Illustrates why it is so important for business to control the critical operations of their business in house. This is especially true as corporations become woke and willing to punish those of different political beliefs. Discrimination because of politics needs to end.

Any idiot promoting violence in the name of conservatism is only going to harm us via public opinion or worse. The biased media are experts at spinning (or lying or creating or muzzling) events in their favor. We need to create a infrastructure that can offset that ability.

Trump experienced 5 years of wrongful attacķs by leftists and their media, and then they topped it off with a stolen election. It rightfully made him angry as well as his supporters, and enough so that judgement of outcome was affected. We need to make sure we act with smarts and righteousness and not allow the left to use us.

I’m going to drop Prime as a statement of protest. They prorate with refund. Every leftist run organization that depends on customers, needs to face a financial hit from their outrageous unAmerican bias. It may not always be convenient.

Agreed. End to end digitalization enables your listening, viewing habits and what you say to be monitored and tracked by government and business interests. That analog cell and off the air TV and radio (unless on WiFi) was/is your own business.

In my Amazon app there is a contact button. If I push it Amazon calls me every time I push it.. I’ve been pushing it over and over. They keep calling and calling but I’ve been busy.

That’s rhetoric.

Who’s more susceptible to political pressure than the government? SJWs at Amazon already pressured the company to refuse to provide facial recognition software to law enforcement.

Tech totalitarians colluding to silence us. This has to be the most vile assault on free express in the history of the USA.

Get ready for the implementation of china's "social credit" system. It is already starting with social media and people losing their jobs for supporting candidates who "the party" does not approve of in our new 'woke' society. This can only end one way unfortunately.

Our 'overlords' who control the big tech and social media companies may need to be reminded that they are only human and are therefore mortal. These reminders may have to come to them at about 2400 fps.

Yep, not being on Twitter won’t be an option, they simply won’t hire you without a Twitter account to check on.

And just not posting anything or not saying anything bad won’t be enough, you must proclaim your love of Big Brother, and denounce anyone who doesn’t.

It just dawned on some people there are double standards.

We are living in a new Jim Crow world and conservatives are the black people now.

But in the end I think after 20 year If there was a way to take this down it would’ve already happened because it’s been tried

Standby for a surprise. Obama sold off US control of ICANN. Taking conservative sites off can start with something as simple as taking out the DNS lookup. You'll have to keep a local /etc/hosts and do your own. Games can be played with blacklisting IP addresses so that people who subscribe to blacklist/whitelist suppliers will cut off access to those on the blacklist. Getting in the business of McAfee/Norton/MalwareBytes/ESET, you could put more blacklisting stuff in.

Currently, my employer doesn't block FR, but it does block other site using blacklisting mechanisms. It's easier than you know to squash/extinguish access.

No, order more from Amazon. Expensive stuff.

Order cheap stuff. $5. Return it. The amount of processing for $5 or $500 is the same. Burn some CPU/disk cycles for no net gain (all expense) on the Amazon end.

You bet it will.
