Maybe, but capitalism has been the case the entire time, why is social media globally melting down in 2023?

Also, spying laws are not necessarily effective at containing the spread of ideas.

interest rate hikes, VCs are demanding their money back and companies are scrambling to become profitable/more profitable.

Edit: forgot to address the other point, they don't really care about us spreading ideas as long as we don't actually threaten their power. There is absolutely 0 threat of a socialist revolution anywhere in the west right now
