    they cant - although they could pass regs to regulate ALL Social media
    there are small memberships though compared to Twitter/FB/Instagram -even tic tok

    And really having a "left or right" social media just means more polarization and less interaction
    It's better then strangling oppositional political speech -but it's still not the answer..for now it will have to do

    I dont know If I can actually delete a Twitter account - I never use it anymore because of Twitter mobs
    and far left control. I'd rather just delete though.

    I am going to sign up for Parler today after I work - that;s our best chance to build a free speech alternative
    to the Big Tech sites

Race issues were back burner for the longest time until Obama came along. Then, for whatever reasons, race became an obsession with the left.

    That caused a reaction from the right as white people were being portrayed as whiting or unwitting oppressors. Predictably, many of them got tired of hearing about it. Anyone who wants to know why so many white Obama voters went for Trump need look no farther.

    White Christian males in particular, became the cultural boogie man since they ‘oppressed’ every group from women, gays on down the line.

    The left has poisoned the well.
    ya. Obama was the racialist that gave it respectability to bash white males -before that is was just PC nutcases
    the left wing lemmings all followed

    They can and they have already, they had contingency plans in hand for just such a situation. Although hosted on AWS they took great pains to use a bare metal architecture and not rely on Amazon APIs.

    Crucially, unlike Twitter and other mainstream social media platforms, Gab only removes hateful content if it promotes violence. Users are otherwise free to express racism, sexism, homophobia and other forms of bigotry.

    Socialism would tell private companies how to run their businesses.

    Biden has nothing to do with Twitter.
