    Gab.com and Infowars.com are among many that are founded. As soon as companies responsible for electronic transmission of data are pressured to turn them off, anyone who disagrees with Liberals will be unable to voice their opinion online.

    Supporting Liberal Tech Giants "property rights" is counterproductive for Conservatives.

    Lets be clear about why conservatives are being banned from social media. It is because they are demolishing liberals in the marketplace of ideas. When consumers were given the option, they overwhelmingly selected conservative (anti SJW) content. Worse still it is red-pilling gen Z.

    Their latest target is Soph.... a 14 year old girl who produces much higher quality content than CNN. She is seriously more intelligent, more articulate and much better at framing an argument than any of the CNN staff.

    But digital information does not travel by itself. As soon as Liberals pressure transmission companies to shut down anyone who offends them, the marketplace of ideas is free from competition.

    Liberals are currently telling us that men are women if they want to be.

    Right except they are not Liberals.

    All in unison. Democrats are not LIBERALS, they are what?

    Shout THEY ARE AUTHORITARIANS. They father far too many laws to be called liberals.

    Cool.
    Maybe they will learn something and start their own tech giant instead of relying on liberals.

    Other than we republicans, there are no liberals posting here.

    When Democrats erase 90 percent of their laws put out as law since 1933, only then can they claim to be liberals.

    Already reported Gab, Infowars, and other conservative leaning sites like Bitchute for the censoring of non-conservative viewpoints :p

    Yes our freedom of speech means the government shall not take action against a person or entity who expresses their opinions. Of course this apparently doesn't apply to things like government funded airports that ban Chick-Fil-A or government funded universities that ban conservative groups/speakers. But surely it most critically applies to public service operators masquerading as news organizations that hold massive influence over nearly the entire population and who regularly and intentionally suppress information critical of their platform and censor opinions their operators don't agree with.

    Two tier justice.

    Gab got :

    - Deplatformed by their former host GoDaddy
    - Kicked out by many bitcoin companies
    - Threatened to be deplatformed by their new host Microsoft Azure
    - Deplatformed by Google

    So no, making your own free speech site isn't the solution, it will always get threatened by the "hate speech" trust. To have a website you need a host, or even if you have your own server you need a domain registrar. You'll always be dependent on these companies.

    There is no free market. The entire market agrees with each other on imposing the exact same "hate speech" rules, and cooperates to stifle the competition that doesn't. This is a trust, which is illegal.

    I love the faux libertarian progressive crowd that says "censorship is freedom". Goes right there with the others :

    Gab and Bitchute do not censor anything.

    Of course -- Gab.com and Infowars.

    But I hope most Conservatives will support President Trump. Declining presidential help is self--defeating.

    They want to take away our Freedom of Speech.

    I hope almost all Conservatives and many Independents side with the President on this issue.

    It's impossible to hear or read any conservatives any more but that's what happens when lefty authoritarians are in charge.

    Definitely Conservatives have many faults. But modern Left is much more Totalitarian then Stalin ever was.

    So which is it, should business be free to pick their customers or not?

    Conservatives can’t seem to make up their minds...

    It depends on how well the President's efforts go. No answer yet for anyone.

    If the President succeeds in enforcing fair rules for Social Media Giants, then these giants would be the greatest winners. Liberals and SJWs would not be able to pressure these platforms.

    So yes, you want business that do not want to be associated with your views to have to host those views.

    But baking a cake, that’s too far

    This is what I can't understand. Wouldn't y'all be able to make millions?

    Of course when you can't get any advertisers because your only customers are Nazis and NAMBLA maybe you'll realize what's going on.

    I am not Conservative and had nothing to do with that cake.

    I hope President Trump succeeds in using anti- monopoly law against Social Media Giants. But only time will tell.

    Internet Service Providers shouuld be considered utilties, and they should be required to provide their services without bias.

    Now, some of the "conservative" groups being "discriminated" against are militant alt-right groups, who openly call for violence. An ISP provider should be allowed to refuse service to groups like these, regardless of political leaning, but they shouldn't be allowed to simply refuse service because of political or social views, even if those views are UnAmerican or offensive.

    But as I said before, groups that call for violence, condone terrorism and other such things should NOT get any protections, and ISP's should be allowed to refuse service.
    So this means the countless far right groups who praise things like abortion clinic bombings should have no protections.

    Sadly, groups have been deplatformed for speech very far from Hate Speech. They have been deplatformed for instance for supporting Presumption of Innocence.
