No. BigTech has now started playing the same game as most of the corporate run media around the world - cater to the whims of those in power, political ideology be damned. Right-wing government in power - sure we'll spread the hate for you and censor the voice of the opposition and minorities. Left-wing in power - sure, we'll give prominence to your "liberal" ideas and help in suppressing any criticism against it.
