools.

They are talking out of both sides of their mouth.

    It's a scene from the 1988 movie "They Live"

    That's actually a plot point of the movie: the upper and ruling classes are aliens who manipulate the human populace through commands hidden "underneath" the facade of mass media and advertisements. The aliens look like ugly, malformed humans, but only those with the right tools could see them for what they really are. For being nearly 40 years old, the movie holds up well, and the themes and story seem even more relevant today.

    It also has one of the best fight scenes in movie history.
