Social media - Tracking, profiling, censorship and privacy respecting alternatives
the problem
All of the Big Tech social media platforms actively engage in coordinated censorship of user content when such content contradicts establishment narratives. Facebook, YouTube, Google, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit and others have all been caught punishing their users through shadow-banning, de-listing, deletion and de-platforming, even when such content clearly does not violate their convoluted and arbitrary terms of service agreements. For an excellent introduction and solutions to this problem, please watch Problem Reaction Solution: Internet Censorship Edition by James Corbett of The Corbett Report.
Such censorship has reached a whole new level since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and again since the coronavirus hoax where even respected career professionals and scientists in the healthcare field are not permitted to have a voice on any mainstream social media platform when that voice challenges that of the government mouthpieces.

As i see it, the primary issue here is not that the fat corporate clowns are cutting their own throats by censoring users, but rather that people with important and often vital information which is clearly in the public interest, continue to rely on platforms like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter to disseminate their views and then complain when they're censored or banned. True, alternatives such as BitChute, Gab, Mastodon and others don't offer the amount of exposure that Big Tech does, assuming the latter allows you any exposure at all, however that will change as more people start using alternative platforms. I mean really, have they left us with any other choice? And that's not an entirely bad thing either, especially when many of the alternative platforms have a far greater respect for freedom of speech and personal privacy.
I'm sure there are many other alternatives than those listed here, so let me know if you know of one.
