Apparently, publishing a study that the vaccinated have a 1300% greater chance of getting COVID than the unvaccinated who have acquired natural immunity, is now worthy of censorship.

Should people like Alex be censored? No. However, the censorship is a reality to be dealt with. Anybody on twit, screwtube, Fakebook who is depending on them for ‘communication’ & isn’t already posting on a non-censoring platform as well .... not smart.

That was one of the biggest failures of the Trump presidency. He should have established some strong alternatives to Farcebook and Tweater early on.

Red states need to return the favor and flip the switch on these Big Tech fascists. This is a war and only one side is fighting.

Here's my problem. All my life leftists have promoted Marxism despite VOLUMES of empirical data that shows it doesn't work.

Yet THEY enjoy the blessings of free speech. Funny how the one way street has so many potholes.

I have a permanent suspension from Twitter and don’t even post. They mustn’t like someone I followed or they made a mistake. I sure as hell ain’t making an appeal for them to reverse it.

He’s said on Tucker’s show many times that this was inevitable.

No public utility should ever have a censorship policy.

No, Trump is a potentate of of biz networking.

IMHO it was predictable that the deep state was gonna cut him off at some point.

He needed to have alternatives.

"No public utility should ever have a censorship policy."

Twitter is a private company. They can do whatever they want. If they want to throw customers out of their store, they have that right.

NO conservative should give them an ounce of business. Personally, I won't ever go to Twitter or Facebook. If everyone else did the same, Jack Dorcey and Mark Zuckerberg would have nothing but a bunch of whiny communists arguing with each other.

Twitter, Facebook, etc. should ban folks who explicitly call for violence. Otherwise, they should just add a disclaimer to any post they think is incorrect. Something like: “We believe that one or more statements in this post are incorrect. Please do your own due diligence.”

But no. Twitter, etc. have decided to take a hard, fascist approach instead - silence anyone who disagrees with the party line.

Frustrating and idiotic, the suppression of information, regardless of what the clueless YouTube boobs think, is a tell. What does it tell? That they support the use of this disease to effect an authoritarian domination of the government, economy, and society of the United States.

I am not suppressing the dubious blanket statements regarding the safety and efficacy of the various available vaccines. So, why do they care that I might think otherwise?

Because the supporters of a One Party State are using the draconian restrictions and strange vaccine fascism to force Americans to live literally as caged animals, at the pleasure of the corrupt leftist elite. Effective free speech is a threat to that plan, and so censorship is their reflexive reaction.

If the Democrats have their way, spreading “Misinformation” and “Disinformation”, according to their constantly changing definitions, will become crimes, much worse than the vandalism, arson, assault and murder their allies in the BLM and ANTIFA have and continue to perpetrate. This is my definition of tyranny, and the Democrats are all in about this, and cannot walk back this evil. The die is cast.

The Trump Organization comprises roughly 500 different businesses.

I assume he was capable of doing what was needed.
