They can suspend or ban conservative contributors and users, but, can’t conservatives/republicans play the same game.

Aren’t conservatives and republicans a huge block of their users and contributors?

Then, why not we conservatives and republicans suspend and ban Twitter from our lives? We can decide to stop using Twitter and have them lose close to half their ‘audience’.

We can hit them even harder in the pocketbook by having the conservative/republican investors pull their money out; certainly, there are many other better places to ‘park’ our money.

Complaining while watching them do more harm doesn’t get us any satisfaction. It’s like the corner grocery store. If they don’t serve us and we don’t visit their store, they don’t succeed and eventually die.

Boycotting social media won't work, for at least two reasons. 1) The Saudi princes, etc. who "invest" in these companies don't care how much money they lose. They regard their "investment" as spending money to silence their opposition. 2) Without social media, we're back to hanging flyers on doorknobs, etc.

Except in the case of withholding funding to IPOs this makes no sense. When you sell shares someone else buys them.
