Decentralization. Big tech having control of almost everything web related and using social and traditional media to smear competitors is what empowers it. Twitter banned trump and trump supporters were dumping Twitter for parlor and then over night they smeared them, and essentially removed their capabilities to compete with them. If they did not have this strangle hold every time a would be tyrant got power they would lose users and a competitor would rise. That would be enough for companies to start vetting the people they give power to since it would hurt their bottom line to be partisan. But with their stranglehold they can run things like the totalitarians they are.
It seems that every website supposedly dedicated to free speech will eventually fall victim to these petty tyrants.
How do you avoid the petty tyrants?
