That's called competition.

Umm, no. They're on the same fricking page. What they want is to take down is things like YouTube, Facebook, and any news organization or public figure that isn't under the banner of the Big Six. They see them as a bunch of pirates, and the Big Six have formed an alliance to take these pesky pirates down.

Case in point is PewDiePie. PewDiePie has over 55 million subscribers on YouTube. He gets more daily views than the programs on CNN or Fox or any of those cable news networks. He has a pirate ship that can't be stopped.

So what do they do: The Wall Street Journal writes a total bullshite hit piece on PewDiePie calling him a Nazi, directly contact all of YouTube's sponsors telling them their ad dollars are going to Nazi propaganda, they pull out supporting YouTube, and then all the Big Six go along with it without remotely questioning the accuracy of that bullshite piece. PewDiePie is really all you need to know where the Big Six stand in terms to the freedom of speech on the internet.

They're not after the money, they're after the power. PewDiePie and all the others out there on the free web have not been held accountable at all to the Big Six are their enemy, not each other. If they'll put out hit pieces on them and go after their sponsors, think what will happen to them once the Big Six controls the internet. They'll be fried and shut them down.

The competition is not each other any more than Britain and Canada are our actual competition, it's the narrative they can't control that is the competition. And they will squash it if they get their way.
