I think this approach is dangerous. I don’t think it wise for conservatives to agree to confine themselves to a marginalized digital ghetto now that the big tech companies have established themselves as virtual monopolies. Notice they were open and tolerant of everybody until they got big enough to start censoring. They know if we try to split off, we’d only be hurting ourselves.

A far better approach IMO is to break them up via antitrust action or use the power of government to strongarm them into allowing full freedom of expression again like they used to be. I think most of the public would support this.

Many of the conservatives banned from these sites are the little guys who do not have a megaphone to complain.

Maybe they should get together and file a class action.

Maybe the strategy is to sign up for these sites and when you get banned for being a conservative join the lawsuit.

It doesnt matter if the conservatives win the lawsuit. The point is to make the LEFTISTs disclose why people are being banned. Make them tell the truth.

We could do both. Take our business clout away from the leftist platforms while at the same time slam them with the full force of anti-discrimination law. But I have yet to hear a coherent plan for doing the latter.

Vague. Needs specifics.
