Yet another example of corporate feudalism. The government can't do this, corporations have no problem.

Since when did corporations care what people do with their products?

The group also demanded that “tools to amplify factual voices over disinformation”

Drown out facts we don't like and amplify our propaganda.

the answer to Trump and other allegedly bad voices was not to “do away with the internet,” but rather to “build a better one” that can “withstand” such “challenges.”

We will change the internet so we can deny access to those we disagree with.

corporate feudalism

Just call it what it is Fascism. Mussolini himself defined fascism as the lucrative merger of business and state.

While I agree that fascism is accurate, to me, corporate feudalism is easier to imagine. Fascism is not well defined and many people don't know what to imagine. Several "internet" definitions include "far-right". There is nothing left or right about fascism. Corporate feudalism implies a feudal lord and serfs. I think this concept is more easily understood.

When business and State collude, that's Communism. When Fascism subdues the corporations for the benefit of the people, that's Fascism.

There can be no doubt that the most bitter enemy of Communism has always been Fascism.

There can be no doubt that we're living through a Communist coup in America today.

The solution is Fascism. Either we put them in Death Camps or they put us in Gulags. There is no middle ground.

Fascism is nothing like this. Not even remotely.
