So Twitter made you say that? After all, they control the discourse, apparently. Facebook writes your posts? A monopoly is now five, not one? This is quite incoherent. It's not like these are ISPs with regional monopolies.

Twitter employs thousands of contractors, any one of which can press a button and cut us off from all our followers. It would be idiotic to think that omnipresent threat doesn’t dampen discourse and enforce political conformity.

Interesting, yeah, Monopolies do often have this sorta "you get the coal that we want to pipe to you." like mentality when it comes to feeding their version and vision of content to users on their railroads, which leaves little wiggle room for lesser established companies!
