Trump could set up an alternative to twitter tomorrow using his billion dollar fortune as seed capital. The technology is already out there - GNUSocial, Gab, and Mastodon.
Look at theDonald.win as an example. Reddit banned their forum, so they created a new website where they can post.
Trump has the audience of millions to create a right-wing only website where his followers can chat together if they wish, or he could encourage his followers to join Gab.
Obviously you can't see beyond Trump. I'm trying to make a point about freedom of speech on the Internet, and you can't see beyond "orange man has money". There are broader issues at stake here than partisan politics. The next decade could shape the rest of the century. I certainly don't want that century to be dictated to by private companies whose only guiding principle is profit.
