    Honestly those platforms need to burn and be destroyed. Nothing of value to be found outside the few people that actually give a fuck making YouTube videos.

      Maybe where you live. Massively popular platforms like these are pretty good at gathering people for rallies/protests and spreading investigations, news and fundraisers.

      Best case scenario is people switch to decentralized media, worst case - the momentum for their rallies is ruined and ppl get arrested for saying the wrong things online. Then (most likely) these platforms get unblocked and everyone forgets about it.

        Yeah, almost like entire countries communication networks shouldn’t be on corporate owned platforms in the first place.
