No good guys but the oligarchic silicon valley information complex is a definite bad guy that crowds out competing platforms where alternative views might flourish.
- jdauriemma 5y agoNo argument here, but I don't think the Modi government constitutes a competing platform.
- urmish 5y agoIndian media existed before Facebook and twitter.
- jdauriemma 5y agoAnd if they were the ones trying to shut down Facebook et al. then that would be relevant.
- smoldesu 5y agoThe only competition out there is going to abuse India's market and create an even worse paradigm shift. Newer platforms will be forced to be monitored/moderated by the state instead of a third party, which invites political oppression and censorship on a scale that's hard to fathom.
