I like to think that everyone shitty on the Left is just a troll account created and maintained by Barron Trump, attempting to use his mammoth brain to make centrists vote Daddy 2020. Because if these people actually exist, and have these strange opinions that so many people supposedly might have, then I'll have to actually vote for Daddy, given he's the option most likely to put these fucking people in camps.
But I'm wise to you, Barron: you'll never actually make me vote.
Because "apps" are all the rage and why would Google (and Apple) be interested in hosting their competition if they can use the "hate speech" excuse? That's what happened to the Gab app.
Anti-trust laws, firstly. The majority of web traffic comes from devices created by Google and Apple who will ban you if they don't like you. The simple excuse is "we don't want hate speech on our platform" when a Twitter competitor (or whatever) comes along that promises not to ban people for their legally-protected thoughts and ideas.
Domain hosting companies ban people for wrongthink, payment processors ban people for wrongthink, websites ban people for wrongthink, and anyone who wants to go up against that gets banned from even having the opportunity to compete especially in the mobile space which makes up the majority of web traffic.
You can't say "well if you don't like it then create your own platform" when that entails: creating a new smartphone that people want to buy, writing your own operating system to compete with iOS/Android, setting up your own internet/telecom (which requires massive data centers and worldwide backhaul), inventing your own Twitter/Facebook/YouTube, etc., and inventing your own banks and payment processors. You're talking about going up against the government and companies worth trillions of dollars, and likely looking at spending that much money to get started in the first place. Don't you think those companies would want to shut you down even if you somehow had the knowledge and money to go up against them?
While this is true, it's not like you're going to get many people to switch over to some weird new app store. Just look at the level of vitriol Epic received when they announced that they were releasing their own app store for Fortnite.
Yep, and once you do that, you get places like c-net fearmongering about how scary and dangerous sideloading is.
Let me make it clear: Unknown Sources can be dangerous. Sure, it's one of the reasons why Google can call Android an open platform, because you can use it to install all kinds of apps that weren't approved (or security checked) by Google.
But once you toggle Unknown Sources, your phone is vulnerable to all sorts of malware. That's why CNET doesn't link to leaked APKs of hot new Android apps as a general rule -- all it takes is one quick swap or URL redirect, and the hot new game you think you were downloading might actually install a piece of spyware on your phone. Or a copy of the game that actually works -- but spies on you in the background.
Well for one thing youtube operates at a giant loss and is kept alive by googles massive resource pool and secondly the instant any โalternativeโ is created to a social media platform itโs bullrushed by racists and the worst of the worst fringe elements

They love government power when it's directed against those they don't like (e.g. liberals, women who want abortions, Muslims, refugees and environmentalists).

Why are they incapable of setting up new platforms again?
Just don't brand it as a specifically "conservative" version. EZ money.

Why should they, do they even need an excuse to decline to host their competition?

Android doesn't require to use their app store.
I guess you can argue that they have an unfair advantage because it is pre-installed, but you can make your app distrubtion app.
That creates a catch 22, but there's no way they would ban it, because it would probably go to court.

It's easy to switch, it's not like an ISP monopoly or something, it's just a little work and if people like it enough they'll do it ala Fortnite

Did you ever read The Little Red Hen?
1 AnnoysTheGoys 2018-12-17
On Android you can just install an apk from anywhere. Apple does do that walled garden bullshit last I checked, but websites always work.
