![images.duckduckgo.com.jpeg](Reality Check video. James Corbett of the CorbettReport.com points out the reality that everyone is making the assumption that Facebook and YouTube and Apple are such behemoths with a virtual Monopoly that the government should step in and protect the freedom of speech and not let these platforms dictate who can speak in "the public square". Let's be realistic, despite how big those companies are they are not too big to fail. We the people decide who and where we will spend our time and our data. That is why most of us are on Steemit I would guess. We know and understand our value. ![JamesCorbett.jpeg](
