In light of recent events it has become clear that the public square is lost. We have no legal recourse due to the 'swamp' and now those who have violated anything resembling the good faith clause in section 230 are grandstanding and showing they can silence anyone at a whim. We have lost our first admendment, plain and simple. Welcome to the roller coaster dip of the decline boys.

Ultimately, is it possible we give social media most of its power? Maybe it’s time to let it all go. Delete those accounts, and stop visiting the site. They’ll still exist, but they’ll be about as relevant as Kotaku is now.
In a wider sense, all I can say is consider getting involved locally. That’s the only positive thing I can think of right now. If the majority of pissed off Trump voters start getting involved in local politics, and showing up for State elections, it still has the potential for huge change. Getting election reform in just a few States could make a massive difference, and give a roadmap for other States to follow.
It’s a better option than sitting around and waiting for other people to drive change, which I have been guilty of for far too long.
