Good ideas and bad ideas are free speech. That is a fact and Americans have believed in it for centuries. But now, posting about conservative ideas is not allowed. Because of social media censorship, The New York Post can no longer share its ideas on Twitter. I cannot. Thousands of other conservatives cannot. Who’s next? Breitbart? The Daily Wire? Fox News? Maybe even the Wall Street Journal? If no specific guidelines are given and every decision about who to censor is clouded in transparency, then how can we know who the social media censors will come for next?

The GOP better wake up. They can no longer turn a blind eye toward this growing threat. We need to put maximum pressure on them.
No more empty words or political theater. The only thing that matters is action.
There is only one action that matters, and Congress is irrelevant.
Bust the Trusts, Teddy Roosevelt style.
The Silicon Valley Trusts of today are like the old railroads, oil and steel trust, and later Ma Bell.
Bust ‘em.
The free market is not a suicide pact.
Conservatives need to find the oases out there.
FR, the r/conservative subreddit. I haven’t joined parler yet because I don’t know anyone who is on it yet, but I assume you can follow news and conservative people there too.
Where else? We need to spread the word.

They are a threat only if you grovel on in the dirt and beg for them to put their boot in your face.
No one has a gun against our head forcing us to use Facebook, Twitter or to watch ABCNNBCBS or Faux.
We can live without the NFL, NBA or MLB.
As Nancy Reagan said years ago, “Just say no!”
Agree with you but I just don’t see the feckless GOP doing anything about it.
American patriots had better wake up.
The fact that our many, many patriots have done next to nothing so far (actual responsive actions) is very frightening.
Frogs in the pot. The NWO cooks are chilling the wine, making the tartar sauce and setting the table now...
The right grouses about the Left but in actuality doesn’t hold their elected officials responsible for doing anything. We constantly give them a pass. That has to end.
We have to say what we mean and mean what we say, and tell our representatives to produce or you’re gone.
Only if you participate. We did just fine before social media.
Amen!
When the election is over... when Trump wins... when the riots that follow are quelled by the Insurrection Act and stacks of dead leftists.....
.... I want to see heads on pikes, when it comes to social media outlets.
I want to see waterboarding. Flaying. Slow torture by application ot The Blood Eagle.
(he's right -- Hunter is a corrupt degenerate liar, and so is his father)
Only if you participate. We did just fine before social media.
Just say no to Social Media.
Simple isn’t it.
Just say no to so called social media!
FR is my only social media. As for the rest, my opinion’s not that important, outside of the voting booth.
Involvement in social media has cost many folks their jobs.
The answer to this problem is the same as to that of liberal dominance of mainstream media. We supported Rush Limbaugh and other talk radio hosts, then Fox News. I suspect that Parler or other similar platforms will also become more dominant.
I agree with the sentiment, but I think it would be more effective to regulate them as utilities or “common carriers” than to try to break them up as trusts. I think that would allow them to still be effective platforms, but also protect free speech.
Agreed. At least Cruz and Hawley have finally woken up to it and want to start fighting back.
Parler has lots of conservatives, but it is not as good of a platform as Twitter in m opinnion. the conservative subreddit is excellent, as is here. Do you know of any others?
FR is my only social media.
Same here.
