Find their servers and pour acid on them. Cancel culture canceled. Who needs it anyway. We can always go back to field hollers and yodeling.
Big Tech is likely in the position that IBM and other established companies were in about 1975, when they could turn down Jobs and Wozniak and their Mac personal computer concept, saying that the world was not ready for personal computers and that they were content to keep on with the big mainframes that they marketed to other big businesses at the time. Now, the challenge is to get information to people, as opposed to computing back in the aforementioned time.
Easy and highly visible - make your next phone an old flip phone. That’s what I plan to do.
An entire ecosystem is needed. Top to bottom.
Every product or service that can be bought should have freedom- and patriotism-friendly alternatives.
I think open source software options for ALL business, entertainment, and educational software on a new Internet platform is a great place to start.
Perhaps a new open source license contract could be created that stipulates commercial use requires non-discrimination for political views and legal speech.

Conservatives states could incentivize these things and also attract conservative/patriotic/freedom-loving workers with tech skills or aptitudes.
Delete the App. Sell the stock if you own it.
Join forces with libertarian oriented techies. Get them to understand that the same Big Tech oligarchs that shut down conservative sites can shut down theirs if they disagree with them on issues such as big government or high regulations and taxes. Come to terms with them on issues we agree on like small government, free speech, limited regulations and low taxes. Make sure they understand that big tech is not their friend if they are an entrepreneur.
I’m also upgrading the computer system in my office over the next 4-6 weeks — by DOWNGRADING it. I’m migrating back from a cloud server to a local network. This has nothing to do with recent concerns about Big Tech censorship, but the events of the last two weeks have vindicated my concerns about having my files accessible to anyone outside my office.
The last company mobile phone I bought was a 2003-vintage flip phone. No apps, no bullsh!t, no nothing.
You know things are sliding in the sh!tter when it starts to make a lot of business sense to operate pretty much the way we operated 25 years ago.
