FULL TITLE: Opinion: Silicon Valley tech giants like Facebook, Google now a direct threat to U.S. freedom, democracy

By now, pretty much everyone on the Internet knows that a number of Silicon Valley tech giants have banned and censored Alex Jones’ Infowars in a move that many believe was coordinated. Not only has Jones been banned from posting links to social media outlets, companies like MailChimp are targeting his basic business operation, preventing him from sending emails to subscribers.

cristina lópez g. ✔ @crislopezg BREAKING: MailChimp has also dropped Infowars. Jones just compared his deplatforming to being sent to an "electronic ghetto." 11:49 AM - Aug 7, 2018 286 169 people are talking about this

Not content with destroying and censoring Infowars, anti-free speech liberals are signaling their desire to do the same thing to Fox News and Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Ct., has said there needs to be even more censorship. All in the name of saving “democracy.” If that sounds rather Orwellian, that’s because it is.

Despite all their ballyhoo about supporting free speech online, the fact is that Silicon Valley tech giants like Facebook, Google and Twitter are now a direct threat to freedom and democracy as we have known it for more than two centuries.

As we’ve documented here many times, Facebook — the site once called “the world’s most dangerous censor” by Breitbart — has repeatedly banned users and yanked pages for extremely questionable reasons, falsely claiming the content violates their nebulous “community standards.” Meanwhile, other posts which clearly violate their standards have been allowed to stand.

Stole his business idea

Stole all the shares from his BEST friend

Secretly sold users’ data

Stated in a confidential email to a friend that people who trust him are "dumb-f*cks".

Married in the community proprety state of California, the very day AFTER he took Facebook public.

Requested nude photos of users to “protect them against the risk of revenge porn”.

Secretly tried to get hospitals to release vast stores of patient data “so I can help cure diseases”.

Initially pursued total rights ownership of images uploaded to FB; if you'd been photoed as a happy youth with, say, a can of Coors then later got really famous, Zuck could be paid by Coors for zero work and YOUR old photo in a new ad while you, the centerpiece of the ad, would get NOTHING. Struck down after lengthy legal battles.

De-platformed numerous Conservatives because he didn't agree with their views, couldn't define hate-speech when asked by Congress.

Secretly requested banks give him his users' financial data, including transactions, so “my users can check their balances on my site."

Digitally permitted his housing advertisers to filter out customers whose search histories were strongly associated with terms like "handicapped" , "mobility scooter" and "guidedog".

Admonished that people "build bridges instead of walls", all while building walls around his Palo Alto homes and around the huge Kauai Estate he bought and then threw the Hawaiians off of.

Established a "trustworthiness index" for ALL his facebook users while disclosing it to none of them.

Altered FB algorithms to flag content from conservative publications as spam.

Revered Augustus Caesar, leader of Rome who assured 200 years of peace via harsh rule, possibly arranging the execution of his own grandson. On a wedding anniversary trip to Rome, Zuck gushed so effusively over sculptures and monuments dedicated to Augustus that his wife joked that three people, not two, were on their trip.

For years, Zuck traditionally closed high-level Facebook executive meetings by shouting, "DOMINATION..!", perhaps half-jokingly.

Proposed installation in the homes of FB users special Facebook cameras that would follow and monitor users around as they went about their private lives inside their homes. But the cameras, Zuckerberg assured, would come with privacy settings which Facebook would, like, totally respect, or something.

Asked for user telephone numbers for 2 factor authentication but within weeks used that data for marketing purposes. If users chose to share their entire contact list, Facebook also shared that data with advertisers, even phone numbers of people who NEVER had a facebook account! After the Cambridge Analytica scandal FB pleged to reinvigorate user privacy but neither of these practices has stopped.

I couldn’t agree more with this opinion. Google removed itself from the U.S. military cloud computing contract competition because the contract doesn’t align with company values, yet are willing to work with the CHINESE GOVERNMENT on a censoring app!

When reflecting on this for a moment this morning, I wondered why we are allowing a company such as Google to exist (flourish) in the U.S. that is openly supporting the oppression of the Chinese people by working hand in hand with the Communist government, yet feels that the U.S. military needs don’t align with their company values?

Any and ALL contracts Google has with the U.S. government should be cancelled immediately!

JMHO...

I seriously believe that Alex Jones got banned from YouTube, Facebook and twitter etc., primarily for this right here:

Watch the crotch

Obama is the poster boy for the Marxist movement in the United States of Amrerica. This video proves that Michelle Obama is actually a man, that Barack Obama is married to a dude, that Barack Obama likes boys, that Barack Obama has a weakness for penis, that Barack Obama is a complete and total fag. Not very respectable. And they know it. And they are very very afraid of this becoming common knowledge.

If it becomes common knowlede that "Michelle" Obama is a dude, Obama's influence will be measurably diminished. And the momentum they think they have going for Marxist domination will also be affected. They want to shut this this info down bad.

Alex Jones had over a million followers on YouTube. And those million plus people know millions more people by assoication. No man is an island. You think the Marxist Mob is worried about millions of people hearing about UFO conspiracy theories, 911 troother conspiracy theories or CIA operation conspiracy theories?
