This is how media bias and smearing works:

"the only full-bore critique of capitalism came from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), who said capitalism as practiced in 2019 meant that “any human and environmental cost was written off in the quest for profit. "

“That ideology is not sustainable, and cannot be redeemed,” she said"



.

So tell me, was she criticizing capitalism or the US implementation of it? Of course, if one has been drinking the ideological koolaid of believing the US way is the only way and everything else is socialism - then it makes perfect sense!

.

As to the rest of them - they are out of their depth. Experienced programmers have saying, "Eat your own dogfood." It means be a consumer of the crap you produce so you can understand the end-users' perspective and catch the flaws before they complain.

Before anyone arbitrarily categorizes something as a "platform" purely based on revenue - they should understand what the hell those words mean and issues the companies face.

This is how government regulation and the Left gets a bad name!
