Everyone already knows it's happening.. Mark Zuckerberg is very open about it.. the problem is that conservatives are mostly Boomers and because they're mostly Boomers they are lazy and cowards.. they won't do a damn thing about itt
"Start your own $3 trillion Facebook!""
No. Fix THIS facebook u idiots
they need government regulation. The government exists for when a corporation gets so big that it can actually harm america. the government exists as the only entity that can take on giant corporations.. but conservatives have been trained since birth to oppose that idea..
I dont identify as republican or Conservative. Im a trump patriot party memberr
I'm tired of this bullshit. I want people that will do something about it instead of complaining. When Democrats get power they do stuff. When conservatives get power they complain..
I want people who will regulate facebook. I want people who will take action and have the government prevent Facebook from doing it. I don't want Facebook to be able to control the media. and if you do want that because of some pro corporate bullshit you were fed by the Koch brothers then fuck your ideology its bad for Americaa
Better idea - how about encouraging them to use one of a growing pile of alt tech social websites that have already put in the money, sweat, and time? MeWe, Minds, Gab, HERE, Bitchute, Rumble, Odysee, etc etc etc.
If my 75-year-old mother and her friends can bounce from FB to Gab without missing a beat, I'm pretty sure that most other boomers can do so just as easily. You just have to point out where they can go and help them get there.
What we needed was legislative relief to prohibit banks, payment processors, hosting providers, etc., from deplatforming entire business just because they committed the cardinal sin of wrongthink.
It's a bit difficult to foster competition when the entire infrastructure can be ripped out from under you just because a dozen libtards started screaming madly on Twatter.
Realistically, what we need to see are massive fines directed especially to banks and payment processors for canceling merchant accounts for no other reason than "you might hurt our feelings for saying mean things." They claim it's because of their risk assessment; that such accounts are more likely to see chargebacks. Which, I suppose, has happened before with libtards signing up and then issuing a chargeback specifically to harm the company. But, I think that could be dealt with as well; if chargebacks are used as a weapon, and it can be demonstrated, then the people issuing them should be fined the amount of the service they were purchasing plus an additional fee.
The reality is that the entire system is deliberately designed from one end to the other to prevent the growth of small tech startups. We should have seen legislation sometime in the last 4 years to limit the effects of cancel culture, but because the GOP is in bed with the same corrupt tech-authoritarians the left is, we'll likely never see a solution.
In the meantime, you're absolutely right. We MUST support alt tech where possible, but it's an uphill battle and a lot of people aren't willing to forgo the inconveniences of having to, e.g., mail checks to Gab. We do need to take a stand, here, and now. But it's not going to be easy.
