Twitter should adopt a responsible policy and not allow anything to be broadcast across their media that can be damaging to security of the United States.

Bullshit. Conservatives have always argued for entrepreneurial freedom of private corporations within a free and functioning market in which there is true competition. Take market competition away, and censorship of such monopolists quickly turns into despotism.





That's actually a really good argument!

You're not making a substantively different argument form the one I am making at all.


But I haven't seen a significant movement of conservatives to break up or nationalize these monopolies yet.

You said that what the silicon valley giants are doing (censorship, either outright or with sneaky "shadowbans" and such) is exactly what conservatives want private corporations to be able to do (ie abuse their power).
Which is just not true since real competition is a necessary ingredient of the right's "free markets" doctrine.


Yes, but if google, twitter et al keep overreaching like they are doing right now, they might finally trigger a more serious political backlash, one which leads to serious efforts at breaking them up.

Cool, get the ball rolling.Call your Senator and House Rep today.

it's not going anywhere because it's exaggerated to a ridiculous degree while the youtube personalities conservatives follow cash in

there are no big movements to change because the drama is cash and all the conservative pawns are just that pawns

this is like saying Trump wants the media to change or social media, hell no he doesn't he wants the drama just the same as all the conservative personalities being "censored"

you guys are marks

"When conservatives get censored, they're actually still the bad guys!"

Orwellian to the tenth degree.

Jones and Crowder have massive audiences

friends of them have massive audiences

the numbers are there for change but what do they have all the snowflakes doing? paying for subs, buying this buying that, donating to the cause which is actually just their profit

they don't have the peons doing shit because they don't want them to do anything other than donate

yall sit around and complain and pay for their toys, there is a serious lack of bootstraps within this portion of the conservative group

Crowder is not making money for being deplatformed, because he wasn't. He's making money because he was demonetized, but allowed to continue producing content.

As Maza pointed out, demonetization doesn't work against established channels; Youtube creators have long since learned to diversify their income streams to insulate themselves against Youtube caprice and unpredictable ad revenue.

Even so, I'm sure that Crowder didn't want it to play out like this at all. He gets the last laugh because Youtube chose not to terminate his account to avoid publish and partner backlash. They're receiving backlash from the left and their own employees instead. Who knows how this would play out if we ran it a second time, or how it will play out if similar situations occur in the future. If Crowder were to lose his channel, he'd find it increasingly difficult to grow his audience, and all acts get stale.

Is Alex Jones making more money now, or earlier? No idea, because he has fallen off the map. You sound sure, so I'll wait for you to breakdown his finances for me.

You really need to stop focusing on ecelebrities, though. That's no ones primary focus. The concern is that we know that algorithms are being used to blacklist "sensitive content", or in Google's words, to ensure that "authoritative" voices are heard. Unsurprising for a company notoriously hostile to internal conservative voices, but they have a very particular idea of what that means.
