They only have the influence you give them. Stop organising on corporate platforms.
What platform would you organise on that can handle the load whilst not being subject to terms where they can take down your protest events?
People managed just fine in the past. Word of mouth. Fliers. Set up a lightweight static website. You don't need 70k people to be able to press a 「いいね」 button or leave a comment. People can use text messages, IM, email, and their own facebook groups, twitter groups, or whatever to spread the word. You can keep physical ledgers of people you organise with.
There's no reason that a group of 70k people couldn't be thousands of groups of handfuls of individuals all working for a similar cause.
Since you're such an expert, why don't you start organizing protests this way? See the many people you can reach in the modern world without using social media.
