If Twitter was banning leftists for wrong-think, some judge would strike it down and say Twitter is a place of public accommodation or something.
It’s the same old story. They came for the Jews and I said nothing, etc. Twitter, Google, Facebook, Amazon, and YouTube must be destroyed.
Private-sector totalitarianism.
I don’t know if any of the future-dystopia movies got that right. Rollerball had corporations replacing government, but they weren’t totalitarians. Judge Dredd wasn’t much of a dystopia at all. Logan’s Run, Soylent Green, Planet of the Apes, Rollover, Colossus: The Forbin Project, Brave New World, 1984, Hunger Games, all government.
I wish I had an easy answer but I don't. I do know that running away to internet backwaters isn't the answer.
We need to stay and fight. Keep posting. Keep calling out these sites for their blatant hypocrisy. If they ban your account, make a new one! And a new one after that! Keep up the pressure.
Post everywhere! Every FReeper should have accounts on Twitter, Reddit, YouTube, Facebook, etc. where we continue to spread conservative, pro-Trump, pro-MAGA messages to a growing and increasingly "red-pilled" audience who are now starting to see this crap for what it is; a blatant effort to silence us in the face of their repeated defeats. They're not even trying to hide it anymore.
Agree. Never surrender the field to the enemy
These social media companies don’t like free speech.
Interesting. There was a leftist attack near Gen Con recently, on a ‘Nazi’, as defined by the criminal, and one of the Gen Con officials applauded the attack on Twitter. That’s still up.
A good start would be a few more words in 42 U.S. Code § 2000a, bringing the digital realm into the legal definition of “public accommodation”.
The first thing we need to do is dispense with the notion that these platforms respect free speech.
The people who run these sites are partisan Democrats and in recent years they saw their sites be co-opted by the right to earn victories. Not just Donald Trump but Brexit, and a resurgence in populist, right-wing European parties. This is why they are shutting down right-wing voices but not left-wing ones. There is no "fair and balanced" in war.
This is what happens when you knock Antifa out and it goes viral.
George “Palpatine” Soros?
I went to the sound of the guns on Twitter in early October 2016.
Only have had one account suspended... 
I laugh at FR thread-fights any more.
As you know well, Drew68 - if you want a dangerous fight, you can find one on Twitter any old time with some Lefty slime.
exactly. Proud Boys were the ones holding free speech and prayer rallies getting attacked by ANTIFA.
If three or four tech lefties can rule the entire internet and conspire to remove giant voices of the right, or in Alex Jone’s case a voice of descent, because remember he could not stand GWB, then this needs to be dealt with asap. Some FR members need to stop shrugging their shoulders and writing “Well start your own internet” because they have no clue what this means for a few companies to collude to remove voices off of not just their site but the internet all together.
WHAT A COINCIDENCE THESE CRITICS OF LEFTISM ARE STARTING TO GET PURGED A FEW MONTHS BEFORE THE MIDTERMS..
What if some pols on the left had a talking to with their tech giant buddy donors, and ask them for a little favor?? A little favor like shutting down voices on the right since you know, traditional media is rendered useless to combat those voices.
You know that is what is happening here, right? Silencing a ONE political party ahead of a major election.
Jones was on these forums spouting his same stuff FOR OVER A DECADE in the case of You Tube, but now he’s offensive?
Same with Gavin and The Proud Boys.
Don’t call me a conspiracy theorist, but this is the real collusion among the west coast left wing tech giants to get rid of popular voices on the right, and a few months before an important election...it is obvious. Remember the IRS targeting tea party groups at the behest of McCain, and others.
Look at what the FBI was involved in doing to try and run a soft coup on POTUS. Don’t put anything passed the elite globalists and their corporate pals.
Yet the left talk Russia Russia Russia, and these bastards are actively conspiring to influence an election. First with fraud and found ballots, then the long game of importing millions of illegals, and now censoring people
well i heard that now even gab had to remove a member’s posts or the server host ran by Microsoft was going to take away their license and effectively shut down GAB,
so much for “hey just start your own site” BS some blind Freepers spout off in these social media bans a right wing voice threads.
I’ve already been banned 2x and won’t provide a phone number to make a new account.
Conservatives need to program and build a web site, search engine, and other platforms to compete and begin boycotting anyone advertising on the site and telling companies that you’re boycotting them. Pick one or two only and make it a concerted effort.
Are ANTIFA and left-leaning accounts banned as well?
