Well, anything can transform itself trough time. A politician that
looks good at election time can turn out to be quite a bad guy. Is it
possible to trust any policy maker ?

For that matter, why are the major communications mediums used by
people on the Whole Planet the ownership of private companies ?
Wouldn't that be quite an important issue ? Aside from any policy
making process and regulation, a private company is entitled to do any
action.

I do not like that guy, what's his name, Alex Jones, but he got banned
within a day from all major communication mediums by a common accord
between companies.

Why is it that the president of India uses twitter to share with the
common people ?

Why are many people staring down at their smartphones running private
companies' communication between elements of the masses ?
