We need to go after “Big Tech” with anti-trust legislation.
When Facebook and Google don’t like a viewpoint, their discrimination and limitations impact your first amendment rights because they control so much of the public square.

We went after Microsoft a decade or more ago for bundling an operating system with a browser. Google controls a browser, search engine, most advertising revenue online, content (including Youtube) and social media site. Not only are they discriminating against conservative and libertarian content, they are now going after INDIVIDUALS.

Dr. Jordan Peterson and statistics professor Salil Mehta are two examples that I know of. These personal attacks result in loss of correspondence, files, income, speech ... that is a threat to all of our freedoms.

Well, how about we file a class action lawsuit?

Exactly right.
