Conservatives fleeing or being expelled from huge, global communication platforms ensures that progressives can further dominate the narrative that is consumed by the least politically engaged.

If this weren’t bad for Republicans and conservatives, then Twitter, Facebook, Apple etc wouldn’t be doing it. Losing the battle for social media will be as bad, and possibly even worse, for conservatives as losing academia has been.

Look what has happened to Julian Assange. Facing 175 years in Florence CO ADX Supermax, held without bail in the UK terrorist prison, Belmarsh.

O’Keefe is probably headed for such a fate down the line...or maybe just an unfortunate accident.

Simple. We have the ingenuity, so why dig deeper into these monolithic corporate pits of censorship?

Why do churches use facebook or twitter, and then pitch a fit when they are blocked?

Social media is not static.

The truth is not politically correct.

I see a bit of hyperbole involved over the importance of Twitter banning people and being available to all as if it was a 1A right. While I don't like the practice and can't stand Jack Dorsey, I don't use Twitter and haven't since the Obama administration. I am old enough to remember the time before the Internet, before cable TV, before smartphones, when you had word of mouth and five over-the-air TV stations, radio and newspapers (which were leftist rags even back then). Sometimes I am amazed at how well informed I was back then. I'll catch myself telling a story about how it was back in the old days and wonder how in the world did I even know that was happening.

Granted, social media can help communication, but I suspect the reality of the situation is that about 99% of what is communicated is noise and unneeded. I really do not need to know local news of someplace 1,000 miles away or even 100 miles. Most of the crap news on social media is just that. Too much becomes national or global on social media. That removes focus for the importance of issues, since every moment spent on crap is a moment not spent on something of national import (or state).

As for Project Veritas, I certainly find out about its work without Twitter. As long as there are conservative news outlets and an open Internet, there is a way to get message out. People need to stop being afraid of life without social media. Kill it. Stop using it. Take that power away from people like Jack Dorsey. We really do not need social media, we would be better served by a little more focus on the big stuff. (Don't sweat the small stuff.) Additionally, life is much better dealing with people face-to-face (without face diapers) instead of through devices.

What it Means for the Rest of Us When Twitter Bans O’Keefe and Project Veritas

It means you should have listened to those crazy survivalists and been prepping for the past ten years. They might not have known exactly what the coming shtf scenario was but it's here.

Hope James O’Keefe has good security.

The question is this: Why are you still on Twitter?

I'd like to see a stake driven through Twitter's bottom line.

Twitter stock price plunged as much as 12% causing them to lose $5 billion in market value, Business Insider reported.
