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.
Government is a potential source of tyranny, but it isn’t the only one.
“Unproven - what percentage of web traffic goes through those sites?”
Youtube is owned by Google, Facebook and Instagran are both owned by the same company. Between them and Twitter, I would say the majority of online commentary/news goes through them. Leaving these exclusively in the hands of the left to use as they want is a very dangerous idea. You know the people who wield power and influence over these companies are the same people who think the American founding fathers were evil old white racists right? They aren’t using this monopoly of influence for good.

And who gets to control the government if these social media companies get to control the mainstream narrative and shut out alternative voices? Don’t think your constitution is safe if the only voices allowed a mainstream platform are the ones who want to smash it to pieces in order to impose their cultural marxism and ideas of ‘social justice’ on the world. If you do, you can kiss goodbye to the constitution because many of them are already hostile to the 1st and 2nd amendments, but by that point, you will have already argued in favour of giving them almost complete control over mainstream political discourse and allowed them to argue in favour of tearing up the constitution with nobody to argue against it. That constitution is only as good as the will that exists to abide by and protect it.
