> i don't think i have ever seen an effective protest app in the US

Twitter and Facebook serve protesters very well

It seems popular opinion on the left that social networks like these would be censored if a real revolution ever actually popped off in the US.

the left would push for a censor if the right were (perceived) to be leading the revolution, and the right would do so if the left were trying.

And right now, the right (accidentally?) won, so the left are naturally reacting to anything that might have lead to that victory: namely, social media.
