How is it that Angela Merkel, who dislikes Trump as much as anybody, is able to see how problematic this is while many are celebrating it as a major victory? She isn’t the only foreign leader to express concern. The president of...wait for it...Mexico also condemned it.

Big tech’s recent moves will do nothing but deepen the existing divide. That is fairly easy to see. There will be a social media for the left and a separate one for the right. Many on the right are already switching to alternative platforms.

I think Elon Musk nailed it: “A lot of people are going to be super unhappy with west coast high tech as the de facto arbiter of free speech.”

Especially when Twitter turns around and says it’s worried about internet service providers blocking social media and messaging apps prior to the election in Uganda. They called it a violation of the principle of open internet. Can’t make this stuff up.

"West Coast high tech has to make the distinction between banning hate speech and banning speech it hates." - Elon Musk...again.

Oh well. I guess we should all just get onboard since Big Tech companies are such beacons of morality.
