Sure, but that requires a domain, again, centralised by Google and the like. And they have already shut down sites as they didn't agree with their views. I for harbour no sympathies for those retarded nazis, but, same as the retarded commies, they have the right to speak.
In my opinion, decentralisation is good, but so is some moderate regulation, but not on thoughts. And social media, should be like a utility, like a public square. Everybody should be allowed to say whatever, as long as it's not blatant plagiarism or direct calls to violence.
Big corporations are no different than big government, but the latter can be voted out of office. The same cannot be said about businesses so large that they practically control public opinion.
And the way business is controlled is by not using their business. You vote for business is with your attention and dollars.
The likes of Google and Facebook are not almighty gods of eternity. Remember MySpace? It was once the king of social media. Where is it today?
The only reason Google and Facebook have so much power is because we gave it to them, by participating. It can easily be taken away by putting your time and energy elsewhere, as what happened to MySpace.
No empire lasts forever. All one day returns to dust.

I know. That's why I'm here :)
But we're a long way before Google or Facebook goes down. And they're overlords over so much tech industry, that I doubt that even if nobody uses YT anymore, they still would be gigantic. We'll see where this goes. Till then, I'll keep up my crusade against their shitty practices!

Are we? A long way? I remember it took about a year for everybody to jump ship from MySpace to Facebook. MySpace were gigantic. But where is it today? The internet is a graveyard of tech companies.
Just my humble opinion for all it is worth, your time and energy would be better spent promoting platforms such as Steemit and DTube.
But that is what we are discussing here, freedom to choose. ;-)

I am promoting blockchain tech in general. But I need to speak out against authoritarian companies as well, for the normies :)
And MySpace was just social media, while Google has it's paws into that, video, ads, AI, smartphones, domain registration etc. Google is far from easily beaten.

To use another analogy, there was time that it was thought that the Roman Empire was unbeatable.
Time will tell.

Oh, I'm not saying it's undoable, just ... a long way from defeated. Hopefully, it will some day. But I'm fairly certain it won't be so for at least 3 more years.
