What the hell are you GOP eunuchs waiting for? Social media is a utility and its major players are monopolistic. Regulate it.

"Social media is a utility and its major players are monopolistic. Regulate it."

That's a fact and what needs to be done but they'll never get it through the House until after the 2020 election if then as long as democrats are the majority in the House.

Nope, we need to bring Twitter to heel. The leftist Globalists would like nothing better than to have us banned from the market square and become unseen.

Hey, Mitch McCuckold!

They're NOT your friends, even if you do go to the same cocktail parties.

Twitter is opt-in. The only reasonable thing I see happening is the revocation of patents that are currently securing market share and not serving the public at large.

I don’t do Twitter, but it seems there could be a conservative-run alternative to Twitter. Why hasn’t some conservative group been working on this? Why is Twitter being allowed to control and humiliate conservative members?

I am 62. Technically very adept. First used the primitive internet in the late 1970's. Very well educated, intensely interested in politics. But, I have refused to use Twitter. It seems that's what people need to do - refuse to cede power and importance to Twitter by not using it, and not commenting on it.

Not in this case, but in general. That’s my nickname for him.

Why isn't there one total conservative TV station owned or funded by rich conservatives?

Twitter needs to be deplatformed - IMMEDIATELY.

Force Cloudflare to no longer serve them.
Have their DNS regsitrars refuse to host them.
Have their hosting services blocked at the backbones.

We must push back against this.

Sure, people are trying to start them up.

You know what they face? Collusion from Big Tech:

1. Apps that directly access the website get banned from the App Stores;

2. Even general purpose browsers - ones for protocols NOT based on HTTP - get banned from stores if they DO NOT ACTIVELY BLOCK these right-wing alternative domains;

3. Web hosting companies reject them, or throw them off after initially accepting them because the host company gets threatened;

4. Payment processing companies refuse to do business with them;

5. They get vilified in the press because bad people post dumb things - and then if illegal, get banned afterwards...
...meanwhile bad people post dumb things on the mainstream platforms, and if liberal, never get banned;

Etc., etc.

Check out the history of Gab, Bitchute, Parler, Minds, etc. to see what goes on.

The word is:Collusion.

Trump gets his message out unmolested via Twitter. So, there’s that.

That’s great news. Piss off the leader of the Senate because you are determined to conceal numerous death threats against him.

That’s some real mensa strategy there.
