    What would that entail?

    I wrote a little something about this previously.

    I do think there are real similarities between the Boston Tea Party as an expression of the American people fed up with their rights being encroached upon by unelected elites, and a hypothetical "American Tweet Party" where the masses gather to -- potentially -- throw out Twitter's servers instead of East Indian tea.

    In reality, I'm not so sure it would even have to proceed to that level. I would bet that the administrators of the data centers would gladly surrender Twitter's servers to the protesters if they thought it would protect their other clients and their architecture itself. Twitter itself might buckle if they thought their stock price might crash if they did nothing.

    The point would be to send a message to corporate America that the unaccountable political censorship these private corporations have been exercising, and their ultimate control over the political process in this country, will not be tolerated. Freedom of Opinion must be allowed on any major social media platform, or it will not be allowed to exist at all.

    San Francisco is a Left Wing shithole, if any protesters tried to organise outside their hq they would be swarmed by the worst kind of Left Wing vermin.
