I believe it's simpler than this, seeing as endless "useful" conflict will most likely result. Any regulatory results toward big tech can be ignored when suitable. The solution is to create comparable free speech platforms. The "users" are there in numbers to support this. Btw, what other industry do we call people "users".

Google, FB and all the rest are free. What do you get for free? What we're looking at. The media is now the center hub of the democratic party. WHO will see to regulating exactly?

We are not powerless. Throughout history people have overcome forces they deemed bigger and more powerful than themselves. We, too, can exert extraordinary power by simply abandoning these Nazi-style platforms. If enough of us stop using them, the impact will inevitably bring them down. But we must act!! Remember that the German Jews did not act on emerging signs of the coming annihilation because they simply couldn't believe that Evil that big could happen. By the time they faced the truth, it was too late. They eventually mobilized, working through the Underground, etc., but imagine if they had heeded the early warning signals coming from the government? We are at a "Fight or Die" moment in our history. Get off your ass and do something. If we don't act, free thinking and free expression are over.

Censorship itself isn't bad. It is the fact that often it is the truth that is censored. Darkness hates light. As such, there should be laws against unjust censorship which apply to ALL publications (which includes social media). One could require publishers to be licensed. What should be censored on this website would be immodestly dressed women (and men) in graphics. The printed words on this website (in the articles at least) aren't deserving of censorship. At least none have struck me. That doesn't mean that I agree with everything or believe that this website is infallible.

Good site to see things that are censored also: Red Ice TV - Questioning COVID-1984 Is Becoming Illegal, Censorship Epidemic altcensored.com/watch Censorship was rampant throughout Nazi Germany. Censorship ensured that Germans could only see what the Nazi hierarchy wanted people to see, hear what they wanted them to hear and read only what the *** deemed acceptable. The Nazi police dealt with anyone who went outside of these boundaries. Censorship dominated the lives of the ordinary citizen in Nazi Germany. www.historylearningsite.co.uk/.../censorship-in-nazi-germany So my question is, how is this big tech censorship any different then the National Socialist. Are these Facebooks, Google and Twitter any different then the 3rd reich?

Social media isn’t healthy. It makes people really stupid. I don’t want any part of it. It made me miserable

So....what else is new? It's always been, and always will be the, "Haves" and the "Have-nots"! In other words.....money talks, and whoever has a huge chunk of money can also impose rules and regulations on those who don't have a chunk of money!!!
