Big tech censorship is out of control and it's getting Orwellian.
It happened in a hurry. The Left is, apparently, attempting to impose the complete destruction of First Amendment rights of roughly half of America’s citizens. In cases large and small, massive multinational corporations with no particular allegiance to the United States are colluding with members of the media and Democratic politicians to permanently silence dissent and cement their own power.
To wit: LeeAnn Miller founded PatrioticMe, an online retailer that sells patriotic clothing items, in September of last year. The business advertised on Facebook and was quite successful from the outset. She donates a portion of every sale to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, a charity founded to honor the sacrifice of New York City firefighter Stephen Siller, who gave his life to save others as a first responder on Sept. 11, 2001. But, on Nov. 4, 2020, the day after the presidential election, she received an email from the Facebook Ads Team informing her that her advertisements did not comply with Facebook's advertising policies or other standards. The subject line of the email stated: "Ad Account Disabled for Policy Violation.” She was stunned.
She assumed the advertisements were disabled in error, so she immediately contacted Facebook and requested a review of her account. She received a second email saying virtually the same thing. After two more requests for a review or explanation, the Facebook Ads Team sent Miller a final notice on Nov. 24 telling her that her restricted account would not be re-enabled. Miller says that she was never able to speak with a live human being. Facebook’s decision has resulted in PatrioticMe losing 94% of its traffic. She believes her ad account was disabled simply because of her products’ patriotic message.

Businesses which employ people with weird hairstyles do not risk Antifa showing up at their storefront or lobby.
This will be the approach: anyone doxxed as being a conservative will have calls and emails sent to their employers, asking why they keep racist extremists on the payroll. Businesses which do not terminate the targeted people may experience a visit by Antifa.
Immediately following Biden’s inauguration I will begin wearing a red star, in alliance with the Jews in 1930 Germany and Trumpians in 2021 USA.
“They want an explosion.”
They think we’ll stand out there and slug it out with antifa goons. They don’t think we will instead, come directly for those at fault. Pols, judges, bureaucrats, media execs, those are the ones who would explode.
This kind of control, well, exercising this kind of control and coercing compliance by instilling fear... These are things they have always wanted to do. Recent events, manufactured and “enhanced” by a few key players have given them an excuse. They saw the utter lawlessness under 8 years of bammy’s occupation. They are no-doubt looking forward to at least 4 years of the same or more under Biden/Harris’s obviously illegal administration. This isn’t over, they are just getting started. If FR, Parler, and similar sites are still operating in 4 years I’ll be more than a little surprised.

People won’t understand unless it is yellow.
Many of the Japanese, back then, were also spies.
That is a great idea!
things get really out of hand. Anger is already simmering, they put a cover on the just won’t see it until it boils over.

Not boil over. This is a pressure cooker and the pressure relief valve is broken shut....
Justice for Black Farmers Act 2020
Under the bill, up to 32 million acres would move to Black ownership over a decade — nearly seven times the 4.7 million acres now in Black farms. A new USDA agency, the Equitable Land Access Service, would administer the program. The USDA would buy land from willing sellers at fair market value for use in the program. Up to 20,000 grants* of 160 acres would be made annually through 2030. Recipients would be new or experienced Black farmers. Beginning farmers would be required to complete a training program.

Debbie Stabenow, Senate Ag Committee chair, put Racial Justice as her number one priority.
What am I to deduct from this? History Repeating or merely mirroring Zimbabwe.
I’m going to buy as much as I can from Walmart rather than AMZ. Walmart has a 5% off credit card, too. I know, Walmart has CCP ties - but they’re not censoring.
Walmart was going to be my amazon replacement.
But they just joined the others, and are now blocking political donations to any representative who challenged the fraudulent electoral vote count.
Gotta take it down a step further, to the local mom and pop shops, if there are any left.
I am certain our gov agencies either CIA or FBI or others are watching this site very closely looking for seditious content.
This all makes me worse than sick. I’ve already left Twitter, Facebook, etc.
They fail to grasp the implications of removing all peaceful means of dissent.
“this is a communist take over of the USA”

Orwell was only off by 37 years.
“What am I to deduct from this? History Repeating or merely mirroring Zimbabwe.”
Based on what you wrote, this appears to be patently unconstitutional. Also, I’d have to understand what is defined as FMV and a “willing seller”. Looks like we’ve left the good old USA and didn’t need a passport.
What we need is a class-action lawsuit against twitter and facebook by a group of people whose property was damaged, were injured, and family members of those killed by BLM/antifa, arguing that those platforms allowed the groups to communicate and organize on those platforms without restriction. That will put 230 protections squarely in the firing line, and since the platforms already apply editorial standards (censoring conservatives), it necessarily follows that they are out of compliance and is therefore liable for the damages caused by those groups.
