I lay the blame at the feet of the mainstream media and tech companies for their extreme bias. Conservative voices have had to find alternate ways to get their message out due to our cancel culture and the way it is applied unfairly against conservatives.
If you think big tech is at all restrictive, you've never been to the REAL internet, where draconian forum admins endlessly ban people for having the wrong profile picture. Google is a benevolent overlord compared to those who ACTUALLY wield mod powers
I am actually ok with some censorship (e.g. clear-cut harassment, not just offending someone but for example death threats) as long as it is implemented very fairly and very transparently. The problem I have with tech censorship is that it is neither of those and tech companies now wield immense power over peoples' ability to communicate.
Modern conservatives have so little ability to stand up for themselves. Back in my day when we would actually get bullied and dropped NYB on 4Chan treads, they'd actually go start our own sites. Not whine endlessly
Trump and his followers are rampant on Facebook. It's an absolute cesspool.
The mainstream media, is Fox. They are mainstream, they are boastfully 'the most watched' Rush Limbaugh has an enormous listening base. Alex Jones up until recently commanded a huge user base. People are getting 'cancelled' for making terrible comments. Sexist, racist, largely inappropriate comments. People, especially minorities (women, gay, race) are sick of it. They're sick of laughing nervously and pretending it didn't happen. I'm a 30-something white dude, I'm sick of it.
CNN has people like Rick Santorum on to spew his filth. I was just watching Meet The Press on MSNBC and they let Jason Miller sit and lie for a few minutes.
Twitter/modern meidums where youth is the primary audience, where they are not getting traction isn't due to censorship. Few among younger generations subscribe to Trump's brand of insults and division. The religion pandering, the science denying. They're not buying it,
The victim mentality here is infuriating. It's no more censorship than OAN not giving air time to climate scientists.
