Seeing a lot of people getting really mad about Trump wanting to regulate silicon valley, I'm not down with regulation either, but I am sure most of you agree with laws against companies forming monopolies.
That's kinda what Silicon Valley has done. An information monopoly.

"Trump has violated the first amendment" is pretty ironic coming from people who 🦀🦀🦀 when they see a right winger getting banned.
More so when we all know for a fact if the Silicon Valleys bias was the other way around, you would all be making the same arguments we are.

Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Youtube etc are viewed by literally BILLIONS of people every day, all of these people get their news and info from them and they also communicate with others on them.
They literally are the biggest information/communication platforms in the world.

The people who make the argument "edgy jokes can influence people and turn people into fascists" go suspiciously silent when it comes to companies choosing and curating what information BILLIONS of people are allowed to see.
I can't help but feel that maybe they are silent because the bias is on their side.
"This tiny patch of land in California that controls the information of a phenomenally large part of the internet is fine, because they agree with us".
Gives me the big think.

I'm not really down with regulation, and the best way to not be regulated, is to not give the government a reason.
And you can't deny that these guys have been fucking begging for it for years now.
You made your bed.

Few closing points:
1. Trump has been saying for years he would do this and hasn't done shit, calm down.
2. I look forward to all the new guys from the left who have suddenly decided that free speech matters again, welcome, you need to defend right wingers too though.
