If you do not like censorship on social media, why not use another service?

I do not like five guys burgers, so I go and eat elsewhere like IN-N-OUT

I do not like under armour, so I go and use Nike

Why do cultists cry about "muh 1a" and "muh freedom" when it comes to how a non-government agency runs their own business?

[Seamanbeast]

I don't get it either. Most of them are old fashioned goofballs who come from Texas or flyover-land and want everything to be like it was in the "good ole days" when the white man was the king of the castle. They feel their power slipping every day and so they just yearn to be heard and witnessed. Taking away their platform to scream and cry on makes them cry even harder like big man-babies.

If a gay couple doesn't like not getting a wedding cake why don't they go to another bakery?

The problem is where you draw the line and the number of people getting a certain type of info. The Germans in Germany only got info from one source and look how that turned out. 3.7 billion people use ********, if Zuckerberg decides that everyone needs to hear America sucks and prevents anyone from stating otherwise then 3.7 billion people are gonna believe it. Do you expect half the world to just switch platforms? People are lazy and stupid, they have been since the dawn of time and will remain so until the end of it, that's why opinions of all nature are important, let people swim through the **** and find the water.

Repped for bringing an interesting perspective.

Because ******* commies have that shut down too.

Keep suppressing speech and make 70million people feel as if they cant say a word about what is happening and see how that works out in the end.

If you don’t like getting paid $8/hr, why not go find another job?

we saw what happened.
one day in the capitol and pussy liberals chit bricks then hid in their basements in the fetal position crying about "INSURECTION".

imagine being that weak.

[RIKTER]

OP routinely gets banned, begs mods to un ban him and if that doesn't happen, makes multiple alts to keep posting instead of finding another burger joint to frequent.

Mods should ban him again telling him to take his own advise.

[nin-com-poop]

If you don't like being payed $9.50 then look for another job OP.

Somehow OP missed the whole Parlor saga.

[CrimsonSteel]

The same people who whinge and cry and b!tch about imagined fascism and authoritarianism rub their nips rigid when it is actually exacted against their political opponents.
"Start your own platform! Then we'll get it banned."

Much like Westboro Baptist Church gaslit people into anger, the political zealots of today have stolen their tactics and applied it into race, gender and politics, utilizing disingenuous, *******y snark as they root for the tech oligarchs to crush any voice of dissent that isn't dripping with hive-mind rhetoric.

Also, anyone who uses "muh" to be condescending and frame opposing viewpoints is a massive *******.

[chaunce54]

I guess that's why I don't have a twitter, instagram, snapchat or tik tok account. I have FB and LinkedIn, but rarely use either.

[Jasonw1178]

REALITY is that less and less people are using social media. I hardly ever get on it. Seems like less people watch the cable news. I still have FB but hardly post anymore, except pics of my dogs and crap. When I do get on, there is a lot less traffic.

Seems that ********, Twitter, Google and a few other tech companies think they are too big to fail. They can do whatever they want, nothing can defeat them, they have a hold on the market. Many who came before them said the same thing but they are gone now.

The ravings of an absolute retard lol.

[Trillhouse]

Because they need the feeling being oppressed to justify their bigotry.

I chose to go to Parler but they shut it down. Unfortunately Amazon owns 40 percent of the servers in the world.

Just because a private business does something legal doesn’t mean it doesn’t violate the cultural norms and expectations of free speech. When companies become larger and more powerful than the government they can do as much harm in the short term. The only difference is they cannot enforce their tyranny with guns.

[EasternHammer]

Normally it is very possible to no longer do business with a certain company and simply buy a different product from someone else. But in the case of an industry where there are very few or even just a single company offering that product or service it's not so simple. Like when Rockefeller produced all the oil in the Unites States, or when ATT controlled every telephone line? We have the TINA problem-there is no alternative. Industries which have produced monopolies or near monopolies are tightly regulated and for good reason. The consumer has no recourse to the market. For example, you pay someone-could be ATT, could be Verizon, Sprint, idk whoever-to provide cable and phone access. Do you think your phone provider can legally turn off you phone service if they disagree with your political opinions? No, they can't and for good reason. Why should ******** and other social media platforms have that power?

Truth.

We've lost any sense of social unity and trust. Sure, it's technically legal for a corporation to censor opposing views on their website, but it goes against the ideals and social expectations of the culture. Social media companies in particular have historically been allowed to operate in a legal grey area, under the expectation that they were acting in good faith. That's cleary not the case anymore and they are a net negative on the stability of society, and actively work to subvert it.

The recent attack on parler was a blatant grab to consolidate power and retain a monopoly on marketshare
