Everyone on the right seems outraged about Facebook’s censoring conservatives, but what makes that a legal issue or makes it otherwise wrong for a private company that sets its own standards the way it sees fit to set them to do so?
And what would the solution be if it is determined to be one, a legitimate legal issue, corrective laws that make the government the speech controller and censor of the internet? All posts and censorship by anyone on the internet have to have government permission?I say we’re likely to be better off leaving things as they are and only supporting those who have policies we agree with by using their sites instead of bringing government into the deal as the overruling authority.

The solution is simple,do NOT use feces book/twaddle and any other censoring platforms.
I would also say ask nicely that sites you like and support cut their ties with said platforms,I did say nicely!

Folks who store their life history including pics, videos and docs on social media plattforms might want to download copies of anything they don’t want to lose. If the lights go out on Facebook, youtube etc you will likely lose any content you had.
