So... They Banned You...

A lot of people are whining about being de-platformed on social media giants like YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and so on. I was cancelled on Reddit myself but at the end of the day, these are private businesses, not publicly funded entities. Rather than lodge complaints with the businesses which have banned me, I simply ceased giving them my business and gave it to other companies instead. It's a simple solution and if more people applied it, these giants would go out of business.

You don't think these companies receive public funds?

@MarineBob YouTube isn't a state owned entity, it's a private corporation.
@MarineBob I have no doubt that various branches of the federal gov't contract with Amazon Web Services to host databases, applications, etc. They probably do some similar business with Microsoft & Google. But I can't see how the gov't would have business with FaceBook or Twitter or Reddit.

@ElwoodBlues I can think of why a corrupt government might stick its claws into things like Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, etc.
