Back to big tech - the barriers to entry are very low. If anyone wants a "right wing bullshitter central website", then go ahead and make one! No one is stopping you!
The problem - as Eva Dent - is normal people will avoid it, thus no one gets to "own the libs" posting stupid memes, they just hang around bullshitting each other.

Why do "right wingers" hate the free market so much and despise private property? Do they all secretly spank it looking at Karl Marx posters?

They demand the right to promulgate lies that kill.
That is just one reason among many why I refer to them as the Riech

The other problem is that close enough to zero quality IT people are willing to develop the technology / platform for clients who believe the way forward is to bullshit the public. Hence the woeful architecture and security of platforms such as parler / gab etc.

Look at you, with your big-brain libby-rull facts and numbers n' shit. You completely miss the point.None of what you wrote is true or it is weaseled to death. Why do you think anyone falls for this dumb shit?
As of November 9 children under 9 years old had died of Covid in Sweden, and in reality land 9 <> 0.
What you FORGOT to mention - wonder why? - is most polio cases do not develop into paralytic polio, only about 0.5 percent do. The death rate from paralyic polio varies between about 5 and 30 percent depending on age, but that is 5-30% of 0.5%.
Do you think we don't know by now this endless flood of bullshit is bullshit
Sluggo and his fellow RWNJs don't know any Swedish children who died, therefor none died. They know Covid is a libby-rull hoax and they know Sweden is the answer. They apparently believe that the polio vaccine is 100% effective.
And what they BEEEE-Lieve is the equivalent of "that's a fact Jack" in RWNJ La-La Land.

Right, and why are FAUX, Newsmax and OAN not considered to be "Big Tech"?
If you wanna regulate FB & Twitter, why can't we regulate the lying liars of Riech-Wing media ??

I dont think we can regulate/adjudicate the truth.. However what could be done is to regulate ownership of claims i.e. no more anonymous posting.
Want to have something published into public domain? Then you have to sign up to the platform with proof of id. Then whenever you post your ID is posted as well.
Pretty much the same as the old days of sending snail mail to the readers' letters column in a newspaper.
So if someone really wants to post BS, then at least the community can see who is a bullshitter.
The only downside is people have become used to having a non identifying profile on FB / Instagram , and post so much happy happy horsehit about where they are right now, so potential thieves can work out who's home and who is not. But really not that much a deal - because they already put up so much identifying info anyway.
I REALLY like the proposed Australian law. FB et al do know who the person is behind the anonymity anyway. But I would extend it to no more anonymity.
"In the latest of several attempts to hold global internet companies to greater account for content on their platforms, Australia plans to make them share the identities of people with anonymous accounts if another person accuses them of defamation.
If the social media company fails to give that information, it must assume legal liability. The proposed law would also make social media operators legally responsible for defamatory comments beneath publishers' posts on their platforms.
Asked on TV station Nine News if he was worried Facebook might quit Australia over the new law, Morrison said doing that "would be an admission that they have no interest in making the online world safe".
It was not free speech "to hide in your basement as a masked troll and abuse and harass and stalk people," Morrison said.
"If you want to say something, then you should say who you are, and if the social media company lets you do that with a mask on, then we'll hold them to account.""

I have been suggesting this for more than a decade and brought it up here on PA numerous times. These assholes / chickenshits would scurry away and start making pamphlets for the Nazi clubs again.

The problem with this became apparent in the 1950's in Alabama, when the Supreme Court observed that revealing your NAACP affiliation could be extremely hazardous to your health.
The ACLU continues to see the problems and the value of anonymous expression. And expre$$ion.
Lots of people here post anonymously and the site supports that, as do my sockpuppet Publius and I.

Anyone can look to the top of my screen name list and see that I posted as Tom Ray for 8 years.
Well, almost anyone. For poli-sci profs, it's just sooooo hard because they're sooooo stupid.
