Big Blitz Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) Just think this needs it's own thread. To me, most significant thing that's happened post November 2016. How these people are actively working to suppress conservatives, Trump supporters, and the truth. Not someone's 'my truth.' Truth. Their trends are rigged and fake. And estimates of an entity like Google being able to change as many as 20 million votes.....yep, this is what's happening. The liberal media as we know it circa 1964--2004 is no longer relevant. We all know this. What's happening with these social media platforms.....has to be exposed the same way conservatives exposed the MSM during the height of conservative radio.

dubs Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) I agree. However, I also feel that these are private companies and they can essentially do what they want. I would not want the government to get involved. what’s surprising is that alternatives to big valley have not become more prominent. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, whatever are not complicated platforms. Edited November 28, 2019 by dubs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that can be at least partially attributed to the soft monopoly of critical mass. It's not all that different from Cisco dominating networking in the 90s 00s for example or Microsoft back in the day. Would anti-trust laws apply when they are squeezing out competitors, but customers and ideas? I don't know. I do know two things: It is unhealthy for society and the human condition. If these arrogant morons get their way, millions upon millions will be made subservient and destitute. The purveyors of this doom will not look inward but will blame others and exterminate them. It's horrible to envision but a big yawn re-run of a previous theme in human history. Why is the combination of humility, perspective, understanding of history, and objectivity so hard to achieve? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The research on what social media has done to kids is horrifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blitz Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 I am 100 percent convinced Facebook and Google and probably Twitter as well hold well over 80 percent of market share. I'm also willing to bet that small start ups we never heard of immediately get bought out by them. We all knew FB acquired Instagram. How many far lesser known competitors have been bought out? https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/apple-facebook-and-google-have-lost-the-monopoly-argument/2019/06/05/2248ae34-8763-11e9-9d73-e2ba6bbf1b9b_story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may be private companies but they hold a monopoly of buying, selling, and trading my personal information And they are implicitly sanctioned state monopolies. when a competitor pops up they use their massive financial resources to buy them out. Potential competitors that do not sell out are squashed by limiting g access to market shhare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddy KGB Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Just got “silenced” for a week by the ringer nba Facebook group so I left it Someone from Brazil posted a lengthy post about how the nba shouldn’t honor the military during timeouts and the US military is terrible and whatnot. The cali boys and woke crowd agrees with him and the military people and non cali boys told him to get lost. I recieved a week long ban for not complying with the agenda. Disgusting ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
