Rein in abusive Big Tech republic
The New York Post ^ | January 10, 2021 | Will Chamberlain

Posted on 01/11/2021 8:04:38 PM PST by TChad

In the aftermath of Wednesday’s Capitol riot, Big Tech went nuclear.

Most prominently, Facebook and Twitter suspended President Trump’s accounts on their platforms: Facebook’s suspension will last though the president’s remaining time in office, while Twitter’s ban is permanent.

Trump was not the only prominent conservative figure suspended: former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn and his lawyer Sidney Powell were also banned from Twitter.

Naturally, focus shifted to Parler, the most prominent of the “free-speech” alternatives to Facebook and Twitter. After President Trump’s suspensions, traffic to the site soared; consequently, left-wing activists demanded that Google and Apple pull Parler from their app stores. Apple and Google quickly complied. Amazon, too, joined Parler’s auto-da-fé, denying Parler access to Amazon Web Services.

Many of big techs executives and employees are immigrants or on work permits from China and India. Most of them came from privlidged, elitist well connected families. They are not accustomed to people speaking freely, engaging in politics hostile to their opinions or exercising their freedom. There is no question that they now have power and are exercising it. They inherently know nothing of American liberties, free speech, creativity or patriotism. Nor have they ever experienced and will have no capacity to understand the coming backlash that will hold them accountable for their vile actions. They are of course aided by native American globalist traitors who share their haughty, vile elitism. These are churning dark times However the idenity of these scoundrels should be carefully documented as well as those in these “wok” corporations who are colluding to deny Americans their most cherished rights.

“Now Parler has been deplatformed.”

I’ll bet that conservatives have their share of kids in pajamas inventing nasty little viruses. It would be a real shame if some of these big name outfits suddenly had a rash of viruses infecting their computers. I’d cry big tears.

And many, including the Free Traitor from Texas that loves guns brought this trash here instead of hiring Americans, as he felt Americans are just unqualified, lazy and worthless.

Trump waited far to late to restrict this foreign trash from working in the US. One of his pre-2016 campaign promises was to remove this trash. They are not and never will be Americans. Their love for their own socialist/Communist cultures in India and Communist China is something you can never get rid of.

Indians now control big tech and big tech now controls America. We could have nipped this in the bud years or decades ago. But hey, cheap labor, and import millions more that despise everything about the US

Sorry, but this is simply untrue. White American liberals control big tech. Sundar Pichai may be the Indian-born CEO of Google, but he answers to Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the white liberal founders. Tim Cook, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Jack Dorsey - all of them are white liberals.

Trying to point the finger at anyone but white liberals for the situation we're in is dishonest. White liberals stole the election, white liberals run Antifa and BLM, and white liberals are responsible for the BigTech Iron Curtain currently descending over America.

I certainly understand the desire to strike back in underhanded ways, however I think it counterproductive. For the following reasons:

1) If the viruses are effective enough to actually hurt Big Tech, then they will certainly cause some innocent victims harm in collateral damage.

In this case maybe Big Tech is set back again, but they gain major propaganda points and can have a field day demonizing the hackers.

2) If the virus is not effective, then it does us no good, but still gives some propaganda ammo to Big Tech about the evil right wing hackers trying to harm the nations computer infrastructure etc.

3) Depending on one's religion/philosophy it may be immoral whether or not it does help one's political cause. Such as Jesus saying to turn the other cheek.

Overall, we are better staying determined but smart. Let Big Tech continue to be complete a-holes where everyone can see it. They will lose credibility, and they will be more and more likely to get their butts sued under the Sherman act etc. Crticize them certainly, but do not do anything they can use for propaganda against us. Keep our hands clean to be a stark contrast to their filthy hands.
