The goal was always banning conservative voices. So they went after hate speech and cancelled Milo and Alex. Now the new rallying cry is advocating for violence, which they will interpret anybody who says the election was stolen is advocating for violence - doesn't matter that it was a lie. The goal in absolute control of the total narrative. We know they don't control public opinion anymore - Trumps approval rating is rock solid and hasn't moved an inch. They will come after the emerging free internet - EPIK needs to stay strong. I believe the rule has to be that if it isn't against the law then it should be protected. Freedom is too valuable. Even here we have to over police because of how it will be used against us.

Need to start going after the customers of the companies that do no support free speech.
This is exactly what they do to us, we're not helpless, and we need to stop being blind and lazy, no it's not going away and the more people are staying muted means it will only get worse..
Learn their tactics and adapt.
I think so too - the problem is that they ask risk being "cancelled" by payment processers, banks, etc. We genuinely need an entire new ecosystem because the current congress isn't going to help us. We can only hope that based state legislatures and governors take up our cause. I am not sure how a law would work because the companies also have a 1st amendment right too. Meaning, Visa as a private company has a right to refuse to do business - I think - but this is out of control. It's genuinely like oligarchs on a mission to crush any platform that supports free speech - so it seems this free speech internet ecosystem is going to have to live on bitcoin. It may get worse if they go after local banks.
There's no such thing as "hate speech".
