GLENN GREENWALD: Since Alex Jones was deplatformed 4 years ago almost no dissent on the internet is now allowed

twitter ^ | Aug 11 | Glenn Greenwald

Alex Jones, with his odd and nutty delivery, has still been right more than wrong and he called out the technocracy long before anyone else. These giants are so entrenched, extremely wealthy and extremely intertwined with our government, it will be very hard to remove their control grid.

When you control mass communications of public speech, you cannot help but attract covert interest from the government which will be eager to use "private" control as a platform for government censorship.

[Theoria]

Alex went on to create his own ways of communicating. Even on FR, there is censorship. Which is Jim's right. He owns the platform. Eventually, private property will be destroyed because people think they have free speech on someones platform or property.

Yeah I know it’s a moderated forum but better than anything else in my opinion.

Can’t stand Facebook and most of the others.

I do like twitter though have friends/colleagues there and like the platform.

When you control mass communications of public speech...

But none of these tech companies do. They each have a slice of a very big pie and only control that slice.

Don’t forget Twatter suspended a sitting US President. They should be dissolved on that one alone.

[RandFan]

I know boomer but it’s so damn addictive and useful..

Just dont get into politics. Swarms of liberals descend on you.

I talk politics HERE only :D

Funny old world....

Yep, Vox Day has been disappeared, probably over his recent string of anti-vax articles, but is still visible on Wayback Machine

Love it Grace. I have saved a copy if you dont mind!

[Enlightened1]

They banned a sitting President of the United States.

So why is anyone surprise?

Nat Hentoff was the last honest leftist prior to these two.
