Within 24 hours, my @YouTube channel has received two community guidelines strikes - likely as a result of a mass flagging campaign - and is now on the verge of total deletion. Please respectfully contact @TeamYouTube and alert them to this injustice.
"Thanks for letting us know, we’ll try to get more info and let you know what we find out."
Paul Joseph Watson is next.
Translation: “Don’t hold your breath.”
Yep. Mass flagging effort. B@stards!
That interview with Jack Dorsey is chilling.
Thanks to the “They are private companies and can do what they want” F**** Idiots, finding a Conservative/Nationalist on the Internet in 2020, will be like finding Gold in a sewer.
Stephan is one of those I’m having trouble sympathizing with. He’s a former tech executive, how has he not connected with others on the right existing at the mercy of “Big Tech” and come together on an alternative, better platform? It’s been obvious that this was coming for quite some time . . .
I'm looking for a word for a concept that is becoming more important by the day; but I don't think anyone's coined it yet. This word would relate to "libertarian" in the same way that "cuckservative" relates to "conservative."
‘Thanks to the “They are private companies and can do what they want” F**** Idiots’
Yeah, how dare they actually advocate for capitalism and against state control of private enterprise. The bastards! The only way to beat fascists is to be fascists ourselves!!!
Big Tech is fundamentally monopolistic (network effect) and there’s no breaking that without serious cash investment to overthrow the current monopoly. Censorship is occurring at the Internet infrastructure level as well - domain names and cloud providers. It really requires government regulation, like the telephone companies of old.
The early Internet didn’t have this problem, it was built on open protocols. But things have evolved away from that paradigm.
I don’t think “regulation” is necessary. We just need to clarify that any company that maintains a “platform” (thus not liable for content) as opposed to being a “publisher” (liable for content) cannot censor content on their platform except to remove illegal content. The SCOTUS addressed much the same question in Marsh v. Alabama, where they found that a company that owned an entire town had to respect the same restrictions on its ability to police the content of speech in the public square as a similarly-situated government would.
That said, maybe I’m guilty of just pointing a finger at what others should do, but there are right-leaning content creators across social media with millions of followers collectively from POTUS on down, and it’s obvious that the left is using its influence over Big Tech to censor those creators. Surely, there are people on the right with the technological savvy and financial capital to get together and come up with a viable alternative. Yes, there are “network effects”, that’s why having 101 different alternative options doesn’t work, we need just one, with all the creators and all of the capital. Fox News essentially did the same thing for cable news a couple of decades ago. As much as we might criticize it, imagine the last 20 years without it?
Could be this garbage tweet (3:07 PM yesterday):
The most dangerous white nationalists brainwashing us are not always people like Richard Spencer or David Duke. Those who mask their intentions behind “pseudo-philosophy, race realism, misogyny, and skepticism,” like @StefanMolyneux, @SamHarrisOrg, and @JordanBPeterson are worse.

104.7 in Pittsburgh was a Conservative talk powerhouse.
Jim Quinn, Glenn Beck(when he was sane), Rush, Hannity, maybe Mark Levin.
Clear Channel, I think, hired Tom Daschle's son as "political director" and that was the end.
Format was changed to pop/bro country and Conservative Talk was dumped.
104.7 went from the top station in the 'Burgh to an big nothing competing against at least 2 other stations.
Most of the shows ended up on a crummy AM station that you can get in the day and never at night.
Because the one of the Right’s strengths, is also its biggest weakness. Too much rugged individualism, when sometimes working collectively is for the better.
Not all collectivism is Fascism.
When the control of the internet was given away without legislation we were warned this could happen.
Ah yes, Chris Picciolini, the former Neo Nazi skinhead from Blue Island who now makes the rounds as an “anti-Racist” crusader.
The German Nazis used to get their most fervent recruits from the ex-Communists, I guess the American Communists are learning that lesson and getting their recruits from the ex-Neo Nazis.
No, but those on the left who are advocating for government control of the internet are certainly advocating a form of fascism, as are those on the right who advocate for the same thing under a different name.
When O’Vomit gave away the keys to the Internet, we knew it was going to happen. We are now subject to non-U.S. censorship authorities.
I wonder if POTUS could ever regain U.S. Internet control? I guess it doesn’t matter when the high tech industries and corporations rule over us anyway.
Discovered yesterday that the guy on Youtube who uploaded The Savage Nation shows daily is gone and so are all the shows he uploaded . At the moment no one else is uploading new shows . Damn ...
“No, but those on the left who are advocating for government control of the internet are certainly advocating a form of fascism, as are those on the right who advocate for the same thing under a different name.”
Nobody is arguing for government control of the Internet. Patriots are arguing for the unfettered flow of free speech, without hindrance or let, across the Internet medium, which was paid for and developed by the US government, also known as taxpayers.
Do you believe that AT&T, a private company, can shut down your phone service if you call your mom and tell her that you think Trump is a good president?
