It's a recurrent theme in tech criticism, and I think driven by desire to create an enemy compelling enough to motivate true believers. It is much harder to simply treat them as just regular people running regular businesses, trying to make $. Bond villains are more fun.
Why would you think I'm missing that? And have you *met* the people on the other side? They may not have billions (but are often wealthier than you might think) but definitely have equal or stronger messiah complexes.

No not personally. And yes there are some wingnuts out there for sure claiming censorship. So I could be wrong & I definitely have confirmation bias working against me... but this doesn't seem even that close to me. Antitrust is coming for these platforms, count on it.

Antitrust is a much better regulatory force than non-profit do-gooderism. There's a due process with lawyers on both sides hashing it out, not self-appointed moral guardians creating/exploiting moral panic to drive shame-based change.

Also I do strongly agree, as someone who has worked in both big and small tech, that even global platforms just ride and react to emergent behavior, they don't shape it or control it. One side of this emergent behavior has a desire to suppress speech from the other side.
