You may recall that I recently wrote about the "net-state" trend in the US. You can refresh your memory here:

Well, the tech giants seem to be continuing their onslaught to take over public opinion ... apparently on behalf of the government, but certainly also for their own benefit:
Tech giants Facebook, Google and Twitter testified to Congress this week about extremist content appearing on their platforms. In an odd admission, the companies promised to suppress extremist ideologies online by distributing their own counter propaganda, choosing to call it “counterspeech.”

And it would make perfect sense if Amazon decided to locate its HQ No. 2 in Washington, DC, a possibility which this report seems to suggest:

Amazon-Apple-Facebook-Google-Twitter and all the rest are like the tentacles of a giant octopus, reaching out to pull us all into its grasp. And since the engine which feeds their rapacious appetite for data and wealth - the Internet - was in fact CREATED by the US government, it seems natural that Washington, DC will remain the head of that octopus.
What is being created here is THE VERY DEFINITION OF FASCISM. And there doesn't seem to be anything we can do to stop it.
