At a Platform’s Discretion
Here she sits
The digital world
Waiting for her
Enter
Enter and explore
Walk down the halls
Join the rooms
Chat with its occupants
Do not mind the chains
Do not mind the tape
Do not mind the black bars
You are still free
These platforms say
But it is all lies
She tries to escape
She looks to other rooms
There is only darkness
There are only false facades
Hate them
Say the big tech platforms
Condemn them
The big tech platforms shout
Alternatives
Are to be forgotten
They are to be erased
Says big tech
She runs
More
And more
She runs
Until she realizes a simple truth
Free speech
Is only as free
As the platform says it is
