It’s not going to happen. There will not be any ‘internet gulags’. The big tech companies have got into the censorship business. It is their platform. They have every right to do this. I have every right to criticize it. You have every right to accept or leave the platform.
First, I want to say I know nothing about these social media platforms. I don’t go on them. They are a huge time sync. My time is very valuable to me. I use Facebook for business purposes. I do not have time to argue with trolls on Twitter. Social media is not social. From the very little I see on Facebook, it is uninformed people posting uninformed opinions. Here is what I know. The free market is going to make the big tech companies pay.
The alternative to Twitter is Gab. Their mission statement makes their marketing plan clear.
Gab is not going to be involved in the censorship business. The users are small compared to Twitter. However, they are growing exponentially.
Tim Pool does an epic job of tearing up Twitter and their nonsensical misgender polices.
We all know Twitter employees lean left. They should just own it and move on.
Duck Duck Go (DDG) is moving up as an alternative to Google. Its marketing statement is based on privacy.
Here is their traffic.
Up, Up and away!
Dissenter is adding another layer to the internet. It is a browser section that creates a comment section for any website. There is nothing website owners can do about this added layer. YouTube deletes comments. The free market adds it.
Where is the Federal Government on all of this? The show trials they had with Mark Zukerburg and the other tech giants shows how clueless they are.
Clueless=good!
The WSJ reported that the FCC has collected just $6,790 of $208 million it has fined robocallers. This is the sign of a bureaucracy losing legitimacy. A bureaucracy losing legitimacy is like a tiger losing its fangs and claws. It becomes a harmless cat.
The decentralization of information has changed the world forever. Technology is changing so rapidly no one can keep up with it. Least of all the Federal Government. These big tech companies are pushing their limits. All they are doing is annoying people. As quickly as Twitter rose, it can crash and burn. Gab AI Inc offers common stock. You can reserve stock in Gab’s next funding round. It is a new business venture and as such is a high risk investment. In the mean time, don’t stress the internet gulags. They are not going to happen.
