Standard Oil didn’t own every oil well in the country. What happened there?

Your doctrinaire defense of these hardcore leftist tech bros. that genuinely hate you and yours is amusing.

The fact is these giant social media corps are using their market size and power to abuse the American people. If you don’t have a problem with that then their isn’t much hope.

Far past time for the Right to fight back against the tyrannical, anti-American, anti-human leftists and deep state scum in big tech.

They don’t need EOs. Big Media has been in their pocket forever.

“People use twitter as a source of communication, like telecom utilities.”

People use the twitter application and agree to its TOS.

Twitter uses the internet, which does not discriminate as to content.

It’s an important distinction, legally and functionally.

In fact there is an twitter-like application on the internet with more subscribers than twitter. In fact Weibo has 500 million active users in any one month. And there are other English language micro blogging sites as well.

Apparently many on here would be ok if the next D shuts down FR via EO since he doesn’t like the negative exposure.

Yeah, and you’d have no room to complain since you’re so clearly for censorship.

“What’s the answer.”

Move to a different application on the internet.

It’s not unlike graduating from high school, but it’s on your timeline.

As conservatives, let’s at least be consistent.

Free market solution: come up with a different platform and market the crap out of it.


You mean like Gab? What happened there? “Deplatformed” by Google and Apple.

Now is not the time to sit in our chairs and have doctrinaire debates while our fellow Americans lay dead in the streets of Democrat sanctuary cities. In case you haven’t noticed the left wants us dead and gone. They are happy to use our “principled” rope to hang us with if we are dumb enough to sell it to them.

How about this? Henceforth, there shall not be social media.

“The fact is these giant social media corps are using their market size and power to abuse the American people.”

Ludicrous.

Anyone, at anytime, can leave them and participate in any of thousands of forums on the internet.

Or, are you one of those folks who, laughably, rely on Facebook for your news and information?

People join these applications because they want to be part of a digital community they are comfortable with. When they stay once they are no longer comfortable with the TOS they agreed to, they are not only stupid, but weak too.
