  1. I wonder if the attacks on conservative American media isn’t just pissing people off. Republican Congressmen running for re-election are being shadow banned. I suspect we are about to see Sherman anti-trust laws put to use as never before. The internet giants will be penalized billions and broken up.

    1. No, it’s not just that. Investors are in business to make money. Twitter, FB et.al. are showing up with lower than expected earnings. This looks a lot like the 2000 dot-com crash when investors realized there’s no “there” there. In the end it was a failure of credibility. Same here. Investors are realizing that none of these companies have much in the way of assets except the good faith of the public.

      And now that’s damaged. The question now is does it stop or does it continue downward.

      1. All you really need to do is use these platforms to understand the revenue side is built on sand.

      2. As a bonus to the drop in their value it would be great if scar’s hopes would materialize.

  2. This is the end of civilization! If all the social media companies collapse, people will be forced to, well, do horrible things such as engaging in decent and logical conversations or, worse, actually think!

  3. I was recently banned. It is an addictive site so I do apprciate all the free time I now have on my hands. May begin working on a cure for cancer.

  4. Never been a Twitter or a Fackebook user. ALL platforms come and go … and ANY platform that dares to “curate” speech … will NEVER survive. Time to untangle these two platforms from every news agency and advertiser in the country.

    1. Yes, I wonder how much of the drop in traffic is due to the anti-right bias; people don’t take that lying down. Note to business owners: You can’t grow your business by insulting half your customers.

      1. doesn’t look like much…..twit lost 3 million users….but they blocked 3 million users
        doesn’t look like anyone quit on their own

        1. How many of those 3 million were ‘bots’ that they blocked? Facke ‘followers’ to create the facke impression that the user is … popular. All these platforms have facilitated a smoke and mirrors environment … and only now … are doing anything about it. Why? Because all these ‘bots’ made Twitter ‘look’ more heavily used than it actually is. It was in their own self interest $$$ to maintain the fackery…

  5. Maybe if they ban , shadow ban and censor more people their stock value will increase?

  6. Facebook’s decline is no doubt because of all the unhinged liberal anti trump posts day in and day out. I only have an account to keep in touch with family and friends, I can read political opinion elsewhere.

    Twitter is probably because of the bot crackdown and shadow banning of conservatives. No point even going there. You can see Trump tweets elsewhere and everything else is just a bunch of liberals and nevertrumping idiots blabbing. It was interesting during the 2008 election to read the Canadian press corp bitch about Harper but the novelty has worn off. I think we all know exactly who we’re dealing with now. (Scheer doesn’t though)

    1. And as we also know about leftards everywhere, they dont care about the economic damage they wreak, or, the cost of their wreckless policies and desires. Budgets just balance themselves, apparently

    1. It astounds me that people are so willing to make predictions that can be so soon be verified, er … invalidated. Kinda like Jimmy Carter predicting that ‘peak oil’ will occur in 1990 … and that the world will be plunged into never ending wars-for-oil thereafter … smh.

  8. Love your work Kate but think you are on the wrong side of this one, 4 percent growth will drive a lot of spending in tech and drive earnings.

    1. …but half of that growth came from businesses investing in their business
      deregulation and a slap down to their competition

    2. I don’t see Kate commenting on the 4 percent growth above. This thread is about the drop in twitter share value, but what you suggest could happen anyway regardless of twitter or Facebook valuations.

  9. And on the other hand other companies are thriving, in the non-pc (politically correct) [pun completely intended]
    area of real science and technology.

  11. Now maybe we can stop seeing those stories about how “the internet claps back”. You know, the stories which simply compile some, maybe 5 or 6, tweets by random people you’ve never heard of to support the headline about some imaginary offense committed by someone. Lordy….. the stupidity of it all.

  12. Two big-shot companies — Facebook and Twitter — saw their stock values plummet by 20% in one day. The Democrat-friendly oligarchs are following the ESPN playbook: take a perfectly good company and tilt far to the left, and watch earnings fall. Who would have thunk?

  13. Don’t worry, Justin Turdeau’s Liberals are meeting with US Democrats to plan a bailout. Bill Moroneau calls it a good investment – the money stream is declining so its a perfect fit for Government
