Tech media has merely taken over the role of the previous institutions. Viewpoints least likely to be censored on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube are not much different from common viewpoints in the New York Times. It's just the NYT never expected to deal with 3 billion readers.
It's hard to see the freedom-expanding properties of tech media after 2 years of overt censorship and viewpoint suppression. Censoring political stories (Trump, Hunter Biden laptop), medical stories (vaccines, masks, even from professors at Harvard and Stanford Medical schools) are as effective as The Borg and as tightly run by a handful of tech CEOs.
Substack has been a ray of light in all this but it, too, will never have 3 billion readers.
