What is worse, government censorship or digital censorship through big tech? Remember when all these corporations banned Trump at the same time? Imagine not being able to buy from Amazon when there is no retailer left. Imagine not being able to listen to music or watch movies when all of it is only available through streaming. What about having all your email deleted because a Google bot flagged your account. Or being shadow banned in social media, having no impact on any discussion.

but there isn't one retailer or one social media service so why should I imagine fictional scenarios when considering your question?
