I can't speak for tech companies like google or youtube, but I watched an internal video from the ceo of my tech shop the other day. He talked about how traditionally around christmas time sales go up around 25-35% for the quarter, however sales have been up 60-85% for basically the entire covid period consistently. Covid has been very lucrative for my industry and there is defs a monetary side to covid being explored by businesses. I'm not sure how much lockdowns itself has an effect on these figures, I think it's more apt to apply the cash stimulus injections into peoples wallets giving these results based on the last stimulus we did for the 2008 financial crisis. Perhaps there is a narrative being pushed by social media to keep this money train rolling, but i'd say they would be doing it out of self interest rather than being in bed with the government.

First law of mega government is:
Magoroth is banned from talking politics. A handler will be with him 24/7 ensuring he doesn't partake. If discovered to have made another political thread, he is to be immediately shot into the sun.

But it's on the internet which anyone from any country can just waltz in to.
Would it be based on the jurisdiction where the server is hosted and "foreigners" only need to worry about the laws where the server is hosted?
Would it be based on the jurisdiction of the individuals, where people mingling amongst each other have different rules they are all abiding by?
Globalization is the only answer. We need to be united under one mega government to make this work efficiently.
