It is an interesting move tactically and the immediate result is fascinating!
I am with you on my hatred for that Jack-ass-o-lantern (pretty proud of myself for that one ;) but the far left annoys me almost as much. These companies are just making headlines for themselves as any news reinforces the current legitimacy of platforms who have had their day. Seems they are trying to take the sanctimonious high road for the greater good but risking alienating people/investors who identify as on the right side of a political spectrum we are being herded one way or the other.
We all know the evils of centralized media from the standpoint of those companies reaping the rewards from our content, building algorithms to feed us bullshit, and censorship. Seems like we have known this a long time and being early adopters of blockchain and decentralized platforms, it is nice to see others come to that conclusion with us.
The interesting thing about Blackrock Inc. Is they claim to have no political power but the Biden administration has appointed 5 of their executives to various roles in the Administration.
Republicans have done the same, it's about power not party.
Bingo
