IF republicans were smart=- they woudl begin lobbying conservative companies to ban liberals etc- what’s good for goose is good for gander
Well, big tech needs to be declared a monopoly under the Sherman Anti Trust Act.
We need all sorts of entry level tech firms.
Conservatives MUST stop supporting these commie socialist entities.
I wouldn't be a bit surprised if this sparked a huge movement to use alternative media sources that are not biased.
These companies are quaking in their bunny slippers over Infowars - they just revealed that. Well, now I’m much more impressed with Infowars.
Collusion. RICO racketeering case. $10 billion fine each, tripled.
It’s an Inside Job!
And what exactly are the GOP’s gutless wonders on Capitol Hill going to do about this coordinated shutdown by the tech oligarchs of the social media presence of an organization disliked by liberals?
The answer is disturbing while simple:
Make it against the law to discriminate based on political belief, just like all the protected classes.
Also, someone somehow needs to loudly point out that the “press” as a definition is not defined by anyone. So, Acosta cannot complain about freedom of the press issues (ha) while helping suppress other press outlets.
Germany -— the 1930s....
Err there is a congressional committee on censorship that is ADVOCATING censorship?????
They look real happy over at CNN tonight,bless their souls.
I get it now.
This ban is a precursor to them eventually trying to ban Q.
These companies do not have their own national and international communications systems. They depend upon AT&T and all the other telecoms of various sizes to transmit and route their data to and from their millions of users. I don’t see how their censorship and restriction of who can use their facilities offered to the public is so different from a situation where the telecoms and owners of the vast communications systems did the same.
I don’t think their grounds for restricting who can use their systems are all that sound. We’ll see as things develop more.
With the loss of value in facebook, the ethical questions left hanging by the Cambridge Analytics scandal, and heavy leftward bias of their employees, I doubt they had to do much arm-twisting. Even better for them, it was all voluntary. No threats of investigation or other heavy-handed tactics by the government that might raise flags about the First Amendment. A nod, a wink, and a “hey, c’mon” from their party and media allies and it was done.
I know Jones is not liked here but we at FR better rally up here or this site is toast.. Free speech was paid for with a million patriot lives. Shutting him down is total bull shit. Nobody is forced to read it or hear it.. Webstand together or hang seperately.
Things they claim Jones says that are not true:
President Barack Obama was not born in America, former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton ran a sex-trafficking operation, and Nazis and other fascists were actually the creators of a left-wing authoritarianism that now threatens America.
Hmmmm....
Anyone who has internet access has access to Infowars.com. They are up and running, not censored. And their response time is quite snappy.
This is a bunch of hyperbolic nonsense.
A bunch of dumbasses think Social Media have an obligation to carry Infowars.
They don’t.
Just like this site won’t let you post one of their articles.
Must have struck a nerve. I guess they can’t take a joke, or the truth.
By the time this is addressed, the 2018 elections will be over, and if successful, Trump will be impeached.
