Big Tech is a hot button issue, and prohibiting access is a big deal.But we should take comfort that when there are big problems in the status quo, new avenues will appear—if market competition is allowed to work and entrepreneurs and innovators are left unbridled.

Cancel culture is a big deal now and as long as a few big companies control the majority of the social media space (and traditional media space for that matter) then people will be subject to the whims of their censorship and biases. Whatever your political persuasion, I think it should be obvious that a political solution is not the answer. Competition is. More laws and regulations can only hurt block chain based upstarts in the long run.

Fortunately, there is already a ton of competition out there. I think blockchain based solutions like Hive are the future and the writing is already on the wall for the likes of facebook. It isn't going to happen overnight but when the shift comes it will seem sudden even though it has been building for years.
