    In re Hebrew Hammer article: that certainly was an interesting read. I am not sure I feel comfortable saying any more.

    Please oh please - somebody else chime in on this stuff!

    This has and is already occurring. NY did it to the NRA over insurance. The feds did it with banking between 2008 and 2016. The tech is doing it because of pressure already. What he wrote is an observation, not forward thinking.

    All of these are really good points I should have included. I was thinking them (especially when I mentioned regulation), but didn't spell it out. Just added them.

    Several years ago I went to the US EPA's website and was way disturbed to see that one could log onto it using a google or facebook credential. Ditch both of these and similar orgs asap.

    Maybe tech like mewe.com are options. Distributed solutions where take down orders are made irrelevant. Solutions using block chain technology
    Or darknet solutions. But the more complex the solution is for end users, the less effective it will be.

    Agree. Though i’m note a social media (fb, ig, etc) user.

    From what i’ve seen and heard mewe has a similar navigational feel. So not overly difficult to change. Problem is getting more ppl to use these newer platforms. May just take time or a true motivating factor.

    Dont forget about jurists who are also activists. I forget the case but at least one is being allowed to continue even though it violates legal commerce in arms act.

    Oh and the major tech company that just banned all processing of credit cards for firearms and accessories processing and is banning vendors and sites based on 2a.
