This sequel of 1984 is not looking so good.
How is that related? Plenty other platforms he can join. Beauty of capitalism. I am surprised they didn't boot him off sooner, but him encouraging rioters on jan 6th was last straw i guess.

Capitalism is based on the concept of free market, and when you have a huge oligopoly that can swindle people into voting for one particular candidate by censoring and controlling via algorhythm the flow of information, this to me resembles more a subtle regime. Plus, what platforms can he join? Parler has just been removed by the playstore, as all companies operate in kahoots with Google.
Well under a Feudal System private global company's can do what they won’t and are above all government and answer only to Oligarchs. This is what other companys do Globally it called Slavery https://youtu.be/P2tYoWqHe10

Not really, there is no Monopoly. Plenty of alternatives for both YouTube , Twitter and Facebook. And anyone can be influenced by anything, it has always happened throughout history in different forms. Fair game if someone is too lazy and gullible and does no research themselves. Just tactics.

Do you know Google, Fb, Twitter and YT all operate in cooperation and under the same umbrella of policies, right?
It is also an easily proveable fact that Google controls other companies. You may say that people are free to choose other social networks, like Parler, for instance. Oops, Parler has just been removed from the Playstore, as Playstore is controlled by Google. Parler also removed from Apple store. If you don't see how brazenly controlled the internet is, then I don't even know what to tell you, to be honest.

Except you have free speech fully and you don't have a monopoly . Both of these statements are facts , easily proven
Oh, if you say so, then I think I just got "fact-checked". Except that saying "it's easily proven" doesn't mean you are right willy nilly. See my comment above on how you are dead wrong and also note that, while this censorship may play in your favour now, it's not granted it will play in your favour in the future. As soon as you hold a dissenting view, they'll come after you as well.
People are not angry at this because they are "trump boys". People are worried about our future and our freedom of expression. One today it will dawn on you like it did on anybody else's.

What I meant by free speech is the alternative platforms, and offline of course, where you are not censored. Ironically the removal of article 230 that Trump pushed, and also something that Zuckerberg etc want, would eliminate the protections of the alternative platforms established in the USA, therefore leaving only the big ones with their AI algorithms, to be able to edit their content and stay in business.
