Big Tech faces political opposition when it tries to regulate its content (e.g., removing Alex Jones’s hate speech) and when it fails to (when people post graphic videos that violate decency laws or exploit hateful ideologies [think Isis decapitation videos]). Because they operate platforms and don’t generally generate or own the content, they are pretty much stuck in the middle. Their efforts to self-police are dynamic as they constantly face new challenges from different types of content and harm, but they have a capitalist interest in doing a good job at self-policing because they have a profit interest in maximizing the use of their platform. I trust them to self police about as much as I trust any other large business to make decisions that will generally grow their business. When they stop doing that, they will be replaced by others that do it better.
Some of Big Tech also has a virtual monopoly. This is why they can not be trusted to regulate themselves. That is a very different situation from a mom and pop baker or florist.Quote:

LIVE COVERAGE: Beto O'Rourke claims Trump 'embraced strong men and dictators'
Trump probably gets an erection when he thinks of the dictators and despots of the world. He always says the most flattering things about them, while criticizing the leaders of our allies.Quote:
