One would think that a platform killing third party apps and forcing consolidation of users into their app would set some alarms off in the minds of the "we freedom oorah come and take it" party. Unfortunately they don't even pretend to match the branding on the tin.
Freedom for me but not for thee
Freedom for corporations above all
Well, no. See, itβs a private corporation doing this. In the pursuit of money. So they canβt be wrong. Jesus said so in the Bible.
"Cash moves everything around us. Get the money. Dolla dolla bills y'all."
-Jesus Christ, Corinthians 69 420

To a conservative, freedom is second or third behind respecting authority and corporations are king.
There is a reason they love Trump - he's a wanna be dictator. There's a reason they cheer tax cuts for business and the wealthy while they get screwed.
