Nobody ever gives up power willingly, especially not the tyrants. It's going to be 2023 or 2025 before anything like that happens, unless the supreme court hears a surprisingly prescient case but that's unlikely before 2025 anyway.

Not necessarily. There is already a texas social media law, that does part of what the anti-censorship crowd wants. The appeals court upheld the law, and the supreme court has not struck it down yet.

That law, in 1 state alone, could have a huge effect on social media pretty soon, already.
