Back when political groups like Media Matters started deplatforming/going after anyone not supporting one particular political party, a lot of us who follow that sphere closely, tried getting the GOP to do something other than bitch on Fox News.Frankly, I think it's high time we started stripping away "platform" protections from these unaccountable social media megacorps. See how willing they are to play favorites with certain users when they risk taking on liability for potentially ANYTHING posted on their site if they don't provide the content neutrality that the term "platform" implies.
When any speaker at colleges who was not 100% up on 'current second' edicts from the radical left was deplatformed and often physically attacked, we did likewise and tried spreading the word that we all better start fighting back against the tech companies that were the locus of the 'organizing'.
Now you have the current deplatforming and hard left regressives going after literally anyone, political or not, who oppose them. Part of me wants to just sit back and let them consume all those brainlets who 'knew better' and mocked us for making mountains out of molehills because to be blunt, they fucking deserve it.
But reality is an ugly thing at times and it's going to be the normies that fix this at the voting booth by removing anyone, Dem, Indy or GOP, that supports the left's 1984 agenda. We have to put in people WILLING to enact the programs/laws to ensure tech company neutrality. And right now, that doesn't exist.
