They're trash anyway

Since I'm actually left leaning libertarian, I say we force companies to allow any kind of speech

Twitter, Facebook et al have never been good. They never will be good

Why should be allow our corporations to censor us if we believe we shouldn't be censored

spam is a serious problem though, allowing any kind of speech at all is a bad idea but i agree with the general idea

You don't own their business

Spam can be dealt with

@Gilgamesh if these big companies weren't beyond the critical mass point where they become social blackholes yes. But they are far far far to big and influential now

Then what is the answer

Rely on the rich?

That is antithetical

same thing we did for ma bell

Stop using them. Go back to chat rooms, forums, make use of the blockchain services

i think the ultimate issue is the payment processors, you can make your own platform but if they payment processors dont like you you're fucked no matter what

What, we all go back to 4chan?

so do the hosts, the name domains, etc

>blockchain and forums are 4chan
HowNew.ru

>auto URLs it

I'm not new, I just stopped lurking like ten years ago

I'm not talking about 4chan m80

we're at the point that this situation cannot be resolved any other way then forcefully breaking them up with monopoly laws

Lol

Look

The issue of too many people voluntarily using Twitter? How do you break that up?

I think Alex Jones is a shill. But he was banned across several platforms that are not owned by the same people within a day or two.

That issue shows conspiracy

They conspired

when twitter is the 100lb gorilla in the room that forces all people there because all the people are already there? nothing much

is it conspiracy or is it mob mentality?

How do you, via regulation, break up twitter?

from square for example

Conspiracy is people working together in secret against another group or person

It's common

well it didnt seem that secret

Word

The phrase conspiracy theory is tainted

It's very common

seperate the varied industries it owns like square pay, break the indivual companies it bought back into their own businesses and prevent it from buying more of it's competitiors

Whenever someone uses conspiracy theorist derogatorily, I cringe

Sorry, how does that fix the social monopoly?

Miso, breaking up companies isn't libertarian
