86% of the smartphone market is owned by Google and 14% by Apple - the negligible .000000002% of third parties is nearly useless in the US. Can you reasonably work in your field without a smart phone? I know I can't in either field, so I'm stuck in an oligarchy where my money goes to either one megacorporation or another, even as they operate to restrict my rights by financing and giving support to these causes.
You honestly believe that 3 political activist trillion dollar companies controlling most of communication from hardware to software and 3 political activist trillion dollar companies controlling most major media outlets doesn't represent a threat to your rights? You think this is a move not to appease advertisers (that was dealt with months ago) and not one to influence society to bring them in line as footsoldiers against your rights? Get real.
Never mind that content creators (like myself, and better than myself) have invested a lot of time and effort to make this stuff, with the understanding that we would continue to be able to. YouTube has essentially become like a utility - imagine the phone company cutting off service to your business because they didn't like ornery a**h***s, despite your having done nothing wrong?
By the way, our Attorney General is "investigating" not lawbreaking, but "terms of service" violations at Facebook right now. Let that sink in; the impact here isn't limited to what happens on some website when it comes to TOS violations.
Bullshit. Citizens did that, at the behest of marxists or fascists, sure, but citizens just as much as governments.
Whatever, a**h***. Whatever happened to the negative rep button?
Conservatives don't believe in Anti-Trust and Anti-Monopoly activities - they're viewed as Anti-Capitalist. Let me know when you change your tune on breaking-up the Big Banks because they're "too big to fail".
THEN we'll consider the Cellular Monopolies. I'll wait.
