Are they comparable to Facebook? I have been using Facebook as an easy to use, free photo album/cloud host. Can these services do all the same stuff as Facebook? Can they live stream?
Does Gab and Parler actually censor left-wing views like some lefty authors have been claiming? What's the story here? I would like to use a platform of zero censorship whatsoever.
Using social media is necessary to fight the meme war. If you leave they win. They want you to leave. By leaving you are essentially censoring yourself.
All of them take your data, all your data, and use it to varying degrees. Read their terms of service and policies.
Stop using all of them, is the correct answer. People will not do that, even knowing they are being spied upon and having their data harvested and sold, having their data used to deny them Human dignity and Rights under Law.
Stop using them all. They make money off of selling you into slavery.

Honestly never really cared they use my data. Who cares? I'm not doing anything nefarious. It's worth it for free cloud services and the like. Ive actually gotten ads for nice CAD technologies which I've learned about.
I don't like their censoring shit though. They just pulled more shit on me
Yeah that's what I said, people are sheep, you/they don't care if you are used as cogs in their Evil machines, you get your crumbs and so you're a happy lil hamster.
That is how our double damned corrupt government manages to be doubly damned and corrupt, people simply do not care about it until it bites them personally in the a$$. That is why it is so very difficult to undo all this shiite, some of us just don't care until it's too late.

Doing what though? The worst you could say they're doing is the echo chamber thing. But lefties were retarded in the first place, it's hard to imagine that something else is making them/keeping them retarded. It takes a seriously ignorant person to stick wholeheartedly to leftism, that's an endemic trait. If anything the colleges are way worse at promoting this kind of ignorance.
I don't think anyone disagrees that section 230 liability protection should be revoked from these social media who are actually acting as publishers
The censorship is the least insidious aspect of their various crimes...
Keep on supporting them, add to the swamp, while you whine about them allegedly mistreating you... KEK!

This is the wrong mentality to take. People always say, "I have nothing to hide so why should i care"? You are slowly accepting an invasion to your privacy. You should care because it is being used for other means that eventually lead to you losing freedoms.
Ehhhh... I feel like inevitably any pushes towards authoritarianism will come from the government, even if through social media
Like this section 230 thing. The problem here is the government keeps letting them moderate social media content but still give them 230 exemption from liability. This is a government policy issue. Private companies of any kind anywhere doing anything will do everything they can to protect themselves/maximize profit. Pearls before swine. The problem at root is government policy
That is, I DON'T see these systems as somehow helping pushes towards government control, their activity is entirely derivative, and the source is the government policy
Fair statement. You are correct that the govt is part of the problem. I wouldn't doubt if facebook, twitter, etc. were created by the govt to be honest. I expect the 230 exemption will be removed after this election stuff plays out and TRUMP is put in for another 4 years. The stage is set.
Also what is rumble?
I think you’re on it. ?
What? Am I missing something? People used to make physical photo albums, getting developed pictures and sticking them in the plastic. Facebook has proven a lot easier
Literally their shit is just an easy form of various online services. Like, my name is unique in the USA and probably the whole world, so it's like an email/way to message me that is easily found by anyone who met me, but I can also easily block people and whatever
