“They are doing everything they can to block them. “
Yet the Internet remains free and open to any publisher willing to pay their own freight.
So we shouldn’t scream at the top of our lungs like they do because we are too refined?
No, no, no! Zuckerberg, Bezos, and Google controls everything! Look! Google doesn't have a flag on their page for Memorial Day!
Even Steve Bannon, of all people, wanted the tech companies to be regulated as utilities. Give me a break. If conservatives can't take the time to learn coding, scrounge up some investors, and create a conservative vision of FB then they're not conservatives. Free Republic has been around for 22 years and it is the forerunner of social media today.
For how long? I'm no fan of Alex Jones. I think he's complete full-on batshit crazy and a whack job who's said some of the most offensive things I've ever heard (9-11 was an inside job and Sandy Hook never happened, they're all crisis actors.)
And yet, this was a coordinated attack by Google/YouTube, Apple, FascistBook etc.. to try and silence him. It backfired, they failed (as they shoud have) and Alex Jones not only kept his audience, he expanded it.
Alex Jones can easily be taken down. Remove him from DNS. Major ISP's can block him at the National POP's and stop carrying his traffic. It's not difficult to do, I know because I was an ISP in the 90's. All it takes is coordination (some would call that COLLUSION) and Google/YouTube, Apple, Fascistbook, etc.. showed the rest of the tech industry just how to do it.
FCC Chairman Ajit Pai Warned that Big Tech ‘Edge Providers’ Are the Censors, Not ISPs and he was exactly correct. We're seeing that happen today.
Alex Jones is the warning shot. It won't be long before EVERY dissenting voice on the Internet that's not progressive left is silenced.
We need an alternative to the Internet. An Alternate DNS for starters that won't filter for political bias.
Real good move. Now EVERYBODY knows who Alex Jones is. The lollipop kids have made him a star.
