#1 Social Media Giants losing revenue and facing all types of legal issues. Now offer an Olive branch.

Maybe they want to reconnect Trump, so they stage a major media event by BANNING him again.

#5 Kind of like allowing to finally discuss masks and lockdowns publicly. Now that the damage is done they can pretend everything is normal.

#8 Click away from Facebook. You don't need it. Nobody does. They'd be lucky if Trump went back to it but Trump would be smart to stay away from it.

What is a Facebook page anyway? It's a web page, kinda like Rantburg. The difference is that Fred has total control of Rantburg while people who have Facebook pages have only limited control. Facebook is owned and operated by Mark Zuckerberg so it's really his web page, not yours.

If you really need a presence on the internet, which most of us don't, get an account with a reputable internet service provider and develop your own web page. Learn to code...HTML that is. It's really not that hard.

#9 ^ Or, we could reopen the Great Meme War of 2016. Again (insert cartoon frog pic here).

#10 I think #1 NN2N1 nails it. Big Tech has found out, with this antitrust lawsuit against Google, that they can't appease the Democrats and are reaching out for new allies.

No.
