Exactly. Let’s get rid of the special protections for the social media companies and get some true competition. This censorship shite will be resolved with the quickness.

Collusion between two large market players is absolutely against our anti trust laws
Yes it is. As I stated earlier I'm talking about general philosophies of each party. Republicans argue free market and right to refuse service, until it's used against then. Those companies have very similar ToS so when someone post the same offensive content on all of them or uses their infrastructure to promote said content it follows that person or service would be banned from all platforms. If I do or say certain things the Airlines don't even have a choice, the government steps in and says I can't fly any Airline. I guess that's collusion for you. This is kind of the same thing just without needing the government to step in.
For everyone laughing at collusion in a 100% free market system, you don't know what a 100% free market is. Google it.

I don't know how many times you need to be told before you understand it. You're either very ignorant or willingly skirting the truth.
If Apple, Google and Amazon deplatform, you're screwed.

All of you people are crazy. The Trumpsters are the worst, but both sides see what yall want. But what blows my mind is that Trumpsters are actually defending the riot in the Capitol. There is nothing you can compare that to.
Congress approving the president elect happens every 4 years on January 6 and it is just a formality that is part of democratic (not the party for the dumbasses who will get it confused) process.
Donald Trump has been fighting since after the election to overturn the results. His team put out videos that was manipulated to look like votes were being brought in to count past the time any more votes could come in.
He filed 86 lawsuits which were thrown out by 86 judges, some of the judges he appointed.
He called Georgia's SOS to try to convince him to "find" the amount of votes he needed to win.
And on January 6th he threw a hail Mary, which he started rallying his troops the week before saying shite like "Storm the capitol".
Then his son was rallying the troops the morning of.
YouTube
Dude is claiming that its "Donald Trump's Republican Party". Someone must have failed to teach him that he is no longer the head of the party once he is out of office and a party isn't one person's party.
You people have lost yall god damn minds.

I don't know many Republicans who believe in full blown anarcho-capitalism, which is what you are referring to. It will generally lead to monopolies or oligopolies.
This is the equivalent of the power company cutting off service for all registered Democrats in my neighborhood. It's a private company after all in my case.

You any seemingly don't understand what a free market is. A 100% free market is one in which any market decision is legal and ok. Collusion, monopolies, insider trading etc. It's a market where any action is legal, not that you as a consumer have 100% free choice or the market can't discriminate. It's actually the opposite, the market aka business can do WHATEVER they want. Use Google.

Tyrants aren’t upset at being tyrannical. They just don’t like being exposed as Tyrants.

I agree, I just notice the bitching seems to only be when the market hurts conservative causes.

Do you think a 100% free market includes the government protection of limited liability?

Was this you at the riot?

Do you need pictures?
You keep ranting about this "free market' and you have absolutely no clue what you;re talking about.
A free market is where consumer activity regulates the insustry. Collusion or regulation means you cannot have a free market.

You're just being contrary for the sake of the debate. You're not proving anything, and you're not the smartest person in the room.
This coming from the sidelines, of course. Carry on.

None of what you posted is remotely relevant to Ron Paul. The good doctor is not a Trump supporter.
