These purges and shadow bans did affect the midterms.

They need to purge and ban as much ad possible for 2020 and they will be enacting their process.

They do not want alternate viewpoints and arguments disseminated because they cannot win on direct discussion with facts and reason.

Nor can they win on funny memes that make a point.

The author should be thankful that the water company, electric company, gas company, phone company, credit card company, bank, etc. that provide her with service haven't yet realized that, at least according to her, they can discontinue her service if they don't like her politics "since they're private companies." What an idiot!

You ain’t seen nothing yet. Just wait until a 3rd party gets a large amount of supporters then you will see Orwellian Tech unleashed with full top cover from the Uniparty.

They can suspend or ban conservative contributors and users, but, can’t conservatives/republicans play the same game.

Aren’t conservatives and republicans a huge block of their users and contributors?

Then, why not we conservatives and republicans suspend and ban Twitter from our lives? We can decide to stop using Twitter and have them lose close to half their ‘audience’.

We can hit them even harder in the pocketbook by having the conservative/republican investors pull their money out; certainly, there are many other better places to ‘park’ our money.

Complaining while watching them do more harm doesn’t get us any satisfaction. It’s like the corner grocery store. If they don’t serve us and we don’t visit their store, they don’t succeed and eventually die.

“If Twitter hasn’t suspended or banned you yet, don’t feel relieved. You may be next”

If you haven’t had your account locked or haven’t been banned outright from twitter, you’re not doing it right. I’ve had 5 different accounts locked out in the span of a year. Now, I can’t even sign up without them ‘knowing’ who I am. Yes, yes, VPN and all that...

1946
“A community is low on a ‘Respect’ scale if common courtesy is withheld from large groups of people on account of their political attitudes.”

“...in a downright despotism opposition is dangerous whether the despotism is official or whether it is unofficial...”

“A community rates low on the ‘Information’ scale when the press, radio, and other channels of communication are controlled by only a few people and when citizens have to accept what they are told.”

“See how a community trains its teachers”
“...these students are being taught to accept uncritically whatever they are told. Questions are not encouraged.”

“And if books and newspapers and the radio [and facebook and youtube and...] are officially controlled the people will read and accept exactly what the few in control want them to. Government censorship is one form of control. The newspaper that breaks the government censorship rule can be suspended. It is also possible for newspapers and other lines of communication to be controlled by private interests...”

Democracy (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)

“The newspapers of a real democracy meet these tests...”

Newspaper checks.
1. Balance of coverage
2. Disclosure of source
3. Competence of staff

Twitter and Facebook will both ban President Trump the day he leaves office.

I signed up for Twitter just to see what it was all about. I picked President Trump and a bunch of other conservatives to follow and my account was immediately suspended.

wake up, people. They don’t care about the diehard conservatives. They are only eliminating the voice of conservatives so that the swing voters will only hear the liberal propaganda. The swing voters will decide the next election.

Twitter et al are becoming media mouthpieces, not social media, if not anti social medias.

Time to set up alternatives

Leave twitter and go where they are terrified that you will go. Go to Gab if you are into the tweet thing.

Last Wednesday was supposed to be a big day in congress for exposing the Clinton foundation. It had actually been planed for months and was called D5. Somehow the bad actors managed to get a state funeral to take place on that day. So the hearing was postponed to This Thursday. If we don’t get any more “big events” then Thursday will be a big day.

Twitter is just preparing to minimize the damage by locking conservatives out. They don’t want any bad news to be able to propagate.

the achilles heel of the great de-platforming is that it's intended to de-monetize conservative activities, diminishing the reach of conservative marketing, and it's organized across tech sectors, with payment processors, ad agencies, and network services colluding to prevent unwanted competitors from entering the market.

ANTI-TRUST IS ASLEEP AT THE F*ING WHEEL!!!

No, it was easy for me to feel sympathy for Alex Jones, because I understood exactly where things were headed.

Jack first tried this in earnest in October of 2015, when he became CEO of Twitter. Then again about 10 months later after Trump was the confirmed GOP nominee. Both times were attempts to appease Google as the primary suitor.

Jack wants Google to buy Twitter -- he gets the golden parachute and leaves the censorship to Google.

Both times Google rejected the bride, not because the price was too high but because they don't want the jackpot ie, shutting down the President.

If someone inside Twitter turned off @realDonaldTrump, WOW, Jack would be in front of a Senate select committee the next morning...

Fastest intentional company collapses in world history. Amazing so many of these freaks are willing to fall on their swords for their false gods. Well, let the sword make its cut.
