> encourage competition through enforcing open standards
Big Tech destroyed this hope the moment it banned Parler and everyone cheered this ideological censorship.
Big Tech crossed every line in launching a coordinated attack on a rival. The damage this has done cannot be quantified. The ideal way to have gone about this is involvement of Courts/Legislature to decide if Parler should be banned or not. Not a group of private companies deciding to fuck a competitor. It is a horrible horrible precedent which has absolutely zero excuses.
