We need to go back to the web, where anybody could install Apache and off they went. Bandwidth is cheap now. BitTorrent exists.
I hope google and twitter and Facebook and all the rest just hurry up with all this.
Some other ridiculous examples of them becoming the ministry of truth:
There was a joke image going around on Facebook saying: “Arizona beaches packed during coronavirus!”. A joke about Arizona not having any beaches because it’s a desert. Facebook censors this and gives you some creepy warning before your allowed to see it.
Or how about: there is a doctor from the university of Minnesota who is running a large scale, international, placebo controlled RCT for a potential covid prophylactic. Twitter is censoring his links to find out more about the study. HE IS A DOCTOR RUNNING A STUDY AT A MAJOR UNI, and twitter is telling him he is misinformation.
It’s all just disgusting and is exactly what a lot of people feared would happen with these companies.
