The conservative genius Roger Ailes created Fox News with a faitr and balcnced outlook. He suceeded.

What is needed is a RogerAiles approach to Facebook. A fair and balenced place to gather with out leftwing censorship

We’d already have our own platforms had they not waited until just before the election to ban us. They are actively engaged in election meddling.

That makes sense. Anyone who pays attention knows there is quite a difference in scope and intent of regulation.

"...If they knew I was a FReeper and Trump supporter I’d probably lose my contracts, no bull..."

I don't doubt that. I'll bet they view you as a pork rind eating hillbilly, and don't think twice about the stereotyping...those people are pretty blind when it comes to seeing their faults on their own backs...

Anyway, thanks for the clarification. Interestingly, I am very squeamish about companies like Amazon and Google running cloud services that our intelligence communities depend on...that makes me very nervous.

I wondered what happened to Larry Klayman; he seems to have given control of Judicial Watch over to Tom Fitton [who I met - he was at the impeachment rally in D.C. in '98.] Before the www I used to listen to Klayman on short wave.

Perhaps the anti-trust issue is the best approach to the billionaire monopoly of all media, including social media. I am a non-user of almost all of that stuff, but, for example, I see Google tracking me even though I have never used Google. I do not begrudge folks their wealth, but I do resent their arrogance in trying to control my life... Most obvious irritation: AUTOCORRECT!

“this time”?

Same cabal as been around since the McCarthy era, just feeling their oats because Trump has given them a focus for their deep-seated hatred of liberty.

Opposition plan is as was: expose and annihilate with extreme prejudice.

Why are America's elite universities censoring themselves on China?

[Drew68]

The author makes the distinction between a "Platform" and a "Publisher", and does it in a way I find kind of attractive, and spells out why Twitter, YouTube, and others are, and should be "Platforms" and why the distinction is important.

Good article. Additionally, platforms are offered protections against liability under the DMCA that publishers don't have.

This is a sticky problem...but I DO agree with you, even though I do think that the “conservative solution” while a good one in concept, is not an easy solution to implement, and will take a far longer period of time.

And as you infer, we (conservative voices on the Internet) might well be toast by the time something takes hold.
