Free Republic

Facebook recently locked up the account of "Heros of Liberty" only to later backtrack following the uproar, saying it was an "error." It was one of those "errors" that only happen conservatives. Facebook originally said that Heroes of Liberty – which has published books about Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, former President Ronald Reagan and author Thomas Sowell – violated the company's rules against "Low Quality or Disruptive Content." Facebook originally locked the ads account on Dec. 23, and after Heroes of Liberty appealed the ruling, the company permanently disabled the account. A favorite of mine, @jewishdeplorable, was suspended...

I’m the founder of MeWe, the ad-free social network with data privacy and no content amplification or newsfeed manipulation. MeWe competes directly with Facebook. On June 27, 2019, I wrote an op-ed in this newspaper headlined “I Compete With Facebook, and It’s No Monopoly.” I’ve changed my mind. MeWe continues to succeed, albeit on a modest scale. Two years ago the platform had five million users and no revenue. Today it has nearly 20 million users and is breaking even with millions of dollars in revenue. Yet despite MeWe’s growth, Facebook’s troubling actions over the last two years have caused...

I noticed that American Thinker and other sites now use MeWe for their comments forum instead of directly on their website. Anyone have experience with this? Is it just another FascistBook? I want to sign up with my eyes open.

This interview arose from the digital arguments when George Phillies merely proposed setting up pages to advertise N3F on Mewe and Parler. Mr. Hunt was defending free speech and the platforms themselves, so I contacted him for an interview. This is the result. Jason Hunt is the CEO and publisher of SciFi4Me. Corporate Vision Magazine called them the best horror, science fiction and fantasy entertainment media news platform in 2020. And I had the opportunity to interview him. Tamara Wilhite: How long as SciFi4Me been around? And how has it changed over the years? Jason Hunt: We got started in...

People all over the world are leaving FB and TW in droves because they are fed up with the privacy violations, surveillance capitalism, political bias, targeting & newsfeed manipulation by these companies . . . #MeWe solves these problems. #LetsMeWe

App seen as conservative alternative to Twitter has gone dark in aftermath of Capitol riot The now-silenced Parler app that appeared to have played a key role in mobilizing the Trump-inspired mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 had a greater share of users who are either veterans or in the U.S. military compared with other social media platforms. Parler also drew more users from states in the South and in the Mountain West — tracking closely with pro-Trump Republican voters in those states — than from other parts of the country. The findings come from research by...

I'm just checking in. I already have a MeWe account as an alternative to Facebook, which I plan to leave on Jan. 20. Unfortunately, MeWe, just like Parler used to be, is on Amazon servers, so another Facebook-like app would be appropriate as an alternative. MeWe seems safe for now, but you never know when the temperamental Wokey McWokersons of Amazon will determine that MeWe offends them and remove them from the servers. So, I just wanted to know if anybody else is on there and what their experience has been like. Thanks in advance.

We all need some humour as this internet wide banning of conservatives happens and we find new ways around the bans.

Pro-Trump activists have found a new online home to protest vote-counting less than 24 hours after Facebook shut down an organizing group of more than 365,000 members for breaking its policies around inciting violence. Thousands have flocked to such groups on MeWe, a social platform emphasizing users' rights and privacy that anti-lockdown protesters turned to earlier this year after they were kicked off Facebook. Nearly a dozen "Stop the Steal" groups have popped up since Thursday on MeWe, Business Insider has found, filled with posts claiming voter fraud and organizing state-by-state protests of election results. "Stop the Steal," a conspiracy...
