We need to start by making it illegal to be a billionaire.

Can he be both? He seems like a fucking odd guy, but he's not stupid in any way.
"Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them." - George Orwell, "1984" Stallman, like most of us (and nearly all prominent historical figures) can posses both positive and negative traits simultaneously. The good isn't always outweighed by the bad, and vice versa. Nuance is a difficult thing sometimes...
In some contexts you do have to consider both, i.e. there are some loonies in every corner but the actual philosophy behind cancel-culture isn't necessarily a bad one of it wasn't the focal point of an extremely violent culture war and being aggressively pumped by social media not designed to encourage introspection or even basic humanity in its participants.
Why do people keep needing proof that big money runs everything.

The sudden reversal is just amusing.
What reversal? If you're referring to a different scenario, then you should explain why they are comparable, instead of sarcastically declaring that they are.
Unless you think that what robinhood did violated their contract, but I doubt the court will see it that way.

How were these not overall real reviews? If they can't prove otherwise, this just entrenches the idea that big money is vastly more powerful than small voices. I honestly don't see how if this trend continues how things will end well. It's not just about Robinhood, etc, it's deplatforming, using AWS, etc as a weapon against smaller voices. I can't see this ending well.
