It's Time for Facebook to Go the Way of MySpace

I am fed up with patriots, Christians, conservatives, Republicans, and anyone who believes in liberty and freedom of speech getting shut down by Facebook.



They are out of compliance with their brand and their self-promotion.

No, they do not want freedom of speech or a free exchange of ideas.

What they want is for everyone to think the way they think. Like the railroad monopolists of the 1800s, they think that they can corner the market and forced everyone to use their social media platform.

Yet free enterprise finds its way through the attempts to limit, coerce, and silence people. I am using other social media platforms already. At this point, I think it's time for us conservatives to boycott the medium in its entirety. Even liberals and progressives are sounding the alarm on suppression of speech. They recognize the dangers of silencing dissenters through force, because no doubt they will be next.

The mainstream media is crashing and burning right before our eyes. Matt Lauer was just canned, since he was a long-standing pervert who had gotten away with sexual abuse for years. Now that he's gone, the face of morning news and talk shows is gone. How will the morning news market recover? I can foresee a future in which major broadcasting networks throw in the towel, and the niche cable markets take over.



Perhaps we can scrap the FCC altogether, and not just net neutrality, since there will be more free rein for communication, and the feds are not good at keeping anything in line. Neutrality as defined by the state will never be neutral, anyway, but preference the interests of those in power rather than the rights off all citizens in the United States.

Facebook, Google, and the other left-wing corporate media elites running some of the major social media spheres are in for a reckoning. Like consumers throwing away their Kellogg's products--and in a less sense like the black freedom riders who boycott the Montgomery, Alabama bus line, it's time for all of us to take our business somewhere else.

I predict that government regulation against these major social media industries will set in very soon, and the profit margins which these companies barely thrive on will cut away even faster. New technology advocates will devise better ways for all of us to communicate and spread information. The suppression of speech never bodes well for the aggressors who perpetrate such hatred.
