The founder of Parler was once told to make his own Twitter if he didn't like Twitter.

He actually did and it won't matter. Censored anyway.

The left is absolutely terrified of opposing viewpoints. They all know beyond any shadow of a doubt that there is simply no way they can compete with conservative principles in a free marketplace of ideas so they shut them down and silence them every chance they get. Not just tech companies but also the tv media and academia.

They all know that if conservatives continue to have access to the masses via the internet that all is lost for them.

If this is not a conspiracy to prevent fair competition and restrain trade, Im not sure what is.

I love how leftists claim Trump is a Nazi but fawn over arguably the most fascistic entities in this country: big tech.

I’m glad to see a Libertarian say that. At this point it may exceed the violation of antitrust laws and be a criminal conspiracy.

Bingo.

When your entire political belief system is built on flimsy talking points, paper thin ideas, and empty platitudes you literally cannot tolerate discussion or opposition.

Something has got to be done about this shite.

These elitist mother frickers don't get to decide what's "offensive."

I've resisted fedgov involvement, but it's time.

Microsoft got nailed almost 20 years ago for less egregious acts than Google, Facebook and Apple are engaging in.

There is way too much power concentrated in the hands of a few tech giants. These giants are obviously conspiring with one another. I don't see how anyone can argue this isn't as big of threat to democracy as Standard Oil was.

And this shows why we need to regulate these companies. The whole “free market” idea of “just create a competing platform if you don’t like this one” doesn’t work if google, Apple, Facebook, YouTube, etc don’t allow it. These people have monopolized control of the Internet and what’s going on is extremely terrifying. They’re going to purge any opposing viewpoints off the mainstream internet
