It's definitely a take away for me as well, it shows that private control of communications is a powerful weapon, and it also is revealing how self-serving the politics of most people are.

The "right" typically, is in favor of less government, more private industry, etc. They typically feel the government intervening in the dealings of private industry is reprehensible. Yet look at what some of those voices are calling for now. Crying about "de-platforming"--no it's a private company making a choice. As expected, most people have no actual principles and really only claim to believe in something for as long as it's serving their own interest. If you suggested we have some mandates around communications companies and government access to them right now a bunch of "republicans" would be on board even though it stinks of state controlled media.

Also, it's quite interesting how much of the seriousness of these blows for this administration stem from their painting the "mainstream media" as an enemy. The POTUS has a significant communications apparatus available to it outside of social/new media/, but this administration has alienated those other sources so significantly they cannot even use them effectively.
