I must have missed the law or regulation preventing you from starting your own social media site that also provides support for the political viewpoints you agree with. There should be quite the market out there. BTW this is also why you should support net neutrality because it would prevent the last mile carriers from discriminating against your business.

Get busy, you can do it.

Gets difficult when the owners of the internet infrastructure doesn't like the data living on it. Wasn't Microsoft's platform but exerted pressure because they own the underlying equipment. Just run a few thousand miles of fiber and build a few multi-billion dollar datacenters and freedom will be restored. Right? Those private companies with a monopoly on control of data are on a slippery slope of censorship under the guise of private businesses. Microsoft's statement from the article: "After an initial review, we have concluded that this content incites violence, is not protected by the First Amendment, and violates Microsoft Azure's acceptable use policy."

Oh, please. The content was odious in the extreme. From your link-

"Microsoft received a complaint about specific posts on Gab.ai that advocate 'ritual death by torture' and the 'complete eradication' of all Jews. After an initial review, we have concluded that this content incites violence, is not protected by the First Amendment, and violates Microsoft Azure's acceptable use policy," Microsoft said in a statement provided to The Hill.

Well hell! We've left him no choice but to ask his girl Poot to help make America Great or is it to save us all from Hillary... Wait, isn't that the expected excuse for when he finally confesses he knew everything the whole time? No worries he'll never run out of lies. And that's truly what'll MAGA!

I don't expect to see any civility here, that specific user has a habit of stalking me and insult me while derailing the threads. He's upset since I called him out for his support of pedophilia.

FFS how can you expect civility when you bring no honesty to the table? Seriously..

One would like to hope that even altright free speech warriors would be able to see plotting terrorist acts and the genocide of millions of people as an abuse of that right, but... no.

OTOH, that Little guy now has an FBI file as a likely domestic terrorist (if he didn't already) and brandonbull has come out here as a supporter of violent antisemitism. So good job to them!

Comments say they posted raw Alex Jones footage that was banned, so now they're banned as well. Guess we'll wait for the full story before getting all crazy.

And the usual "Who, Me?" with cries of victimhood...
