All the left has to do is post fake conservative hate and threats to help Twitter and Apple etc. say, "Tsk Tsk Tsk. Gonna Have to censor you!" Actually, those posts probably come from Apple staff.

Very Toxic images at link - I didn't copy them over because I didn't want FR accused of hosting the same "hate speech".

If anyone doesn’t think this was all planned over the last 4 years, I’ve got some swampland I’d like to sell you.

Conservatives are going to be outright silenced by every media and tech outlet. They’ve mastered election fraud. Now it’s time to silence dissent.

We are no longer a representative republic.

Covid was also planned and timed accordingly.

The internet and the cheap, powerful devices that most of us have to communicate on it, have changed the way society and politics functions to the point that I personally think rules about its use need to be added to the constitution.

So what? It's not like you can't get it elsewhere.

I hear it sucks anyway.

This is concerning...
Mozilla, developers of Firefox: 'We need more than deplatforming'

I would not put it past Mozilla to start modding their browser to restrict one from going to conservative sites. Same thing with Google and Chrome.

Mozilla constitutes less than 10% of the browsers used around the world. Google’s Chrome is the king. Mozilla is very small potatoes.

Yes it was planned. Yesterday was social media black Friday.

• Trump was banned from Twitter
• Twitter banned a host of Trump supporters
• Google removed the Parler app from its store
• Apple started the procedure to remove Parler from its store
• Gab was unavailable all day Friday (seems to be due to a denial of service attack)

All on the same day—a Friday no less.

Yes, it was planned.

You need to be computer literate to enjoy it.

Sure, but the same concern... How long do you think before Google Chrome gets the notion to prevent you from viewing "hate" videos on Rumble that were banned on Google's Youtube.

Microsoft has been conspicuously absent from all of the BS. Perhaps try using the new Chromium-based Edge? Not saying MS won’t go stupid, but for now, they’re remaining out of the fray.

The point here is that Apple is demanding they violate the spirit of 230 compliance.

I don’t have an APP for FR. Somehow I found it.
Is there a FR APP?

I actually have multiple browsers installed for testing web sites. We know that domain registration services have deplatformed people and hosting sites have as well. There's even rumors that Amazon AWS will deplatform Parler.

Amazon employees call for company to cut ties with Parler after deadly U.S. Capitol riot

I think conservatives are going to need an entire conservative internet ecosystem from DNS providers on up before long. :-(

My solution: Nationalize GOOG, FB, TWTR, PYPL and make them part of the Post Office.

Also, establish Post Office banking. Since the financial institutions will expand their discrimination against conservatives as well.

Yeah, I know it’s socialism etc. But do conservatives face more discrimination / exclusion at the Post Office, or on Twitter ?

Also, taking away their companies will be a lesson to the rest of Silicon Valley not to politically abuse their power.

Or we could just go back to local communication, HAM radio, church. They can’t silence us until we’re dead. (And yes, I believe that’s part of the plan.)
