I said it a million times and I'll say it again.
All Trump has to do is turn the United States Post Office into a social media hub.
Let everyone sign up for a secured email address for their mail, existing post office stations can be package hubs, and people can create their own page with all the functions of Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

There are alternatives, but none of them rise to the quality of websites like Farcebook and Twikker. Now, let me clarify that statement in that I'm only talking about programming and website quality, not social bias those two websites embrace.
The websites that I'm aware of, Spreely, MeWe, USA.Life, do not let the user maintain control over what content shows on their news feed. Every post that is posted to the websites shows up on the news feeds, and there is no way to stop it.
If they were allow the individual user the same type of control they have with FB and Twikker, then perhaps they would have more people visit their websites.

Easier said than done. The same cabal that controls popular social media also seems to control banking and crowdsourcing.
One only has to read the tales of BitChute, Gab and many other startups.

YouTube used to put up videos similar to those I had been watching. In the case of Christian videos, I’ve noticed quite recently that I have a hard time finding them. I can watch one, refresh my YouTube and no further Christian videos are being presented. Maybe one if I scroll down a ways.

Once again POTUS does the heavy lifting while the do-nothing GOP Senate does what it does best: nothing.

And if they find bias?
What's the principle that says these private companies can't be politically biased?
I think it's bad for business if they get too partisan so they'll keep it reasonable but why is it the federal government's business?

If you can’t win with a market based solution, I guess you turn to goverment coersion.

These solutions use the public spectrum
To: McGruff
Awesome idea... Full fledged public hearings on the leftist media and those who influence them.

This past week Michelle Malkin interviewed five people who have been banned from one or more social media platforms. All of the conversations are interesting and available on YouTube.
Worth a listen.
