Remember the "free market conservatives" who told the PT "start your own!" Where are they

These are the Petifogger, 90proof, Dallas, etc.
They preach it in 2015/16/17. Just like they never grasped the issues of trade and trade with China, they never understood that.
If you don't like Twitter, start your own they said. We explained that you are at the mercy of a few tech companies. Now look at Parler.
- Removed from Google Play
- Removed from Apple
- Removed from Amazon hosting
After searching and searching for a place and being blackballed, the place that took them just had 2/3rds of the space they controlled stripped away from them to keep Parler out.
Like we told you then.... you don't have a free Market. The free market is not deciding.

We learned this on Tigerdroppings yesterday, but everyone not silenced cheered.
Even if you believe everyone in that thread was a complete idiot, you should be standing for their right to be an idiot, not cheering them being silenced.
The way things are going this board won't stand up to the pressure much longer.
I don't blame Chicken, it's his site, and I have zero idea what pressure that thread was putting on him, the point is he shouldn't have to feel an ounce of pressure as long as violence isn't being organized.

They’re still saying it.
They were disingenuous then and will continue to be disingenuous.

No doubt they are. They are not FREE MARKET people.
Just like the "free Trade". They purchased a lie and can not resolve the idea with reality.

I hate to say it but I kinda agree with them. We need to stop using companies that the left control and build our own better competing companies. Gab is building all their own infrastructure and I hope they succeed.
If we keep using enemy services then we'll always be at their mercy. This is how the left has been controlling and winning the culture war.

We need to stop being slaves to dead ideas.
The free market is dead.

We don't have a level playing field. When an industry gets to big and eliminates competition the government is supposed to step in an give us a level playing field. That's what anti-trust laws are for.
The problem is Big-Tech has the government captured. They are almost one in the same now.

This. It’s time to move on.

They always knew they were full of shite. They knew where this would lead.
They don't care because they think these things will never be turned against them ... until they are.

Sounds great until one of these companies can’t find a bank that will do business with them. At least they can hire some lawyers - well, until the law firm gets threatened for representing the startup and drop them as a client.
I hear a knock at the door...someone from the IRS is here...

No that's not what was said. The claim was the big tech's with which you would have to compete were too big and dominated the space. Parler successfully started a competitive application, but they didn't provide even basic moderation and let a bunch of jackasses give AMZN a reason to boot them. Without the storming of the capitol by a bunch of Q-tards and the most basic, light touch moderation, Parler is still up and running.
That being said, the one argument on gov intervention into these pvt biz that I think is fair is the infrastructure monopoly argument. I can see it both ways.

You fricking lying piece of shite, that was just an interchangeable excuse.

And you think they can not be taken down? IRS? Banks??? Hell, the dems in control?

I love you man, but that's what we are saying. You can't if they don't allow it.

Yet Facebook and Twitter were used by more Qtards than Parler. Why didn’t their providers shut them down?
Also, cwill is a piece of shite.

I think a lot of these types are starting to see the light. They should the light is basically blinding at this point.
