Sure, it's Bezos' private company, and people are free not to subscribe to WaPo. So it's not restricting free speech. But it's very telling that more oligarchs are trying to control the _flow of information and ideas_ to the masses. A key requirement of fascism.

People only notice this problem when the oligarchs that they don't agree with are doing it.

When Hillary outright said as much last year it wasn't even a blip on HN's radar.


Please refresh my memory as to when "oligarch Hillary" was owner, and held control of, a large media company or social media network.


That was close to the question many were asking when her remarks broke: "She said 'we' lose control.....who is 'we'?" Nobody on HN seems interested in digging deeper on that. It's only when the despicable shady scumbags are aligned with Trump that it becomes a problem.
