One little voice vs. all that Saudi cash...the result was inevitable.
Islamists are another protected group.....in fact all groups are protected ‘except’ for those not in an ethnic group.
They already did that with Gab.
And then Gab was targeted because of one user’s actions, and lost its payment processors and domain providers and access to underlying infrastructure.
So what’s next, “Build your own internet”?
No. At some point, we just need to force Big Tech - which has ALL KINDS of deep connexions with governments at all levels -to be good citizens and treat all users evenhandedly.
The only reason Free Republic has been exempted from what Gab and other sites have faced is because it is so small it’s not worth Big Tech’s effort to suppress it. A couple of hundred thousand users a month is peanuts compared to platform’s with hundreds of millions.
What makes you think any of those are ‘services’...they aren’t. They are indeed data collection sites to sell to other data collecting sites to track you and thereby ‘sell’ you.....’human currency’ is what we are....to the highest bidder.
Thomas Paine retroactively banned too.
Awesome.
We must cover for the fact that 650 MILLION INNOCENT PEOPLE have been murdered by muslims in 1400 years!!!
Why support that which would destroy us?
To hell with them.
I gave them up a long time ago.
(Full disclosure: Twitter banned me for anti-islam comments and for calling that freak idiot, Ron Perlman, a "lantern-jawed dumbass". I've made absolutely no effort to get re-instated and will not, either.)
You are not getting it.
FR created their own ISP. FR CANNOT be shadow-banned or controlled by leftists in Silicon Valley.
FR accepts no adverting. They control their own platform.
Nothing is stopping Loomer from doing the same.
Loomer has a web site.
So they go one level up. FR could be removed from the internet if they chose to remove it, and there’s not a thing JimRob could do about it.
The ultimate point is that people shouldn’t have to build themselves basic infrastructure everytime they want to exercise free speech on a platform that caters to more than a few thousand people. Expecting them to do so is simply stupid.
I love those “games” where you learn your elf name or whatever where you enter your birth month and birth date to finf your name and totally tell them your birthday. All those games are designed to collect or verify your info.
