you are unique, but I made a quick look to see if maybe you are correct about the left using it more as a platform than the right.

That may be the case—I don’t disagree.
But people aren’t doing it.

Once upon a time, someone said something with which you disagreed: you talked about it; you reflected; you continued on with your life.

Today, someone says something with which you disagree: you become incensed; you attack his intelligence/faith/politics; you accuse him of any host of “-isms”; you make threats; you post about it on 4.5 social media platforms; you block him from speaking at engagements; you run to your online news/echo chambers for validation; you won’t listen to his side.

We’ve lost the civil means of disagreeing with each other.




no idea how i'm the only upvote you received. wish i could give you 2. Prime example is what's gone on in the last 2 pages here.

Since we're playing, I had to go down about 20 posts before I found my FIRST political one, which was this:

its the only platform, chief. google and apple for all intents and purposes control 100% of it.
I think the question some of us have is: why doesn't Rupert Murdoch, or Peter Thiel, or the Kochs, or the Mercers simply create their own? That's assuming you need a lot of money to break in of course.

Another way to look at it is why doesn't a conservative software developer create the app from the ground up? You don't need the Google Store to distribute it, website hosting is a commodity.

Why doesn't someone simply start a website just like Slashdot or TigerDroppings or Fark.com or Reddit or 4chan.org and grow it incrementally, the way all those sites grew, until it rivals any of them, without any leftist censorship?

Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter for folks that don't even know how the internet works?

Sure.

i mean..if i dont like it i could just go whip up my own alternative to iOS and android so my free speech app can be installed on it right?
I don't see why not.

Apparently it's so easy to do that even liberals can handle the task.

uh, yep. sure do. they removed 'gab' app because someone told them the people using it were 'too alt right'


Did they remove all the web browsers, or does 'gab' not have a web presence?

Tucker did a good segment on it last night.

The four giants ... Google, FB, Apple and Microsoft squelch any and all attempts at competition through various means. They went into great detail about it and all but called for the break up of the monopolies.

I don't think you understand what a monopoly is.

China has their own version of Google, Facebook, Twitter etc.

Outside of the US there is massive competition.

If the US companies want to play dirty then Trump should break their legs with regulations. Very similar to Microsoft back in the late 90s.

You shills are slacking. Need a little more subtlety if you want your propaganda to work properly on this forum.

y’all fighting over whose Facebook is more political is the second most retarded thing I’ve seen today. (I also read an austintigerdad post earlier).
