With 51 votes (and counting), Senate Republicans have passed their measure to effectively legalize debanking, after pretending to care about the issue to gin up their base.

It's up to a handful of House members now to stop it. https://t.co/tLppQqbOzy pic.twitter.com/Rl7UhEqdXJ

The purpose of a system is what it does. They want debanking. There is no counter to debanking coming.

free market is when all private corporations in a sector collude to deny specific people access to a service they've monopolized with the help of govermend,
and at the behest of goverment, for purely political reasons

Monopolies and the resulting corruption are indeed the inevitable result of letting wealth concentrate into fewer and fewer hands, which is what "free" markets always do in the long run.
Which is just another way of repeating that Deng was right.

The debanking stuff was a lot of pressure from the government using extra-judicial means.

Yeah, like we found from the twitter files, all the social media sites got a stern talking to and a totally not threatening messages to censor content or else
But it totally wasn't forced because they worded their emails nicely so they can't be sued
I hate this. It effectively chilled any conservative voices over most of the internet for 10 years at least and it was supposedely totally legal from a country where the constitition protects that speech. So they got to censor, and they got away with it, and they will do it again when it power
