PING!

An internet service provider (ISP) in the North Idaho and the Spokane, Washington, area has decided to block Facebook and Twitter for its customers after some called in to complain about censorship on the platforms.
The ISP, Your T1 WIFI, confirmed that it will block Facebook and Twitter from its WIFI service for some customers starting this Wednesday, according to a report by KREM 2.
The move comes after Twitter permanently banned President Donald Trump from its platform, and Facebook locked the president out of his account “indefinitely.”
“It has come to our attention that Twitter and Facebook are engaged in censorship of our customers and information,” reads an email to Your T1 WIFI customers.
The ISP added that it has been receiving calls from customers about Facebook and Twitter.
“We have the past couple days been fielding calls from customers voicing the concern that they do not want these sites allowed to be displayed on their internet feed to them and that they do not want their children to go to these sites,” the email continues.
The ISP explained that because there are too many customers asking for the sites to be blocked, it will be blocking Facebook and Twitter for all customers unless they reach out to the company to request access.
“There are too many people that have called for us to do one [customer] at a time so we will be blocking [Facebook and Twitter] and any other website that may also be censoring,” the email reads.
The company says that two-thirds of its customers asked for the sites to be blocked.
The ISP further explained that it does not condone Facebook and Twitter — as well as other big tech companies — censoring users or “trying to exterminate the competition,” such as Parler.

What’s good for the goose....
Ha!
Interesting. Red zone. Is it the right thing to do or local pandering?
I like it! Just emailed my ISP about doing the same thing. It’s a small thing, sure, but it’s a thing. And now I wonder... if the ISP blocks the site, would it also be able to block the tracking cookies before they reach users?
PING!
Great
Outstanding.
Good! Fight back!
Amazon has a distribution center in Spokane. Terrible shame if that were closed down.
This is the best thing I have ever seen. More please.
I wonder how long it will take for Facebook and Twitter to complain about Your T1 WIFI (an Idaho and Spokane Washington Internet Service Provider) blocking them. Would they even dare to complain with them blocking Trump? As far as I know, the ISP doesn’t have a contract with Facebook and Twitter so they shouldn’t complain.
BRAVO!
What an idea! I’ll request Cox to block the high tech censors.
Awesome...Trump Greatest President in my life time along with Ronald Reagan.
God bless him and keep him and us safe.
God loves you Patriots.
I a thinking about trolling FB by starting a series of cryptic post in what appear to be some type of code. Sort of like Q stuff but that sounds more sinister. I just want to see if I get permanently banned rather than just sitting.
I hope they go out of business. They are in the I T business. Information Technology and they want to block information.
Some good news, maybe we can pressure others to do the same?
Could you please explain how you did so? I would like to do the same but am computer illiterate. Thanks in advance.
