Even though it would be better for the world if everyone blocked that shit (maybe except YouTube, as it got its use cases), but they blocked it for all the wrong reasons.

They dont give a shit about well-being or standing up to big tech. They just want all ideas of an opposition to dissapear.

They are silencing free speech - at least that's the goal.
