You are really lost on this. How does removing government protection for them operating outside the scope of their parameters equal more government?

Gab and other similar companies are not serious competitors to Twitter



They would be if TRUMP switched over. You really don't think that there would not be millions TRUMP supporters following TRUMP over to Gab if he went there?

Public opinion a fluid thing and companies come and go like all fads.

By your logic people should still be posting on Myspace and searching the web with Yahoo. At one time AOL was the largest internet company in the world.

holy shite we agree on something

Trump is actually probably the only guy who could use market solutions to solve this. If he switched to Gab and was public about why it would be the beginning of a movement

It's a new age. Infomation is no longer found just on CBS nightly broadcast. At some point, the govt is going to have identify how this applies to America. Other countries are using social media to completely suppress thought. In america, the companies them selves are choosing which content to curate. This is a tricky one for us Small govt conservatives because I shouldn't be banned for disagreeing with a libral or expressing my view and unfortunatly that's the world us small govt conservatives live in on social media. We want something done and govt is the one place that if they can find the right solution to the once sided system we would support it. Clearly we don't want a govt take over. BUt they shouldn't be curating content and suppressing thought that isn't hateful or offensive. It's disgusting that liberals want this. Do your shitty ideas sound so bad you need to suppress the other side?

I could give you an example but you seem to preemptively refuse to head it. Muh Obama did too!! Ok and Obama spied on him, should Trump do the same to Biden? Obama sent a pallet of cash to Iran, should Trump do that too? Abandoning your principles....


Damn, when you move the goalposts in a debate, you don't frick around.

This is the problem and solving it will be interesting.

When leftoids can openly call for the death of the president while conservatives are either shadowbanned or outright banned for simply espousing their beliefs something needs to change.

Without 230 protections, chicken has to remove your post about Obama being a terrorist or Michelle having a cock lest he risk being found liable for its libelous content

Multiply that over the entire internet and what do you have? A barren wasteland

I’ve never said Obama is a terrorist.

Michelle doesn’t have a cock. Fling your poo elsewhere.

Until that happens, Gab will never ever be a serious competitor. It's dumb to think they can do it another way. Twitter is an absolute monster right now.

It’s like switching from an iPhone to an Andriod, few do it because of the perception of sunk costs and they most definitely will not do it without someone like Trump making the move.

MySpace never came close to what facebook and twitter is now.

I remember making accounts in the 2000s from several facebook-like social platforms and MySpace wasn't even one of them. Only crossed my mind a few times, and then facebook blew up and killed everything else.
