Conspiracy theorists are batting about .500 these days.

Also, the federal govt can't replace bad parenting.

I don't think this is accurate, at all. I think it comes down to wanting to control a Chinese based platform that can be made profitable by American interests. "If we can't make a dime off of it, [BLEEP] it". That's the motto here. 

Also, when you really think about it, why would the Government want any form of free speech banned or hidden? It actually helps them in the long run if you think about it. 

Keeping the masses up at arms and at each other's throats arguing left wing, right wing politics is a brilliant tactic. It's a lot easier to weed out the true rulebreakers. 

If after what's happened with Snowden and Assange? If THAT wasn't enough to cause a big enough stir for the people to topple the Government? [BLEEP], nothing will man. 

We're all passively accepting this. We know it. They know it. Nothing's going to happen as long as we keep playing along with their games. The same arguments being made today from each side are the same arguments that were being made in the 2010's, the 2000's, the 1990's, the 1980's, etc.

Nothing really changes here. It's an endless cycle of garbage in and garbage out.
