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
