That is a naive person's approach to the problem.
Read and learn.
And that's if they didn't do everything in their power to stop you, which they would.
You might want to read this:

It details some of the problems.
To what witch hunt do you refer? I don't see the message to which you are replying.
If I were starting a social media site I'd humbly tell you to get lost.
I know you don't like it but I expect Jim would tell you the same thing regarding his site that the public communicates on.
That was odd.
If it was as easy to build a railroad as it is to start a social media site, yes.
14th amendment applies to everybody.
Have you been paying attention to what’s going on in the country? With the 2016 election, the dems were one election away from never having to worry about elections again. I thought they were going to close ranks and start the censorhsip bs in earnest in 2016 but they got high on their own polling supplies. IOW, they bought their own bullsh!t that Hillary was unbeatable.
They’re not going to make that same mistake with the midterms. The radical left in charge of the fakestream media, tech giants and our very own 4 trillion dollar corrupt stasi state are going to pull out all the stops to prevent PDJT from exosing anymore of their corruption. They’re going ‘ALL-IN’. Whatever they can do to stop the deplorables from winning. This is for all the marbles. A do or die for the country.
‘Time’ to create our own social platforms is a luxury we don’t have. Obviously
And if FB cut off Alex Jones because he's black, a woman, disabled or elderly you might have an argument.
As it is, political viewpoint has never been a protected class in this country.
You really want to go there?
If you start having the government take over private businesses because you don't like their politics you've already lost the country.
Thanks.
I’m reminded that a french professor in college mentioned that more french died after the war than during thd war. That day will come.
If you were a little tiny website in the bigger scheme of things, I would do it. In fact, i've already done that on a couple of websites.
I know you don't like it but I expect Jim would tell you the same thing regarding his site that the public communicates on.
You keep wanting to invoke Jim and Free Republic. This is a blatantly dishonest comparison to these half trillion dollar Mega corporations who control an astonishing amount of the world's communications.
Are you trying to be dishonest, or are you just unaware that this is an intentionally misleading comparison?
Free Republic is no threat to the nation, in fact it is the opposite of that. These modern robber barons are in fact a very grave threat to the nation, but I fear you will have to be mashed by their mighty power before you finally get the idea that there is something more important at stake than their ability to control several billion people's ability to communicate without government making them play fair.
You want the magical "market" to solve a problem, and you have so much faith in it that you believe some deus ex machina will always emerge to rescue us.
Well what if one doesn't? What then?
When all communications are in the hands of our enemies and any attempt to communicate with millions of Americans is not allowed, where will we be at that time?
We will be a short distance from gulags, that's where we will be.
No company that operates on the intrernet siphoning profit from the content others post is anything but a public utility.
They can either behave or be regulated.
.
Alex Jones had 2 million followers on his YouTube channels. How fast can you build a social media site that will bring 2 million users to you in the same time frame as occurred with YouTube?
YouTube probably has 97% market share.
I just saw stats. He was getting something like half a million daily views of his stuff, and someone pointed out that CNN is only getting something like 900 thousand views, and they had a hell of a lot more overhead than did "INFOWARS".
CNN initiated this purge, and it is speculated that they did so because they saw INFOWARS becoming a real monetary threat to them.
“If you start having the government take over private businesses because you don’t like their politics you’ve already lost the country. “
I’m not prescribing a solution just stating the facts. The country was hanging by a thread after 8 years of the o’muslim regime...The left are going all-in to make sure that Obola’s dream of ‘fundamental transformation’ is achieved
Agree, entirely. They were overconfident and thought they were past the point of no return, which is why they are so hateful now. They could taste it, but it didn't happen, and now they know they can lose. We now have a war, only because we were fortunate enough to wake up in time before the last presidential election. If we hadn't, we would have lost before we realized fully that the left had long before declared war on us.
The left are unencumbered by ethics or morality, and this is something that should never be forgotten. Think of Ted Kennedy, putting his ambition and self-preservation before the life of a young woman whose death he was ultimately responsible for. The left kept him in office for essentially his whole adult life, and lionized him when he died. This is emblematic of the left.
I have an argument because he's a f***ing American Citizen. 14th amendment says we are all equal, so if they can't stop black people from sitting at their lunch counter, they can't stop anyone else either.
