For years, I heard it's invalid to object to political censorship by FB & Twitter because, if you don't like it, you can just create a competing social media platform.

Parler tried. And in 24 hours, Google, Apple & Amazon united to destroy it.
That's what monopoly power means.
And giving everyone on both sides reason to at least give pause to think about what they’re up to:
The new corporate authoritarian liberal-left monoculture is going to be absolutely ruthless -- and in 12 days it is merging with the state. This only the beginning

Which left people everywhere scratching their heads and musing: “Let me see, what do you call it again? You know when corporate and state authoritarianism merge in order to form a more perfect union? Wasn’t there an Italian guy that had a name for it:
Oh, right – fascism! Wait, what?!!? I thought ‘Orange Man bad’…WTF?
And every. single. Democrat. is OK with this because…they’re “private companies.”
Except of course in Democrat/Social Justice World the Christian bakery would have to bake the cake if they had their way, which they seem determined to do. Not to mention that you’ll never find “bakeries” listed under monopolistic business with significant barriers to entry.
First they came for your Twitter and Facebook accounts and they said: “It’s not censorship, you can create your own app.”
Then they came for your Google and Apple apps and they said: “It’s not censorship, create your own website.”
And then they came for your Amazon web hosting: “It’s not censorship, create your own...”
Create your own what? Internet? Country?
And remember kids: it’s not censorship…when the Democrats do it.
