Here's what happened when they tried to create their own versions. After all, if you don't want to bake the gay wedding cake, why should you visit the Facebook, the Twitter, buy an Apple, use a Google or other of 1,000's of innovation products and services created by Socialists?

Conservatives are delicate snowflakes who need to construct their own alternative timeline because they are so easily offended by reality.

I’m confused. The 7th richest guy in world is a socialist?

Are they intellectually incapable of innovation? All those other sites were almost totally from scratch. So far all I have seen from the right wing is billionaires spreading money around to Tucker and Steve to make stupid web sites where the comments sections look like StormFront.

Are these the same people who claim they are the "makers"?

Because, unfortunately, the tech sector which makes most of them is dominated by the Left. It's a factor that angers me and I wish we could find a way to overcome it.

facebook, twitter, and google are comparable to utility companies. they have no viable competitors and are now deploying effective new measures & standards to limit free speech deemed unacceptable, by fellow citizens with different views, to their management.

Create a conservative platform. Create conservative entertainment. Create conservative social networks. There's nothing stopping that but education and the will to do it. Freedom works both ways so why should liberals be forced to host right wing content?

There are alternatives to all of the above. I happen to use a few of their competitors. Not because I fear censorship or "indoctrination" - but because I have always believed in diversifying the platforms that I am on (e.g. PC, Apple, Linux, Android, etc.).
