That's why putting everyone under house arrest is so effective.

The left owns the online media, and they ban all non-left thought.

Meanwhile, if you try to speak in person, the cops come and beat you up.

We have a free market. Anyone can build a video platform. PayPal existed before Stripe.
You're welcome to build your own video platform.

Of course, if Google doesn't approve your content, nobody can find it, and if Cloudflare doesn't approve of your content, it isn't actually online.

And, with everybody locked up, you can't go advertise it in the physical world.

So, basically, unless Google and Cloudflare like your content -- or the major media bullies them into liking your content -- your content does not exist.

Same goes for news you see over TV, it does not have to be true. Its their platform. How can you make an informed decision is all you’re being told is manufactured truth?
You read and watch the media that gives you the data you need. Ignore the others once you can verify the information. Wash, rinse and repeat. It’s supposed to be a free market. There’s no guarantee that government mandates will make the data any better
