No point in using a service for public policy discussion when your point of view and those of others who share it are censored in dozens of scummy, underhanded ways.
I know Alex Jones is the boogeyman around here, but Alex was the sponsor of the “Censorship Master Plan Decoded” report that got to Trump and to congress and caused the Twitter and Fakebook implosions.

I think that Facebook and Twitter’s attempted control of Conservative voices on their sites, is not only a first Amendment issue, but a Fourth Amendment issue as well.
People have the right to meet and converse in private or in public, and that includes these private businesses.
For those who disagree, just how far would either of these two sites get banning based on race? No, that is protected against.
Well, if the government recognizes business’s obligation to comply with the U. S. Constitution, then it should recognize that across the board.
Our political beliefs and right to assert those beliefs are a civil right that need legislative protection like race discrimination.There companies are in the stream of commerce as public accommodations and like race , no one should be discriminated against based on beliefs or speech in commerce,
Yesterday , the president tweeted the issue as “shadow banning” but it is broader than that. Kicking people out of Uber cars or restaurants because they have campaign hat should result in heavy monetary penalties and criminal sanction. Attacking people like the Marine at the Hollywood star should get you 5 years minimum in a federal penitentiary for violation of Civil Rights. . Congress needs to address this very quickly because if they don’t I assure you this knife cuts both ways. We need a new civil rights movement in this nation.

Considering Trump successfully uses social media to go around the media and fake news, I don’t think democrats are going to go out of their way to save Facebook and Twitter’s butts.
There is no Backlash Against Big Tech. Twatter is full of $hit, and is getting what it deserves, along with farcebook.
The “tech drop” is the result of our China trade policy, protecting IP mostly.
However what he says about social media’s leftist distortion is true and damaging also.
I quit posting my political opinions on Facebook during Obama’s second term, when I noticed like-minded conservatives being censored by FB moderators.
Seeing one side of the political debate being shuddered into silence, caused me to back away from the platform altogether.
I probably haven’t logged in more than three times in the last couple years, and that was only due to FR being down.

Many High Tech companies are doing what they have been for decades.
Working hard, listening to customers and creating new products.
Google, FB, Yahoo and Twitter are NOT one of these companies.
Bring on massive government regulation and do it now. Big Tech cannot be trusted.
backlash against the treason of big tech. Shut ‘em down now!!
