    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.

    Have you watched the series "Continuum"? It is basically about what you're describing mixed with Science Fiction/Time Travel. Big Tech takes over America in the future and civilian terrorist groups emerge. A few from this terrorist group gets sent decades back in time together with 1 police agent. They know the future and want to stop it, she (the police officer) knows all about them and wants to stop them.

    Haven't seen it. Worth watching?

    Few series are worth watching, it's better to spend time on other stuff but if you're into Sci-Fi/Time Travel, otherwise probably not. It has a decent rating 7,6 on imdb. I like the concept of the show.
