"Big tech is not a source of information. It creates no content. It is merely a clearinghouse of information derived from other sources no different than a print library."
Big Tech filters info making it EZ to find their point of view and harder to find a different point of view . Sometimes the filter is simply blocking content it doesn't like.
B-T can also promote a tiny loud minority ,
"How the Intolerant Minority Dictates Society
Author and Scholar Nassim Taleb shows how a group as small as 4 percent of the population can influence the entire population to submit to their preferences.
[T]he formation of moral values in society doesn't come from the evolution of the consensus. No, it is the most intolerant person who imposes virtue on others precisely because of that intolerance.
Taleb's minority rule suggests that all it takes is a small number of intolerant virtuous people with skin in the game, in the form of courage, for society to function differently.
Big idea: A small, intolerant minority can make an entire population submit to their preferences.
