Government doesn't care about regulating them because these big tech companies help the government controlling people's lives.

No. Leftists love the argument of "they are private companies, they have the right to refuse customers". But Google and Apple are monopolies.

And AWS may not be a monopoly, but we know very well that if Parler moves to another big Cloud provider they will also cut them off. Sure, they can host their own servers. But it's anti-competitive practice, all the modern devops tooling that facilitates the work of engineers is based on knowing that you will use a cloud platform like AWS.

This debate is pretty puerile anyway, anyone with a brain knows that the gradually worsening censorship of Western countries is wrong and that it's becoming more and more totalitarian day by day.
