It wasn't safe when rogue engineers at Amazon colluded with the US government to take down Parler simply because they didn't like the politics they supported.
It wasn't safe when the US government worked with Twitter and Facebook to silence the opposing view points about Covid Vaccine injuries and lied to us constantly about the effectiveness.
There are children to this day that can't get heart transplants in the US because they don't have the Covid vaccine, which only 2% of American children have taken.
I know lots of people that took the J&J vaccine and it's been taken off the market due to deadly blood clots. Doctors mentioning this at the time were silenced and many lost their jobs.
When I see more people in the tech community talking about the authoritarian left that nearly destroyed our freedoms over the last 4 years, I might start listening to you about your concerns about our current state of politics.
AWS suspended Parler over violent content, not because of political views, and not in collusion with the state.
The J&J vaccine was not "taken off the market." It was temporarily paused to investigate rare blood clot cases. Out of 8.7 million doses administered, 28 cases of blood clots were identified, with three reported deaths. COVID-19 killed a million Americans, and would have killed more without the J&J vaccine which probably prevented 5.7 million infections and—with an R0 somewhere between 1.4 and 3.28—many millions more. This information was not suppressed, it's public knowledge discussed openly in scientific and medical communities.
There is an undeniable authoritarian element to the US federal government, but when has the US ever backed a "leftist" coup in a foreign country? There's no coherent "left" movement in the US. No socialist party.
Really, your victim mentality—fed by baseless conspiracy theories—is absurd, and your promotion of this harmful rhetoric endangers innocent lives. The US is a a police state, but not a meaningfully "left" one. It's a republican oligarchy.
