Social media is already in the hands of all those folks. Saudi Arabia was an investor in Twitter. Zuckerberg is literally an advisor to the president. All your worst fears are coming true! You’ve already lost your freedom of speech. Fight to get it back!

At some point I think we’re going to regulate these social media companies and it won’t be perfect, but similar to cigarettes we’ll figure it out and it will be largely fine. Have we all become reaganites internalizing his "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the government, and I'm here to help.'"?

We’re going to start needing a definition of freedom of speech that includes corporations, because we’re already in a world where they don’t need the states help to censor you. I’m not even confident the governments monopoly on violence is long for this world if Peter Thiel gets his way.
