Big Tech targets and bans conservatives
Big Tech bans regular conservatives. Basically, they take a tiny set of alt-right trolls then say the alt-lite has a superficial similarity to the troll. Alt –lite is a new wave of anti-immigration, antiwar, market skeptical right-wingers.
The new right, libertarians, and even nonconformist center leftists like posting the same memes. They like following the same accounts, and therefore are all abusive. This exacerbates the left’s propensity to block and report users.

Removing or limiting Section 230 protections from Big Tech may mitigate the immediate trend. They act like publishers. Big Tech frequently argues in court they are publishers. If that is their argument: Why are they exempt from lawsuits? Other publishers aren’t. It is not intervening in the free market to allow them to be accountable.
Section 230 doesn’t get it done
Even if you don’t want to remove Section 230 protections from most of Big Tech. It is difficult to grok why not, but accepting the position, for the sake of argument. It’s unfair that you can’t sue the most powerful publisher in the world. Do you know who that is? It’s Wikipedia. Why is it can’t you sue them for defamation? You can sue The Washington Post? Riddle me that Batman.
Technology will eventually trace down things you wrote anonymously years ago. They are setting their AI loose to compare writing samples. It is good advice to delete even old anonymous posts.

Their tech and reach make it very dangerous.
Do you want a future where elections are decided by a Google search algorithm?

Don’t be fooled by Big Tech’s claims. They are not merely censoring really offensive speech. The evidence is overwhelming.

We are going to find out if the battle is over on November 3, 2020. Big Tech cuts off the money supply.
