“You go to a different doctor.”

And what if all the doctors in town are of the same mindset? Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram etc are all owned by a handful of companies controlled by leftist ideologues instituting policies of silencing conservatives if they become too influential.

Alternatives like Gab, Telegram etc are not popular and don’t have the same mass audience, so they are essentially acting as a cartel that is stifling the rights of people who in their eyes, step out of line.

“Government is not reason, it is not eloquence,—it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant, and a fearful master” George Washington lived in an age multinational corporations didn’t exist, and private businesses certainly didn’t wield the kind of power governments and people that they do now. Back then, a government was the only instution powerful enough to excercise tyranny. Back then, you also had a very diverse range of press, even at the local level and the papers were usually very staunch rivals and didn’t conspire together to create a singular narrative the way social media companies today do.

The solution is sabotage. Conservatives need to find the best and brightest hackers to take down, harrass and disrupt the enemy. Google, Twitter, and Facebook may be powerful, but they are not immune.

Government's not your friend there - all they're interested in forcing doctors to do is perform abortions.

Funny how quickly some "conservatives" choose to forget how government force is actually used.

Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram etc [...] are essentially acting as a cartel

Unproven - what percentage of web traffic goes through those sites?

Back then, a government was the only instution powerful enough to excercise tyranny.

Government is still the only one who can use guns or lock you up - which matter just a bit more than blocking one from a web site.
