How do we strike back against these Big Tech goliaths who are censoring out any non-conformist (read: non-left wing) posting on their forums? How can we bring them down?

Stock is down 0.54 at the moment.

The other thing we could do is take their IP away from them until they reversed course. Except that Obama took control of the internet out of our hands and handed it to the Global Community.

Coincidence?

“So How do we fight against Big Tech cenorship?”

1. Stop beginning thoughts with ‘so.’ Sounds high school.

2. Learn to spell.

3. Stop posting vanities in the news forum.

gab is kind of a pain. High maintenance where in you have to constantly “mute” people who post crap. Once they follow you, you see their posts. New members tend to run around and follow everyone so they can get exposure. The software/code behind it isn’t all that robust either. If they suddenly got triple the traffic tomorrow, I do believe the system would crash. It freezes up my browser after a while.

mewe.com looks to be a good replacement for facebook.

bitchute.com and real.video look to be good replacements for youtube but they’re not going to flourish until they can set things up so that people can monetize their content easily. Youtube has the advantage of being run by google and google has google ads and adwords which make up 80% of all internet advertising.

For things to change, people are going to have to be pro-active and help these other platforms become known. I have a fb account and my friend’s list consists of almost solely family. The only reason I go there is to see if anyone has been born, died, is in bad health etc. I’m sort of the black sheep of my family but I might be able to get one or two people to switch.

We just need two of everything. 2 youtubes, two googles, 2 scoops.

He’d never go to GAB, it allows pornography, is limited by design, has small audiance, and is DOA for prime time. Sorry if you are affiliated with them, but I’ve taken a look at it several times and never once felt motivated to go back. It was a nice try but flawed. Plus, based in Antigua? What a loser.

There is a big untapped market for tech companies founded or managed by conservatives. Remember that’s how foxnews was born.

Don’t use them, like not watching National Felon League on tv.

That's what they want. To limit your influence to preaching to the choir. That's what they want when they say that religion should also be confined to the churches, not schools or the public.

To hell with that. We use their tactics. The FCC should shut down Facebook, and Twitter, penalize them billions for violation of the First Amendment.

You can always boycott them. They make their $Billions from advertising based on web traffic and compiling data on your information. Believe me, I'd like to hit them back - HARD!

You know, I’ve tried Gab. I really want to see it work. But every time I go there, seems it is inundated with posts bemoaning the “Jooos”. I know I can hide posters, but it’s never ending and it gets old and ridiculous. I’m all for free speech, but i have no desire to suffer idiots. Or to constantly work my page so that I don’t have to deal with their ignorance.

Not sure what the answer is, but racism that really is racism is tiring. Unfortunately, the left only encourages by their insistence that everyone white is racist.

heh heh

The reason sites have to ban Jew-hate isn’t because site owners love Jews. It’s because Jew-haters will take over and make the site worthless for normal people. Too bad gab can’t understand that.
