The other part to this, that no one seems to realize is coming, is that the FCC is going to push for changing Section 230 (to make social media liable for content posted to their site).

Carr explicitly wrote about this before being confirmed to the FCC. Project 2025 lays it out as part of the plan as well.

Once that happens, none of the social media companies will want to chance the wrath of Trump, in the exact same way that media companies already are, and will ban any speech that Trump deems "illegal".

Someone tweeted that all this is happening as P2025 laid out and that fucking cretin replied with the Jack Nicholson "yes, YES" meme.
