Lawsuit time....
A massive class-action suite would do them some good.

Since business is lost, maybe they could be sued for defamation.

Yeah if the roles were reversed and Google was conservative there would already be a few dozen lawsuits. You’d have to pick the right judge though. A leftist judge would throw it out.

If business is lost, it seems you could sue damages for the lost business.

Time for some Conservatives to start some Conservative friendly versions of these entities.

The other thing that many so called news sites are doing is eliminating the comments section. They want deny any platform whatsoever to people that disagree with them or even discuss the topic being presented.

There is an inverse correlation between a comments section being provided and the leftist tilt of a news site.

How about a conservative freeze on ALL platforms for one week? Something like that, to get their attention? “Ooooh, stocks are falling.” Might be a good wakeup call.

I'm no tech expert but we have Free Republic.

Couldn't someone start a Facebook and Twitter type websites that are friendly to Conservatives?

It’s good this has all been put out there for people to see visually what Google is doing.

The founder of Mozilla, Brendan Eich, was fired as their CEO after it became known that he donated to a pro-Prop. 8 group. That was the California ballot initiative that barred same-sex marriage. Mozilla makes the Firefox browser. He has since started another company. I don’t know what it does but I don’t think it’s social media.

I've been asking that ever since evidence started popping up about how these sites are actively anti-conservative. Anyone who succeeds in creating a conservative alternative will become wealthy.

He just created another browser called Brave. I use it - and dropped Firefox after they dumped their CEO because he supported Prop 8.

There certainly is a lot of censorship being pushed by the Leftists.
