I wonder that L•🔛 🦌 is gradually destroying this massive 🐥 because this is one of the vast, fastest and easiest networks where people instantly flock all together to hear trending news and get more informed and connect to each other. If this falls down absolutely, people will hardly/not know where to gather (more specific/unfiltered/
less censored) information anew or they will eventually just receive less or up to no news/info from the Internet especially amid serious eventson behalf of powerful people wanted to dispel the noise about their schemes and mischiefs.(Despite misinformations on every site) There are official news press, real journalists, company official pages, officially public servants, active advocates, active celebrities and figure people and ordinary people (who witness/experience those events) on this platform, so it is why people are still visiting and keep always coming back just for them. Without this, people will eventually need more time and effort in browsing “everywhere” on Internet just to confirm the source by the real people.
Hence, this is(?) heavily visited by (real) online people, and now, this is having deteriorated by the underwhelming current administration with disappointing decisions and now frustrating implementations.
No conspiracy necessary. A business is supposed to make money, and do whatever will be the most profitable for them. This is their primary reason to exist.
So, if destroying competitors would help them do this, then they should destroy their competitors. The only reason for them to do anything else is if we made and enforced laws that stopped them.
They are supposed to follow the law though. Not just some vague idea of “what’s right”.
