The point I am making is corporations own and have commodified speech. That’s dangerous to me. Corporations now own free speech.
Nikkas think just because they use someone else's platform and they're popping that they own itNo, they don't, because you can still say what you want without repercussions beyond not being able to use a corporate platform.
The internet is still the least controlled space we have, so pretending that it's somehow shutting down people's ability to get out their message just doesn't fit. We were just talking the other day about how the internet and social media have actually made for a free space for these crazy racist folks to more easily get together than they ever could before. Twitter banning a bunch of them won't stop that. There's still Parler or ***** or st0rmfr0nt or wherever. They'll find a space to meet up; it just doesn't have to be a major corporate-backed space.
And that's just the internet. They can still make their own newsletters, the rich ones can start their own OANs and Newsmaxes, and the poorest and craziest ones can still go on college campus lawns and call all the passing students sinners and whores and shyt. Corporations don't have some monopoly over free speech.

Social media platform Parler gets backing from Mercer family - WSJIsn't it backed by the Mercers?
So you can impeach a president even after his term is over? Didnt know that.
I feel you.No, they don't, because you can still say what you want without repercussions beyond not being able to use a corporate platform.
