(HAT TIP KURT SCHLICHTER) Silicon Valley titans imagined in that peculiar out-of-touch cyberworld of theirs, that they should wield unchallenged power over what we can and cannot say and think. Parroting the term private companies (when they're actually publicly-held companies with Annual Reports) was supposed to protect them from conservative pushback. Hah. Look for all sorts of fun initiatives to curb their power.
"Say it isnt so."
