What about this forum? There is plenty of anti-establishment sentiment, and there are arguably some rather extreme views here - certainly plenty for the hypersensitive or fake hypersensitive operatives to find offensive.

I have no doubt that government and powerful private entities mine social media for data on people - their opinions and actions, and dirt that can be used against them if necessary. Anonymity or disguise is probably a good idea in many cases, combined with VPNs etc.

The "global elite" don't want to get rid of social media because it is still a tool they can use to manipulate people. They just don't want too many contrary views being expressed. At the moment, they aren't having much success in controlling them.
