A VIP reason to have popular alternatives to services like those provided by the likes of Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Twitter that are not controlled by monster corporations.

- Razengan 10y agoA very important person reason? Also, I think the actual problem isn't these corporations, it's ultimately the governments of the world. Even if the major social networks allow something highly controversial to remain, sooner or later they may be required by the government to take it down. Even someone as big as Apple will have trouble standing their ground, as was shown recently. The government and the law is what's supposed to protect people's right to information and free speech, yet they are also the ultimate source of censorship.
