No they won't because the investment barrier to compete is outrageously high. Nobody can even set up an alternative patreon yet without a massive investment.
The problem is there really cannot be equal access because realistically nobody can knock google, youtube or facebook out, especially since the three (really two since Youtube is Google) talk to one another and are pushing in the same direction. More over they do so with the approval of the Government who will never break those trusts up. So...... what does it matter?

From a practical perspective if Censorship is assured either way,
You are either censored by blue haired harpies or bottomless amoral greed. Idk, I cannot really see a difference from a practical day to day perspective.
On MMO-C we learn that Anti-Fascism is locking arms with corporations, the State Department and agreeing with the CIA, But opposing the CIA and corporate America, and thinking Jews have a right to buy land and can expect tenants to pay rent THAT is ultra-Fash Nazism. Bellingcat is an MI6/CIA cut out. Clyburn Truther.

Oh look, the supposed anti-globalist taking a pro-corporate stance simply to spite the Democrats. Shocker.

Get the government out of the game, and you will have more competitors.
Simple solution, use Bing, DailyMotion and Instagram.
Other solution, stop using x-Chan, Reddit, Tumblr or whatever platform has convinced you Google is run by blue-haired harpies.
If Obama wouldn't do it, Hillary wouldn't have done it. Trump won't do it, nobody will do it.
What I am talking about is a question of "What am I getting out of this?"
If one is told "Well if you support Net Neutrality, then these giant silicon valley titans will be free to curate the Internet to their political agenda" vs. "Support the ISP's and they will be free to curate the internet to their endless apatite for money or their political agenda".
I REALLY don't see a practical difference between those two forms of internet.
If lets say there exists a platform that you are informed in no uncertain terms, your not welcome to say things on, why then would you support saving that platform from a greater threat to it? Either way the situation from your perspective is the same.

Put aside your fascination with protecting Nazi's and the KKK, because well fuck them with a rusty pipe. You do understand that without Net Neutrality the internet will get far more expensive and even slower in the states. The U.S. already has one of, if not the, the slowest and most expensive internet services in the modern world. The reason why is the ISP companies hold monopolies in almost all the U.S. and won't allow anyone to put in faster more affordable internet. So yes if you want your internet bills to skyrocket and your internet speed to plummet. Then please fuck everyone over because Nazi's lost one of their main internet pages.
You don't seem to understand what net neutrality is about at all. What Google does on its own platform or how it employs people has absolutely nothing to do with net neutrality.
Google isn't censoring you or stopping you from speaking your mind. You're completely free to create a platform on which you can express yourself if you so wish. Your rights are not infringed upon just because Google polices its own platform the way it does.
That's a terrible victim complex you've got. I'm not sure how anyone can hope to argue with that when you've just painted anyone that disagrees with you as your oppressor
Yup, and let us unpack that first bit. Why should anyone outside of the Social Justice, Antifa, ect support net neutrality? I mean, pretty much any opinion outside of theirs is considered Nazism and in need of insta-censoring, so.... from the perspective of someone outside that band of thought, yeah I see no reason to care.
I mean if your cause is so dependent on building a broad based coalition, why then start going after anyone on your platforms who isn't a committed lefty?

I guess Theo just thinks anyone who disagrees with them is an autist.
I understand well what it means. I am not saying one is the other.
I am saying that if the central hub of the internet for all practical purposes is going to act as it does, what is the difference for me as a consumer with opinions that are not "#WithHer".
Sure, maybe someone can rally 20 billion or so dollars to challenge Google, but probably not since nobody will bust that trust.
So from my perspective as a user, there difference between ISP ruled internet, and Silicon Valley Tech giant ruled internet is nothing.

I think the problem is you've invented two situations that have little bearing on reality and whilst it's absolutely fascinating the lack of coherence makes it difficult for people outside of your head to form an argument either for or against it. You might as well ask why should we stop the moon howling when it will only start dripping blood on the hills.
Not important, if that is the direction of the internet, then there isn't much of a material difference. The precedent is cast and its already more than "Those bad guys on the Stormer".
So what is the difference if your not a registered Democrat wanting to state your opinions and give voice to your words?
