Awww, poor conservatives. Everyone is against them. What snowflakes. I always thought Conservatives were about companies deciding who could be their clients?

I don't agree with the means, but it justifies the end.

Standard Oil, as an example of exactly what you speak.
Monopolized in a cartel, to become used as a political weapon.

I'm not a conservative, so it really doesn't apply to me. To be honest, the folks under the most persistent assault by Silicon Valley are Centrists who keep being branded "Racist! Sexist! Bigot! Nazi!" That is where the greatest threat comes from: People who think for themselves and are not particularly partisan. Mindlessly partisan people are easy to manipulate. You know all the right buttons to push. So free-thinking people are the folks that are getting singled out.

Whether it is at the behest of the tech monopolies or not, they are definitely being weaponized to further the political aims of the Left.

Styx pretty much nails my thoughts on the matter once again:

"Everyone is against them"?

That's about the craziest ****ing thing I ever heard!

Only six states have more liberals than conservatives.

Forty-three states have more conservatives than liberals.

In thirty-two of those states, conservatives outnumber liberals with a double-digit advantage.

Barr is falling in line with his master. Trump met with Twitter CEO Jack a few months ago to whine about how unfair Trump supporters are being censored on social media. It's not unfair when people complain about their racist, homophobic, bigotted rhetoric and conspiracies.
