I would like to know what we, as individuals, can do to stop this kind of thing. And don’t say “cancel your account”, because while many have done so, we’re a drop in the bucket, and only God Himself could convince everyone out there, to give up Twitter and Facebook. It’s an addiction for many. Other than calling our congressmen, and praying, what can we do?

It's going to get interesting. I think this is going to be decided, in part, in the stock market and possibly by anti-trust legislation. In my opinion, one of the big reasons the market has been down recently is because investor faith in some high-ticket tech stocks (e.g. Google, Facebook, Amazon) has diminished based on fears of anti-trust intervention. This was always a consideration, but when Google and Facebook went all in on censorship in a politically motivated manner, the possibility of a confrontation became much more probable.

The techs are past the point of return and have gone 'all in'. Their exposure is immense, and they are thus hoping and banking on the Democrats taking back power and protecting them. Hopefully they will be very disappointed, though many of us are invested - from prior to their complete politicization.

Don’t use twitter or face book. Don’t deal with people that do so as much as possible. Try to convince others to quit.

Honestly both will be dead on the heap of tech that tried to hold back the innovation that comes with our digital age. 10 years top.
