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.
