The internet split long ago, and the vast majority of western consumers won’t give two shits about non-progressive voices getting drowned.

I’m not judging either way, and there is certainly something ironic about Apple using slave labour while taking the moral high ground against hateful assholes and their refusal to moderate.

But it’s the way the wind blows, and you’re honestly not going to be able of resisting.

In the EU we’re certainly going to regulate big tech, but the result wouldn’t lead to Trump not getting banned for inciting violence, if anything it would probably have happened sooner and with a public mandate.

And good luck building a marketable platform out of the users who get kicked off the mainstream internet.
