I'd also love to see someone organize a boycott or some kind of "pressure campaign" against all the corporations that advertise on Facebook. After all, this is de facto support of censorship, which should be repellant to Americans and American companies.

These same companies themselves boycott internet sites that do tell the truth or challenge the authorize narratives. Look at the advertisers at Zero Hedge or Citizens Free Press, which have huge audiences. Also, look at who does advertise on Tucker Carlson's show. About all I see is the My Pillow Man. What you don't see is Coca Cola, Chevrolet or any insurance or banking companies. Tucker has the No.1-rated prime-time news/commentary show in North America. His audience is mainstream, every-day Joes and Janes who buy products. But the corporations won't place any commercials. These are all tells about the groupthink of "club" members.

I'd also like to highlight the contrast between the approach of Twitter and Facebook to the approach/thinking of the founders of Substack. The latter did everything in their power to squash speech, debate and dissent. Substack did the exact opposite. I'd note that Substack's popularity is growing exponentially. This platform IS helping to change or challenge some false narratives. This is what our Founders had in mind when they created the First Amendment, which was supposed to provide the most important check on those with unlimited power.

Now what we need is for many more Americans to discover Substack.
