1) The major opposition players (nationalists) are launching same services in response to mainstream(universalists)

2) So what FB/T/G/MS will do by this is actually make a MARKET FOR NATIONALIST PLATFORMS.

3) China and Russia started opposition tech for national reasons, but the writing is on the wall – it’s spreading.

4) There is NOTHING in Twitter, FB, Google, MS tech that is not cheaply replicable, and only defended by US IP laws.

5) So the more the ‘new church’ of commercial universalism tries to clamp down, the more the opposition is funded.

6) There is nothing irrational about groupishness, tribalism or nationalism. Its universalism that’s the outlier.

7) The smarter answer is to isolate groups not fund opposition groups by censorship.
