The Social Media Migration Wave: From Facebook and Twitter to MeWe and Telegram

First Facebook and Twitter joined forces to shut down the account of U.S. President Donald Trump, then the Parler platform was removed from the Apple and Google stores, and even Amazon came down hard and outright banned the entire platform—which makes one want to compare it with the domestic ruling party's move to shut down the CTi News channel.
