Amazon controls corpos.
Meta controls the general population (FB: Mostly older gen, Insta: Both young and old, WA: Also both). They control the political voice which is IMO more important if you consider voices more important than subtle (or not so) lobbying.
That makes sense.
Don't they (amazon) control the general population by proxy then?
I'd say Meta has more general population control with FB and Insta.
AWS/Amazon is more corporate focused and only in the shadows for the general population.
Short term I rather see Meta being able to manipulate rather than Amazon.
