Commentary: My Company Won’t Cancel You, but Big Tech CRM Bully Salesforce Might
The Ohio Star ^ | February 25, 2021 | Staff/Craig Klein

Posted on 02/24/2021 11:04:02 PM PST by CheshireTheCat

Salesforce has shut down the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) ability to send emails through their platform.

Salesforce.com is a Silicon Valley-based giant in the enterprise software space with over $13 billion in revenue. The company was founded by Marc Benioff in 1999, who acquired Time Magazine in 2018.

In a just-published Project Veritas video, an undercover journalist leaked a recording of the company’s top executives during a video teleconference discussing their decision to stop the RNC’s emails and what they see as their role in “policing free speech”. By the way, Salesforce shut down Project Veritas, too.

They cite their Acceptable Use terms and claim that the RNC’s emails “directly or indirectly” contributed to “violence,” including the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021.

In this video, Salesforce President and COO, Brent Taylor, calls the people that rallied in Washington DC on January 6th, a “mob” and describes his company’s perceived role in policing speech in our country. This is chilling stuff!

Perhaps to the chagrin of the likes of Taylor – who goes out of his way to say how much he “honors” the First Amendment – Salesforce’s shutdown of the Republican National Committee and Project Veritas doesn’t have anything to do with freedom of speech. It’s about silencing speech.

So Salesforce has joined Twitter, Facebook, and Google to openly target and censor voices on the right side of the spectrum.

It’s outrageous. It’s insulting. And as the CEO of a competitor of Salesforce, I’m here to take a stand against these Big Tech oligarchs and say enough is enough...

Taylor’s on Twitter’s board of directors, so there is collusion between Salesforce and Twitter.

There should be right now the jangling of pockets itching for a judicial judgement that will take Salesforce to the cleaners. All of those Cancel Culture SOBs’ days are numbered. I can hardly wait for the tipping point.

SalesForce is more of a contact management system. Not necessarily “sales” per se.

“ And silence from the RNC.”

No surprise. It has become very clear over since Ronald Reagan left the White House the professional politicians of the Republican Party have no interest in preserving individual liberty. Every time there is a major test, they remain silent or completely capitulate.

Since the 2020 Election Day, with very few exceptions, they have been silent or active collaborators with the forces of tyranny. Likely they know the round ups and transport to re-education camps is coming.

Project Veritas Exposes More Big Tech Censorship, Salesforce.Com

Posted on  by Sundance

James O’Keefe with Project Veritas has another insider leak to his organization from a person connected to “Salesforce” a Customer Relations Management (CRM) group.

In this expose’ O’Keefe walks through the ideological decisions made by the executives within Salesforce where they are deciding which companies they will remove from their platform of services.   Project Veritas was one of the companies removed.  WATCH:

Leaked Insider Tape Reveals Salesforce’s Plan to Deplatform ‘Broader Range’ of Customers

I’m not sure what CRM business Salesforce was doing for Project Veritas but it likely has to do with organizing contact networks from the Veritas donor base.  In the era of deplatforming and political targeting this is another example of the importance to protecting the privacy of your “customers, subscribers and supporters.”

Note to the Rebel Alliance who keep asking why CTH is so stringent: Never, never, ever outsource or export user data for any reason…. ANY REASON….. EVER!

If Salesforce is willing to remove PV under the auspices of a “business decision”, one has to ask what their “legal team” would/could do with the internal data provided as a result of the relationship?  Potentially worrisome.

Nancy Pelosi’s planned Reichstag riot.

The former Capitol Police chief admitted to an AntiFa presence at the Capitol riot. Agent provocateurs in mind, who got a small group of dummy Trump supporters (as a percentage of the overall crowd) involved in the riot to enter the Capitol. Add that to video of what appears to be Capitol Police opening doors that could have been defended, so some of them were in on the planned riot to take attention off of massive election fraud.

Salesforce is a public company on the NYSE (symbol: CRM) and is a DJIA component, an S&P 100 component, and a S&P 500 component.

How does this not open them up to massive shareholder lawsuits? A responsible board would be replacing management.

Conservative/Republican organizations should be organizing lawfare immediately.
