Seems like every time big tech went in front of congress- it turned into a public fishing expedition for lobbying dollars.

Democrats overwhelmingly called for censorship and regulation.

Republicans overwhelmingly complained of unfair treatment.

Big tech responds by preemptively censoring and regulating content.

I believe that regulation is coming with dems in total power. Regulation will be written and paid for by big tech as a means to consolidate regulatory capture.

I think you're right, it's indirect bribery. I doubt anything will be done about it.
