The Google-Facebook Duopoly Threatens Diversity of Thought
Which makes me ask the question: do you, gentle Hacker News reader, really want diversity of opinion and why? Do you have unpopular opinions and if so, would you get fired or ostracized for sharing them?  Are you practicing crimethink?After all, the only people actually working on alternatives to Google and Facebook are the alt-right who have been de-platformed.  Gab.ai is so de-platformed that google doesn't even let them put their app in the play store!  Unlike the Pirate Bay and scihub, gab.ai is actually not violating the law.  You aren't one of those filthy alt-righters who voted for Trump are you?  Are you a person who raises uncomfortable questions that cause mental pain by triggering or creating cognitive dissonance in ideologically defenseless individuals you wish to torture with your arguments?Anyway.... I don't think most of you want the Internet Facebook and Google insulate you all from.  Why the heck are you complaining?
