Not sure if this counts as big tech specifically, but interesting nonetheless. Today Oxford Dictionary and Google suddenly redefined the word "Bigot." Yesterday it was "A person who is intolerant of those who hold different opinions." Methinks they realized the implications if those who don't tolerate differing opinions are all bigots...

Oxford Dictionary and Google redefine the word "bigot" to give it a looser meaning
Language is being redefined before our eyes.

The power of the social justice clergy is rooted in the grey areas. When definations are loose and changeable, power is less constrained.

No. Thats liberalism and lefism in display. Hetero-normative is basically, those damn dirty breeders aka what used to be called the normal people, the backbone of civilization which is evil cause "Muh queerphobia!" or whatever new buzzword they have in mind.

Wow, that’s the third dictionary change of a word in months. We are watching outright Minitrue shit in action right now.
Notice the implication, “person obstinately or unreasonably attached,”-that can only have a political implication.
In other words, bigotry is grounds for psychologizing the opposition, and not only are they illegitimate they are also irrational.
They’ll be able to say being intolerant of non leftists is not bigotry because it’s not based on attachment to a particular faction or belief.
The definition will only be applied towards the “wrong” factions, beliefs or opinions.

Parler is a RUSSIAN ASSET, unhinged conspiracy theorist claims as Twitter alternative surges due to Big Tech censorship
Twitter competitor Parler has been accused of working for Russia in a conspiracy theory that’s bizarre even by 2020 standards. Its accuser admits his “research” was motivated by the app’s longstanding #1 position in the App Store.
But the Russians.

Blame Rian Johnson's "visionary" and "subversive" take on Luke for making him act all the more negative online.

Behind the curtain he's not exactly good. He pressured someone related to him for an abortion.

I think it was more of, a girlfriend or fling of his son, he told to get an abortion because he saw her as a gold-digger and a scandal in waiting
That said, I think he legit believes the righteousness of his actions on social media

Exclusive: Vietnam threatens to shut down Facebook over censorship requests - source
Vietnam has threatened to shut down Facebook in the country if it does not bow to government pressure to censor more local political content on its platform, a senior official at the U.S. social media giant told Reuters.
www.reuters.com
Vietnam and Facebook made a deal over content in Vietnam back in April and now in good Dark Lord fashion Vietnam wishes to alter the deal further. Facebook has about sixty million users in Vietnam and supposedly the Vietnamese market brings in a billion dollars in revenue for the company. At the moment Facebook has refused to comply further with the increased censorship requests.
