The Ministry of Truth is a consortium of colluding “private” corporations. Freedom of speech is dead in America. This is not about Trump or protests. This is about shutting down all speech that is not approved by the leftist establishment.

There is one and only one thing that will make a difference. It’s the bottom line. Boycott and divest. Stop buying on Amazon. Don't use Google. Don't use Facebook. Don't use Twitter. Get rid of your Gmail account. Sell all of your shares of Apple, Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Twitter. Sell ETFs and mutual funds that hold these companies.

Twitter's ban on Trump could wipe out as much as 10% in profits: analyst

It’s probably back to the drawing board on profit estimates for Wall Street analysts who cover Twitter (TWTR) in light of the social media giant’s new permanent ban on President Trump’s account.

“The risk is that perhaps Trump starts his own social networking platform or moves his content to a different platform, and now they [Twitter] have some sort of competitive pressure to the extent that user engagement for their platform goes down by some percentage point,” explained D.A. Davidson tech analyst Tom Forte on Yahoo Finance Live. “You could argue that is 10% earnings risk for Twitter on the notion that they may have a negative impact on their audience share and then that could have a negative impact on their ability to draw advertising against their audience share.”

10% is an extremely low estimate. If Twitter loses half of it's customers, the loss will be greater.

Tech Under Pressure After Parler Goes Dark, Twitter Drops

(Bloomberg) -- Technology companies tried to contain a mounting backlash against their social media sites, with shares of Twitter Inc. and Facebook Inc. falling in early trading and rival platform Parler forced offline by Amazon.com Inc.

Drop 'em all.

You might find Twitter or FB entertaining, but you can easily live without them. It's more important that they feel the dissatisfaction of their customers. The left would have no problem doing this.

I do make purchases through Amazon and I do check FB from time to time. But that stops now. Until they back off, I'll find other methods. Please consider this strongly! Even if you can't give it up 100% and cancel your accounts, you can still limit their usage.

Jim Cramer weighs in on Twitter. Bottom line is that without Trump, they have lost their reason for existence at the scale that they enjoyed.

Facebook and Twitters stocks are going down. Time to hit them where it hurts.

This is the only way to make it stop. About 30% of voters are registered republicans. If they all one day stopped using these companies the companies would either have to change or fail.

Things like parler aren't going to work unless they are hosted outside the US. Probably a good idea to at least censor the death treats too.

Facebook sees $34 billion erased from market cap as Trump-ban fallout continues to spook tech investors

Not sure this will be enough to overcome the political pressure. But this needs to be sustained.

These cuts need to be deeper and they need to last a long time. Permanent destruction of these companies would be preferable. Their replacements would learn a valuable lesson.

Just wait until Amazon sees it's sales plummet. It's going to happen. The snowball is rolling down the hill already.

This might need its own thread, but Parler is suing Amazon, alleging antitrust violations after the e-commerce giant banned the far-right social media app from AWS

https://www.businessinsider.com/parler-sues-amazon-claiming-it-violated-antitrust-laws-2021-1

(Also curious how they refer to Parler as a "far-right social media app". I mean, it's an app. Many people on the right, far or otherwise, use it. But the app itself isn't ideological)

Stocks swing. We have a communications issue. Difficult to tell everyone that it's time to boycott when they are getting their information from a handful of companies. Companies that are vested w/ FANG.

This is very cryptic, please elaborate.

Hi, I like this idea. Just curious tho, why the hashtags? I think what needs to happen is finding a way to distribute content that does not rely on ad revenue.

The hashtags have nothing to do with revenue. A hashtag has simply become an internet norm for various topics and campaigns.

My interpretation is that it's hard to organize a boycott when the people you want to boycott control the internet.

I use Fedbook as a political platform. I rail against them. I post peer reviewed research against masks and so-called "lockdowns." I befriend everyone, even if I don't know them. I'm not there to be friendly, but just post stuff against them.

I have a bunch of followers that I don't even know. Not sure it makes much difference; however, you still have to reach people individually. I'm just a scurvy little spider in the whole vast configuration of things.

I didn't mean to conflate hashtags with ad revenue. It was a separate thought. I recognize hashtags as a norm that was brought on by twitter. It did seem odd to me to see a cancel twitter remark utilizing hashtags. No biggie, I was just confused by it.

Centralized content distribution has been on my mind for a while now for this exact reason. It's driven by advertising. We need a content distribution model that doesn't rely on ad revenue to keep the machine running.

Odd. Ironic. Almost humorous. I wonder if it was intentional?

Unfortunately, the ad revenue model has proven itself to be durable and successful in the free market. Paid subscription is much less successful, and when a subscription is tolerated by the market, it is usually in addition to ad revenue.

And back to the OP topic, threats of boycott on advertisers is also effective. Do you advertise on Facebook or Twitter? You may get boycotted!
