Monopolists of the past never acted as blatantly as do the greedy Social Media monopolists in their obvious effort to suppress or destroy competition.

Is this they guy with the nose ring who looks like an unkempt street person?

Proof that wealth doesn’t confer class or intelligence.

Jack like most of his millenial contemporaries is a schmuck.

The Reich these people create will be very different from what they expect.

Will not last very long either. Hope they enjoy their “win”.

Will my Parler account be restored in a week when they have new servers? Also we users should be allowed (and encouraged) to invest in the service.

One thing that could be said for Standard Oil's John D. Rockefeller. Although he was a monopolist, he never openly gloated nor mocked the competitors that he suppressed or destroyed. The same cannot be said of the twenty-first century blatant monopolist, Jack Dorsey of Twitter.

Rockefeller lived in America before it was fascist. Now that it is fascist the government establishes favored monopolies and crushes (or allows to be crushed) any competitors.

Dorsey has nothing to fear and he knows it.

All you have to do is look at Jacks eyes. That is a very lonely and unhappy man.

They are certainly feeling their oats. They seem to be way out over their skis.

HE KNOWS that he can now do this with impunity because there will be no one in government at this time to hold him accountable. He’s protected as long as his site serves as the propaganda arm of the party in power.

Classic restraint of trade. In a country with an honest justice system this one wouldn't last a week. In one with a bought-and-paid for justice system, it will. They rode high until Teddy Roosevelt came along.

A system of government run by crony capitalist oligarchs in bed with dictators and with full government support for maintaining a monopoly is nothing new: Mussolini had one, and so did Hitler. It's called fascism.

Fatal mistake. Even the ‘rats will abandon Twitter because it’s a boring circle jerk.

I don’t think anyone should pay attention to what he is tweeting on Twitter. I don’t.

does anyone have a twitter account?? I’m sure the appropriate reply would be the image at the link- it shows twitters stock dropping 10% from Monday until after hours trading on Friday:

And a board of directors.

Only two types of peeps wear nose rings; adolescent girls and Jack Dorsey.
