Ahh, what's there to prevent you from setting up some other new site. Facebook overtook Myspace. Google overtook Yahoo. What is there to prevent you from developing the next site that overtakes Facebook, Google, and such? Just show some personal responsibility and stop whining about monopolies choking stuff off. It takes a lot less money to get your own server, build a site (start from the bottom, then work your way up), and such than it does to start a retailer, after all. In short, the startup costs for a site are much less than the start up costs for a "brick and mortar" store.
A few of us even tried to argue that regulations should be set up to guarantee that all websites would be accessible for all Internet users - we called it Net Neutrality. The right-wingers lost their stuff over this "government takeover". MAN, have they changed their tune.

No kidding.
As I said, either rampant hypocrites or just plain dumb.
"Last week, Adam Ford, the popular Christian comic artist who founded satire site The Babylon Bee, posted on Instagram a comic comparing the moral outrage of abortion to the moral outrage of slavery. On Wednesday, he noticed that Instagram had pulled the post for "hate speech." Ford called the ban's timing suspect, given the rising tide of outrage against abortion in recent months."
Hate speech=any speech I don't agree with.
The comic is not hate speech.
Instagram in my opinion has pulled the post because it does not want its' site to be the podium for discussion.

Yeah, that's insane. Then again, "Hate speech" is a totally bogus concept, and it just means "hated speech" (i.e., speech that the Left hates), so it's not really a surprise.
From another perspective, it's amazing that Instagram wants to tell tens of million people who oppose abortion to go f--- themselves. That can't be good for business.
