Big Tech Censorship: Burying Biden-Ukraine story either wakes up Republicans or drives nail in their political coffin

"If even this isn't enough to trigger so-called conservatives to loosen Silicon Valley's death grip on America's public marketplace of ideas, nothing will. All the talk about defending free speech and fighting election interference will be exposed for the meaningless posturing that it is, much like all those years of hearing Republicans campaign on stopping illegal immigration, which they had no intention of doing.
In this case, however, the stakes are more personal for Republican politicians. This isn't only about throwing their constituents under the bus and giving lip service about political bias while taking donations from the likes of Google and Amazon. This time, the bus is about to run over them and leave tread-marks on their former careers in Washington."

Fortunately I don’t have much longer to live di this problem is fir someone else
Also, I neither have any use for facebook...twitter etc.
Apparently they think Ayn could do as she chose, and others would clean up after. For a bunch of people who assert such well-read intelligence, they don't bother to read, just jump into geriatric action.
I think the recent turn is less from school, and more from movies and social media group think. People are naturally inclined to root for the underdog. The problem is, the left promotes the wrong underdog.
We do a poor job of trying to appeal to the people in the middle, who are open to be swayed.
I'm happy to Gulch, a real Gulch, not a village in Wyoming. I'm happy to stand, fight and argue. I am frustrated by hanging around between these two extremes and complaining.
Reach is defined by the interests of the customer. Unfortunately it is a small minority that actually cares about their freedom.
The young have been brainwashed to trust government instead of relying on their own thinking ability. Most women would rather have false safety than take any risk to defend freedom. That leaves about 20% and at best a quarter of them understand the high stakes of losing individual liberty.
GAB is getting more successful, but will not be likely to get the "reach" of the empty headed idiocy of Farcebook or Twiddle. The elite cabal on Wall St control finance and aren't going to fund the competition unless they can completely control it.
We, libertarians (lower case), SUCK at using the same vehicles that the left uses so deftly. Why isn't there a freedom-oriented site with real reach?
This is a tool for communication and control. We all think such things should be free. The left uses it like cocaine. We use it like kale shakes and exercise.
Oh, yeah, besides the RINOs . . .
