I had a Pinterest account with over 15,000 mostly innocuous pins with about 10% Conservative cartoons. Yesterday I received an email, with this cop-out boilerplate, with items 2 and 3 not applicable:

Clay Travis, founder of conservative sports website Outkick Media, says that big tech companies have too much power and are infringing on Americans’ First Amendment rights.
“Big Tech controls the country. And they control the country by deciding what you see. And Big Tech’s power is only growing in the wake of Joe Biden’s election,” Travis told lawmakers at the House Antitrust, Commercial, and Administrative Law Subcommittee at a hearing Friday.
Travis recounted how after President Donald Trump joined his radio show on Aug. 11, 2020, on Outkick the Coverage, traffic for the website soared only to crash the next day.
“Because Facebook killed our traffic. Overnight, our readership vanished on their site. We lost 68 percent of our Facebook users and 76 percent of our new users on the site,” Travis told lawmakers.
He said his team concluded that because of the positive coverage of Trump, his organization was censored and lost thousands of dollars in revenue. Travis said the data from his site proved this.
“If we wrote too often and too favorably about the president, Facebook punished our site,” Travis said during the hearing titled “Reviving Competition, Part 2: Saving the Free and Diverse Press.”
“If we didn’t mention Trump very much, our site traffic grew. The power of Facebook was clear and their message was too: if you post content we don’t like, your audience will vanish.”
As a part of the effort to “save free press,” Antitrust committee Chairman David Cicilline (D-R.I.) and Ranking Member Ken Buck (R-Colo.) reintroduced the Journalism Competition & Preservation Act (JCP Act) in the House this week. The bill creates a temporary safe harbor for smaller news publishers to negotiate fees with online platforms like Google and Facebook—that share their content for free.

Actually just power mad and Marxist methods help them achieve what they want. They do not even know they are Marxists.

Xi told PMSNBCABCCBS, Google and Microsoft to pull the pic and all references, and they all did.

Goodness. That’s brutal. These folks are evil.
And everyone that bitches about this will sign on to their Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest accounts and complain. That’s right after they use gmail to tell other friends.
