RE: Social Media Companies Are Not That Evil, *They* Started The Decentralization Of Media, Not Steem!
I wouldn't say that the social media platforms "aren't that evil." To say that, you are missing their long term intent. Their long term intent is certainly not about providing platforms for free speech even if that is what they may promote. The intent of most of them has always been to create Trojan horses and Pied Piper movements.
This is the same as with cryptocurrencies. People are joining because it looks like it's a fundamental change, but the end goal of the monied elite is not more freedom.. that's just the bait. The real goal is to ensnare as many people as possible in a trap where everyone is monitored and controlled in a full on Orwellian, dystopian future. It's also to enslave people with mindless addictions that they can be further controlled with.
Hey, @newsandviews. That is a very dark view of the situation IMO.
Social media platforms have definitely increased free speech in the world. That's undeniable.

It's not dark; it's reality. Most social media is owned by a Luciferian elite. If you don't know what that is, then you need to do some more research. Start by reading my blog. You'll find plenty there. This is why Google and YouTube are censoring everyone that isn't a closet communist at the moment. Their plan is to get people dependent on them and then shut down any real dialog. Add to this that most social media is superficial banter that speaks in soundbites and is intended to addict people (Really.. do a search on this regarding Facebook), then you realize that the vast majority of it is designed to control and not to empower or liberate people. And just to be clear, the Internet is more than just social media and I'm happy to admit that the Internet has allowed a hell of a lot of free speech, but social media is a whole 'nother beast altogether.
Have a read of my latest post on Google and get the drift of what is really going on: https://steemit.com/google/@newsandviews/don-t-be-evil-that-s-our-job-uncovering-the-dark-side-of-google-goo-ghoul-part-1-background-and-funding
