Why Big Tech deplatforming should be deeply disturbing for everyone, regardless of your politics
From the title, I thought it might be somewhat even-handed. Nah:
While some people take pause at the mention of regulation, it is much
preferable to the current system. Democracies are made up of elected
representatives and are therefore accountable to the people. Without
strong regulation, the tech oligarchs are accountable to no one, and
they will only shape the internet to their own benefit.
Nothing to do with the fact that Protonmail would love to have people paying them for e-mail instead of getting it free from Google or Apple. Nope. Google, Apple, Amazon and Facebook don't even need customers, because they're not accountable to anybody.
The joke's on them, though. Those big tech companies have way more lobbyists than Protonmail does, so it won't help them as much as they think.
