Crazy how conservatives went from ranting for years about how they were “being oppressed by big tech” to now being like “if you aren’t doing anything wrong you shouldn’t have an issue with your Palantir™️ ankle monitor and home surveillance cameras”

(Meanwhile the “oppression” was sometimes not being allowed to call people the n word on twitter)

Big tech (FAANG/Mag 7, not the surveillance ones) really just shift their political stances based on who’s in power. They don’t want to be regulated or broken up because of antitrust, so they have to stay in politicians’ good graces. I think that’s why Zuckerberg flipped on the COVID misinformation thing

Don’t discount the impact of profit. COVID misinformation had a lot of engagement, and that is very good for Facebook
