The social media giants function as oligopolies that eschew direct competition and maintain their own spaces within the marketplace.
See Parler. Any new "Twitter" is going to have a lot of people who are unhappy with the status quo. Some of them are going to be nuts. The tech giants use that as an excuse to deplatform, which prevents competition from forming.
This is exactly the sort of situation that conservatives and liberals use to agree on, but "owning Trump" has you guys bending over asking for more.
Google the term "compelling interest" and then use free speech to call in a bomb threat somewhere bogie.
Making someone you aren't arresting for inciting riots stop inciting riots is compelling interest. His and your white privilege is so stronk that you feel he should be able to keep committing the crime after failing to stop after being told to repeatedly and not being arrested when he is obviously guilty. Lin Wood tweeted to behead Pence or some shit too.
It isn't conservative philosophy that is being banned, despite its completely impoverished state right now. No actual thought is under attack. Conservatives tweeting about how they can't tweet. Its idiotic.
Tweets for twits is Trump's only successful govt initiative and he doesn't even have that anymore he fucked that up too. What a complete fuck up.
