Why regulate or close down? Why not create new, better ones? Where are conservative tinkers, movers and primers, investors, technicians?

That was the correct answer. For 2012.

Fact is we're too far down the road for that now. A few social media behemoths have insurmountable inertia. Getting enough users to desert them for a new platform would be time consuming, and likely not include those people not already on our side whom we would want to persuade. Certainly none of that will happen before November.

The Left has been hoisting us on the petard of our own virtue in taking a hands-off "private companies can do what they want" approach. (yeah, tell that to the shopkeeper who is being forced to make his customers wear masks).

Frankly Trump should have reacted this way long before now.

NOTICE that it was a Trump post about mail in voting that they choose to do this on.

That is very significant.

Plus the left has been attacking any business they disagree with by denying financial services. It’s really hard to compete when you are not allowed access to money.

Obama would have had the IRS giving all these effers an anal exam if all these platforms were doing this to the Bolsheviks.
Can you imagine if this was reversed? The entire deep state would be setting these tech giants up for federal prison with some concocted charge.

We can’t play nice anymore. Too much at stake.
