Not the same issue.

The reality given to us is corporations permit hate speech (Facebook, Cloudfront, FOX News Channel). The response is to deny them advert money.

No one has done that with Facebook. As for FOX and Cloudfront, that has worked.

Warfare may be a racket, but it is not a business that will immediately suffer if half their customers leave.

Facebook survives because no one cares, it’s too convenient. Heaven forfend I pick up a telephone or write a letter to inform my family about what’s going on.

When enough people realise they don’t need Facebook or Twitter to survive and choose to use other means of communication, they will comport themselves properly or die in the market. That is how capitalism works, and that is why FOX is upside down in the ratings and advert dollars.

Yes, it’s the same issue. You won’t ever convince enough people to leave. But you may convince enough people to work from within (as in complain).

On the other hand, you can be a purist and stay away, if that’s your choice.
