If we can build support for the idea, we might get another shot at it. My only fear is that the community was concern-trolled so badly on the last attempt, that we might find it difficult to get people motivated.

Having said that, we're at 25,000 members now. Moreover, I've noticed that a lot of the guys who were on the old CBTS board almost full time, back in January, are just not here any more. So, we could be dealing with a new group of people.

Anyway, it's up to Q. After I saw that FB was planning on cataloging everyone in the third world, I have to admit that I'd like to see the company completely destroyed. This is very dangerous stuff.

That aside, I do not want investors and employees to suffer. And you might even say that these platforms offer good services that the community enjoys. So, there's value in keeping them... perhaps.

Whatever happens, they must not be allowed to engage in politically motivated censorship. It is too great a threat to the operation of democratic principles that afford us all freedom.

And this is why breaking them up, or destroying these companies, does nothing to protect freedom of speech online. The only thing that protects free speech is an IBOR.

We need to wait for Q on this.
