Are you referring to something in the article or is this a general statement about big tech?

I’m curious because I read the article and couldn’t find the instance of “big tech playing politics” you are talking about.

He's upset that FB and Twitter banned him for inciting a violent riot and fomenting rage/doubt about an obviously free and fair election.
Trump was banned for a political interpretation of things that weren't happening on the platforms he was banned from. The topic of Trump's communication is intimately tied to the politics of the big tech companies.
Just a general statement and a feeling about how they often abuse their "rights", and those "fact checkers" that I have an issue with.
The fact that the "communications platform" needed to be created is by product of big tech playing politics.
