Is FR still a conservative site? You want the government - i.e., President Trump - to do something about this? How about you and I create something so compelling that a billion people use it daily? Let’s get busy. Those sites don’t create themselves.

Those sites didn't create themselves, but they were backed by people with deep pockets who I'm sure would only back a Leftist-run operation. Conservatives with deep pockets need to get in the game and start funding tech start-ups. Too many conservatives are clueless about technology - there was a time that the Right had an advantage over the Left on the internet, but that advantage has been wiped out by a determined effort by the Left.

It was a large, industry-wide conspiracy two years in the making, starting with Silicon Valley biggie Dave McClure's public rant at a giant international tech conference in Spain the day after the 2016 election.

It's chilling to watch, in retrospect.

We can see that the conspiracy worked, after Tuesday. And the open sedition is ongoing...

McClure: "We [Silicon Valley] provide communications platforms for the rest of the country, and we are allowing s**t to happen..."

"...It's our duty and our responsibility as entrepreneurs, as citizens of the f**king world, to make sure that s**t does not happen [people like Trump taking office]..."

No kid...Gab got pulled by a SP too

All social media and SP abuse the public spectrum time to be split into Baby FaceBooks

Free Republic doesn't have a billion world wide users. Anything that massive needs a government to stop them from censoring. Small private sites ought to be able to do as they wish, but massive communications sites ought to be *FORCED* to carry all traffic whether their owners want to or not.

How about you and I create something so compelling that a billion people use it daily? Let’s get busy. Those sites don’t create themselves.

The idea that you are going to create a website that is worth half a trillion dollars is just ridiculous. You can't buy into this modern poker game on the cheap anymore. If you do not have half a trillion to build such a competing system, you aren't going to be able to build one.

The solutions you offer are impossible. We need to focus on real possible solutions.

The biggest problem most conservatives don’t get with their desire to get government involved is that as soon as Facebook is put in to the public register as regulated by the government, it becomes the defacto protected official source. It no longer can be competed against. The rise of neutral social media is impossible.
