I just shake my damn head...

Twitter: started and managed by liberals
Facebook: started and managed by liberals
Amazon: started and managed by liberals
Google: started and managed by liberals
now
Reddit: started and managed by liberals

Conservatives want to use liberal owned and operated platforms and cry and whine like babies when it doesn’t work out to their liking...

How smart do you have to be to see?

Where are the conservative social media entrepreneurs and platforms? Or are liberals that much smarter?

It doesn’t take long to see what the left has been doing to those that try and establish free speech platforms.

Twitter was started and managed by the CIA.

Facebook was started and managed by the CIA.

Google was started and managed by the CIA.

They all started out neutral, and particularly Facebook and Google got away with massive law violations, while buying any up any competitors (Youtube, Instagram, for example.)

Trivia: Google was started at Stanford, and was using over half of Stanford's entire mainframe computing capability during the start up. Want to guess who runs a CIA internship? Stanford. Don't get me started on Harvard, which is where Facebook started.

Trivia: the CIA operation Lifelog was intended to collect all information about a person. They officially killed the LifeLog program on February 4, 2004. Guess what started that day? "On February 4, 2004, Zuckerberg launched "TheFacebook", originally located at thefacebook.com"

Tech sites (the social media) are created and run by young people. Young people are, by their nature, liberal because they are naive, idealistic, and immature.

To add insult to injury, young people who founded and run social media have recently come out of colleges that are hotbeds of communist indoctrination.

No need to whine about it...it is what it is.

As an aside, I think I heard the other day that recently YouTube had seen a sharp decline in traffic due their PC banning of certain videos. This was a big concern to management (naturally).

In other words, it may take time, but, though the creators and managers of social media may be liberal, conservatives make up large segments of their most lucrative markets.

We have to let the markets work their magic.

Markets operate on a "survival of the fittest" principle. As some parts of the social media learn they can thrive by serving conservative markets and others suffer because they don't, instinct will help the smarter of these young naive idiots grow up.

Liberals are colluding to shut out and shut down conservative tech alternatives.

Gab.ai - created as a conservative alternative to Twitter. Liberal bullies got it shut down before it started, getting it banned from app stores, its social media accounts shut down, and censored from search results via Google.

Subscribestar - a neutral alternative to Patreon - liberal bullies organized threats and leaned on payment processing third parties like Mastercard to shut it down. This is a violation of trade law, companies organizing to shut down rivals.

Dissenter - a conservative commentary plugin. Banned by Firefox. Mozilla and Chrome try to shut it down, saying it violates their use policies.

You want conservative alternative media? Big Tech chokes that off in many ways.

Google downranks them in search results while privileging Twitter. Facebook has long throttled conservative sources. One example is poisoning the well by falsely flagging content as questionable or false when it comes from conservative sources. Another is removing them from news trends, artificially promoting content that fits liberal prejudices, and lying to people about links being bad. Twitter and Facebook both shadow-ban people - you think your followers see it but really don’t.

Then there’s the systematic oppression. Liberal hate mobs organize to lie to shut down content creators. Falsely flagging content as hate speech or DCMA violations to get them demonetized. You can still post, but you aren’t paid.
Big Tech firms do it in their own way, working together to deplatform people they don’t like. They started with Alex Jones, have moved on to Pamela Gellar and Paul Joseph Watson.

Oh, and payment processors are refusing to process payments to them. Want to send money to Pamela Gellar or Jihad Watch? Have to send a check, because Paypal doesn’t like it. Want to send money to the Proud Boys? Their group bank account AND the personal bank accounts of members were shut down.

That’s aside from liberals trying to get people fired and rendered unemployable. That’s the weaponization of poverty. Sure, you can speak, but I hope you don’t mind being afraid of being left homeless. Never mind the real risk they’ll show up at your home and assault you or attack you in public.

If you want tacky, look at the stories of conservatives put in Facebook jail for posting Tweets and audio of liberal threats against them ... for violent content.

Tommy Robinson was on the campaign trail in the UK and assaulted three times in one day, all caught on video, and police wouldn’t take a police report. Dana Loesch gets death threats sent to her home, to her children, and police don’t care. Or just get hit for wearing a MAGA hat, while the bully says they’re the victim because your clothing triggers them.

The parallel financial attack is trying to get advertisers to drop conservative content creators, and Google removing its ads from sites like Breitbart. Deny them funding so they’re more likely to fold.

Liberal fascists are attacking conservatives on every front. They SYSTEMATICALLY shut down every startup to rival Big Tech, the mainstream media or even private individuals who are having an influence.

You're exactly right, bigbob. Where, indeed, are the ... *ahem* ... truly conservative, libertarian, or objectivist programmers who can whip up a killer application for electronic commerce and social media that overcomes the semi-monopoly currently held by the unholy heptad of intensely leftist Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, Google, Reddit, eBay, and Amazon? O_O

Does this all sound like dropping an enormous hint? ^_^

“Where are the conservative social media entrepreneurs and platforms? Or are liberals that much smarter?”

Too simplistic, bigbob. The fascist social media has the economic power to shut down any and all conservative competitors. It can cut off the sale of apps, for example, needed by Gab to compete.

Excellent and valid question. Many have wondered the same thing. Gab is the only one that comes to mind but there are probably others. They just are popular like Reddit and the others. Bitchute is a good alternative to the free speech silencing YouTube.

There needs to be an entire industry based on conservative and free speech use to counter the criminal left.
