After Coca-Cola’s denunciation, the pendulum swung back the other way, and the company became a target for those on the Right who were upset about Coca-Cola’s stance on the bill.
Former President Donald Trump called on his supporters to boycott the soft drink manufacturer, among other companies, as did Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky. “Don’t go back to their products until they relent. We can play the game better than them,” Trump said in an April 3 statement.
Sen. Pat Toomey, the ranking member of the Banking Committee, told the Washington Examiner on Monday, “Many conservatives will inevitably choose to walk away from these businesses” involved in pushing back against the voting law.
Coca-Cola’s newest statement to the Washington Examiner calling for “common ground” and noting that it is open to “productive conversations with advocacy groups and lawmakers” of differing views might be a sign that it is trying to tamp down the pressure from both sides of the political spectrum.
Delta Air Lines, Georgia’s largest private employer, which has also faced GOP backlash over the voting law, was likewise not a signatory on the two-page ad that ran in the major newspapers on Wednesday. Delta declined to comment when contacted by the Washington Examiner.
Oh, we can't do that. The Left tells us these are private companies and can do as they please. Of course they aren't so quick to support Wall Street private companies, large manufacturers, places like Walmart, etc. Those companies are bad and don't have the right to do what they want. Leftist companies who support "their" agenda are given a free pass. It is similar to Chinese and Russian propaganda.
I agree, time to break them up. Break up any company that gets too large and obtains too much control. Funny how this used to be central to the democrat's platform. Now they are the party of big tech control and censorship.
I don't see how anyone views any of the social media properties as monopolies. There are multiple that are hot right now. And as soon as grandparents find their way on to one platform the younger folks jump to a new one. Competition is fierce, not stifled.
Today... meh. I prefer though, they be broken up or regulated. They are clearly acting as monopolies.
They are acting like Utilities and Monopolies. It would be as if AT&T broke into your phone conversation and censored what you are saying. If you didn't stop, they would just cut you off with no recourse. That is EXACTLY what is happening with Google, Youtube (Google), Twitter, Facebook, Apple, MSN and the rest.
Leftists are fine with the destruction of freedom as long as it is Far Left in action, thought and content.

Most of the left people I know have fled Facebook because it has become overrun with the extreme right spreading conspiracy theories... Younger folks don't even have an account and are on SnapChat/TikTok instead.
I have been a daily Coca-Cola drinker for 40 + years... Many I have to have my Coke!
But, after their huge screw up, trying to virtue signal, I have been buying the HEB store brand of Cola.... Not as good, but will do.

I am not on any of the social media sites but there are many, many examples of Facebook censoring conservative content and banning conservatives. The company is run by and employees mostly Far Leftists.
