Thanks for your comment.
I partially agree. But one could argue that nonetheless media is democratized. That Zuck, Jack & Co. have such power is a consequence of the network effect. So, it's not a lack of democracy, but just the result of the preferences of users to join social media in huge numbers, and then they accept censorship as long as they perceive the medium as useful and as long as they are not censored themselves. But I think there'll come a watershed moment (e.g. the censoring of a widely famous person or a big personal data leak), and then "users" will leave these centralized media in huge numbers.
