Most people and for this reason businesses - are immoral. You have to come to terms with this fact of the real world. The increasingly narrowing layer of people with a heightened sense of justice and truly liberal (close to anarchist views) is practically no longer able to change the world for the better, as it was before. And there is a basic reason for this, which I have previously described more than once. The world is quickly moving into a gloomy neo-middle ages with fascist regimes everywhere (and if almost all the authorities, with the support of a stupid population, are already fascist (or quickly developing from populist states ones that pursue base and obviously losing goals) in fact, then what difference does it make who and who does cal another auhorities?). With slaves, the trampling of everything that is possible and the formation of the newest neo-feudal regimes around the world.
Since 2020, it became clear that all human rights and freedoms turned out to be empty words, in practice, when it became impossible for the kleptocracies (and the vast parasitic sections of the population who were in solidarity with them) to hold power except by creating concentration camps around the world. And most of the population, even in "developed" countries (not to mention the initially flawed mentality (as analysts assured) "developing" countries and mostly authoritarian in power and the wretched mentality of the majority of the population), calmly recognized the illegal decisions of criminals in power and did not responded with the real power of coercion to respect the rights and freedoms, those who violated the Constitutions (by the way, I note that the US Constitution directly states that if the people consider that the government has become criminal, they have every right to overthrow it with arms in hand. At the same time, the initially slave constitution of Russia (moreover, the US authorities in the 90s during the period of change provided assistance in its appearance) does not say anything about the right of the people to overthrow the government by force. Think about it at your leisure..) of most countries directly. This is how they showed their real slavish essence, which has not disappeared anywhere over the past century. It turned out that there are very few intelligent, strong-willed people with critical thinking and common sense reliance on the planet to fight collectively against the criminal intentions of the authorities, violating previously adopted laws (constitutions) and the freedoms of individuals. And the worst thing is that now they have nowhere to go on the planet - there is no new "America" anymore, and America (both North and South) were created, and in fact, occupied, 200-400 years ago on the bones and direct genocide of the Indians (although and due to their (Indians) direct fault - as underdeveloped societies that completely lost the technological race to more developed societies of the old world, but ruthless in essence.
And not only the Indians, as example, but if recall the entire foreseeable history (remembering that history is brought to us from the darkness of centuries by the winners, not the vanquished) of humanity, this is one big expansion of the stronger (including technological progress) at the expense of the weaker and losers in the end societies. Any seemingly fruitful cooperation, as the history of mankind has shown, with any critical problems with any resources (and hence personal survival) instantly develops into forceful opposition, and people, the majority, outside those in power, again sink to the level of powerless cattle. And then, when the extra mouths and dangerous people for those in power are physically cleared out, there is a lull again. But every time this lull (and the stupid appeasement of kleptocrats and parasites of all stripes) leads to more existentially dangerous conflicts for all mankind.
And that's why the Stephen Hawking previously warned that if there are more developed civilizations in the Universe, far the fact that they will favor the less developed when for some reason they need the resources of our star system. So why be surprised now what is happening on a planet overpopulated (it is only the exploiters who are afraid of its decrease - because the cost of human life will grow many times at once and there will be no more cheap labor) and the beginning of problems with resources due to eternal strife - who should live more comfortably when stupid crowds around the world easily manipulate through all social networks specially built for this, initially authoritarian in design.
The world must either explicitly cease to be anonymous (in the legal sense) or all social networks should be prohibited from linking to personal data (especially the impudent linking in all social networks to a personal phone number) - only free, uncensored interaction of minds (who has it ). If an adult and capable (officially at the level of any state) citizen is not able to distinguish facts from lies, through critical thinking, then can such an inhabitant of the planet be called a capable adult? And why, for the sake of such individuals, is it then necessary to have the right to some kind of censorship of opinions, which is carried out by states and social networks that directly violate the Constitutions? Remember the justification of social networks (more precisely, their beneficiaries) - that these are private companies? But private companies that are able to manipulate through censorship beneficial to their beneficiaries by tens and millions of few able-bodied citizens of different countries in practice, a priori, cannot invoke the right of private business to conduct its policy. Politics can operate when an insignificant part of the population of a country or the world is engaged in these manipulations. But when a few people get the unpunished right to manipulate hundreds of millions of not very smart people, not allowing one to speak out and not deliberately stopping others for their own personal mercantile reasons - this is a global problem. Private business in the form of social networks does not have the right to decide who and what to publish, as soon as the number of clients exceeds a certain critical threshold of influence on society. The same control over market manipulation in the case of monopolies, oligopolies and collusion by the antimonopoly authorities of each country (including developed countries) for some reason does not surprise anyone. And the fact that the beneficiaries of the social network also deliberately use their influence on hundreds of millions of people around the world, and with implicit connections with the political authorities of states and blocs, is of little concern to the large and stupid part of the population who fell into their networks.
If the beneficiaries of these networks are not satisfied with this coercion to freedom of opinion and a complete ban on censorship, if the critical threshold for the number of clients (for example, the threshold of 1 million people) is exceeded, these are their problems - let them close it (or they will be forced to close it by court, on the basis of violations of the same antitrust law or level of influence on the crowd) business. The holy place will not be empty. Others will come.
The problem of the modern world is that instead of freedom of opinion, we have a dozen large and obviously authoritarian in essence social networks. networks that secretly promote censorship and the opinions of only those that are beneficial to their beneficiaries, also secretly associated with political blocs and groups. An ordinary citizen who wants to remain anonymous (legally of course) has no alternative without linking a phone number to register on a major social network and publish his opinion.
---------------
If an adult citizen is not able to distinguish facts from lies, through own critical thinking, then how can such an inhabitant of the planet be called a capable adult? "Сivil capacity" (but not necessarily legal - which, for example, gives the right to own a weapon or obtain a license to drive a car)) is defined as an independent ability to distinguish facts from lies, not trusting any faith and not taking anything on faith, because. belief in something is essentially an automatic loss of rational (critical) thinking.
How many really capable adults are left on planet Earth? Were there more or less before?
(I have extensive and depressing observations on this subject).
