It's a very tangible sense that facebook is the hold out. Likely maybe it's because it still found a run, or whatever it might be. But this its idea that everyone else has bent to our will, and you haven't. And if you squint and you tiba misinformation and fact chucking, it works an awful lot like censorship and propaganda. The government can't tell facebook what to do, but to what extent is facebook and twitter not actually doing what powers that be want them to do? They are. It's just all due to the vagaries of us.
Are we in the middle of the IT revolution, or on the verge of something new?
