I believe communications companies must serve everyone who sits at their lunch counter. Censorship is dangerous regardless if it is done by Government or "Big Tech". (which nowadays is just an arm of the government anyways.)

FB is boring when they get to choose what should be featured and what should be omitted. A cornerstone of a free people is to have the ability to read all viewpoints and draw conclusions on our own.

Big tech in many cases was created and supported by the DNC with the help of Goldman Sachs.

The intent was control, cash flow, distribution back to the DNC. It’s been an almost flawless operation. Folks are only now seeing how dangerous this is. The DNC has come very close to owning almost the entire us mega cap market of publicly traded companies. In effect, socialism.

Our hope is through small business, not DNC owned wall street.

It is no coincidence that all these leftist techies are purging conservatives just in the last months before the mid-terms. It is a coordinated effort and a strategic calculation that, even if Congress or the courts step in, nothing can be done until after the elections. Even if the techies lose the throttling of conservative voices in the run-up to the mid-terms will have been accomplished.

BIG TECHS ARE PUBLICLY-HELD COMPANIES, WITH DUTIES TO INVESTORS, AND GOVERNED BY THE SEC:

Did Big Tech companies misrepresent themselves to investors?
Taking money under false pretenses and falsifying corporate documents is a crime.

The SEC should be notified.

Contact ENFORCEMENT@SEC.gov.

Tell your Liberal friends that Democrats support anti Jew hate speech. Just before the election, that should cure their fake self righteous anger. Some Dems may just stay away from the polls.

Before each election Democrats censor with their slander & hatred. Throw it back at them because they are conformists. That will conflict them and some will walkaway.

Yes, everyone has expanded the concept of discrimination to include everything. I think this puts big tech in a corner. They are public forums according to a judge in Trump's case, so they need to act like one and accept anything this is legal so long as it meets the bigger community standards. They pick and choose, that is discrimination pure and simple.

They either allow all religious-related discussion or none, for example. To choose is to discriminate.

mewe.com (like fb)
gab.ai (like twitter)
bitchute.com (like youtube)
real.video (like youtube)

gab ain’t all that great. Very high maintenance to avoid seeing crapola.

mewe.com looks to be pretty durn good. The founder even quotes the Bill of Rights and calls our country “our great Republic”. Here’s his Independence Day post;


Independence Day - yea!!! I’m lucky - I didn’t have to fight in a war for our freedoms and rights, but my Dad did. As have so many of us and our parents, grandparents, other relatives, friends, ancestors, etc.

The United States Constitution of our great republic was written and ratified several years after the Declaration of Independence. The Fourth Amendment states “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

Yet somehow we are not secure today in our privacy rights - and the violators are both the government and private companies like Facebook, Google, etc. Private companies spying on us in the heartland of democracy! How could this have happened? What can we do?

How this happened is a true story of relentless lies by new media companies like the aforementioned duo, bending all the rules to maximum profits by spying on and selling information about you and me. How we let it happen is understandable - we couldn’t see the creeps looking over our shoulder because indeed they were invisible.

Today we know better! Protecting our privacy is our inalienable right! As good, law abiding citizens, just because we search an issue online or post something personal to our friends does not give any company or government or school or employer the right to know about it!

Friends, it is July 4th in America. Let’s celebrate the free market economy and our right to choose!

#WeChooseMeWe

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!


Just scanning through “Groups” and 90% or more are conservative - pro-trump - pro 2nd etc. They’ve also got Groups for Hannity, Breitbart etc and even, yes, Q
