    Google (with the help of Microsoft Bing) control 99% of all internet searches and they should block all thing right wing from coming up in searches, and filter/ban all their content on YouTube. Make them disappear. They should also threaten to ban any platform that does not do the same from showing up on google search.

    Facebook and Twitter should simply filter and block all right wing posts and users, to silence their voice on internet and force them to stick to old fashion ways for spreading their opinion.

    They have an obligation to force America into the left, so we can join Canada, Europe and Australia/New Zealand.

    The right wing would disappear in one generation

    Why would we disappear?

    Are my views going to change simply because I can't search for something on YouTube?

    lol

    All that would happen is that a right wing channel or search engine would pop up and become the most popular out of all of them. .

    If the ability to see right wing viewpoints or stories ANYWHERE on the internet, was a thing then in 1 generation (20 years) the right wing would disappear because all you would see is left wing and the importance of the internet in life for work school and more would force people to give up and abide by the new rules

    Edit- Google and Bing make up 99.9% of search traffic how would you be able to spread the world of the right win alternative if you were blocked from posting about it or searching it?

    They already do this.

    I would think that if your side has better ideas, then it would prevail. That you want to silence any opposition says a lot about your side.

    I am not scared of anything, its just easier to get things done when the wing that is anti science and facts, disappears.

    Like I said, some conservative would simply start a search engine that doesn't censor your searches and it would become the most popular one out there?

    I was just wondering how they would get the word out if they could not use the internet to advertise?

    The tighter you grasp free thought and try to contain it, the more free thoughts there will be slipping through your fingers.

    What good would a debate forum be if only 1 side is there debating?

    I would encourage anyone who is an Amazon Prime member to watch a documentary there called "The Creepy Line". It documents how google and facebook already are doing what the OP is suggesting.

    Why couldn't they advertise?

    You are only blocking search engines or do you plan on blocking all news media also?

    What are you going to do about FOX News or any of the multitude of conservative papers in the nation?

    So now you are going beyond what you originally claimed.

    First it was just search engines and YouTube but now it's the entire internet.

    What about television?

    You will have to block that also because they can still advertise there.

    What about all the papers and magazines?

    FOX News has more viewers than anyone so what about them.

    What about AM Radio, just going to shut all that down also?

    I don't think you've thought this through very well.

    Generally I'm not for silencing people but if the internet giants mentioned in the OP want to do that then they should make sure when you log onto their sites their intention is posted. But every since Patrick shouted, "Give me liberty or give me death" the right wing, and the left wing, can't be shut up.

    Dedicated swamping by the right is trying to deflect the narrative into strange highways and biways.

    You guys are already doing this and it is hurting Progressives VERY badly.

    All this talk of "Identity Politics" from Democrats? Yeah, this is exactly it.

    Cracks me up how you are so ok with taking away peoples rights just because they disagree with you.

    Good to see you are at least being honest, most Progressives ask for this but act like they dont ACTUALLY want it.

    Good to see you are an open bigot

    It's too late, you have FAR too many people like the OP that are asking to be flat out openly bigoted.

    Too many Progressives are doing this and it is why so many Independents are disgusted by the party.
