This should eventually happen:
How much face time will your news story get on Facebook? How many eyes will ogle it on Google? Too often, this is apparently determined not by whether the story is “fake” news or newsworthy, but by whether it’s politically correct. And it’s time to break up the Internet’s left-wing, information-conduit oligopoly.
If “knowledge is power” and “The pen is mightier than the sword,” entities controlling what pens you see are powerful indeed. C that Facebook and Google “account for 75% of all the referrals major news and entertainment sites now receive,” according to a Politico report in July.
Facebook boasts a 40 percent share of the social media market and 1.5 billion users worldwide, making this Internet “nation” more populous than any country on Earth. Upwards of 40 percent of American adults get news from the site.
Google accounts for 64 percent of all U.S. desktop search queries. In Europe, the figure is a whopping 90 percent. The company also owns YouTube, the world’s most popular video-sharing website…
Now the social-media site — dubbed “Fakebook” by many — states it will label and essentially bury “fake news,” using as fact-checkers liberal outlets such as Snopes.com, Politifact and ABC, which themselves have peddled falsehoods…
If these companies are going to use their monopolistic power to try and control other industries and coordinate to control competition within the sector, there is no reason they can’t be broken up into smaller companies, or at least be forced to allow new startups in their sector to seamlessly integrate their platforms with the giant’s platforms. Every Twitter user should be able to seamlessly follow Gab accounts through twitter, and the next facebook-like site’s profile pages should be able to merge their pages seamlessly into facebook’s architecture similarly. Other search engines should also have access to google’s results to create their own searches.
Now that we have the God Emperor on our side, I would expect this will happen. It is unbelievable how much will change with just one electoral win last November. The entire future of the nation will be forever altered for the better, and at the absolute best moment. All because of Donald Trump.
