Alex, agreed....
I like it, Alex.
Excellent! Stick it to the man!
Wrong, they want us to leave and since we haven’t they shadow ban conservatives.
Would be wonderful if this could happen.
And it's not as simple as "If you don't like Twitter's rules, go build your own Twitter!"
They won't let you.
Agree with Alex
Maxine Waters told us the Halfricn had a huge unprecedented data base of American to use in Democrat campaigns. Hmmmmmmm........how'd the half cast imbecile do that? How many visits did Facebook's Zuckerberg have w/ the Halfrican in the White House ? Dozens + dozens....but, hey, they were just talking golf and kids, surely. And when candidate Obama looted Facebook of personal data for his campaign. Zuck was right there helping Obama take whatever he wanted.
===================================
Let's stroll down memory lane. (hat tip edzo4)
An extraordinary moment caught on film...tech masterminds of the universe in one place, toasting each other for screwing Americans in the name of Obama. Tech titans holding vast info on Americans plot the plan to compile a data base on Americans to be used in Democrat campaigns.
THE ORIGINS OF OBAMA'S POLICE STATE---DATA BASE ON AMERICANS CAUGHT ON FILM. (Mercury News photo)
Freeper edzo4 hat tip.
============================
What electronic frauds are being perpetrated that allow tinpot Obama to use the US govt against innocent Americans....and Republican candidates that stand in his way?
I am all for a voluntary conservative mass exodus. But involving the government is a bad idea. Indeed, when conservatives start talking like philosophical cousins of Al Franken then we have a problem.
Does anyone really think the Deep Staters and this colossus giving us the IRS, Obamacare, the EPA, DACA, the IRS, and the Kelo ruling etc would really make the FB and Google et al situation better? As I wrote elsewhere, empowering this govt to go after these private actors could result in some twisted result where all citizens are then REQUIRED to have a FB and Google account or else you'll have to pay a fee/tax. It can't happen here? Look at all the legal rulings blocking Trump's efforts on immigration. Look at Roberts' Obamacare opinion.
Asking today's Deep State-backed Leviathan to save us from FB and Google is like asking Hillary to protect our embassy in Benghazi.
We little people have to solve this with private action.
At the very least, search engines should be required to identify political bias in their search routines. Without such identification, they are misleading people with pretended objectivity and truthfulness. If I am searching for a nearby restaurant, I want to know whether they are excluding ones owned by conservatives.
Yes, they DID CENSOR Alex Jones. And unlike per their lies, he IS NOT a hater, although is is aConspiract Theorist. So what? I like to study possible conspiracies, myself. But here is a VERY flagrant example of censorship, defiling two of our American Bill of Rights: It is worth noting that both Disqus and Fakebook CENSOR any mention of a website, www.CodeIsFreeSpeech.com that provides FREE downloads of 3D-printable firearm blueprints. And, since Facebook/Disqus logins are so prevalent for posting commentary across the Internet, they are very effectively suppressing this Forbidden Knowledge almost EVERYWHERE. Please go to the website, download some or all 10 of the free blueprints, and then, repost it to your friends and across the Internet, to the extent you can. Strike a BLOW against Fakebook and judicial CENSORSHIP! Support TWO amendments at once, the First and the Second!
“And it’s not as simple as “If you don’t like Twitter’s rules, go build your own Twitter!” They won’t let you.”
An EXCELLENT point indeed!
The bigger issue to me is they all banned him at the same time. There may be something illegal in that but they would never be charged so I guess it didn’t matter.
BTW I don’t like Alex Jones but I do know the way they banned him isn’t right.
Like Jones or not, hes got a point.
When a private social media platform has enough reach that censoring people on it curtails free speech, they have too much power. Time to break them up.
Government mandated political neutrality is more appropriate for virtual monopoly common carriers like AT&T and Verizon, who operate the internet via publicly regulated spectrum and wires, than it is for those who use the internet, such as Google and FR.
First they came for Alex Jones and The Proud Boys.
Soon they will be coming for the rest of us.
Something must be done to level the playing field.
How about if, instead of banning and controlling a conversation, they should add their own comments to counter what is being said. That is exactly what the first amendment is about. If a statement cannot withstand scrutiny, then it will lose validity and credibility. However having a star chamber of private or public sector people deciding what goes and what doesn’t is very wrong.
I have a friend that is a conspiracy theorist who I disagree with a lot. The problem is many times he turns out to be correct.
Odd this is all happening before the mid-term elections. Just a coincidence, I’m sure...
