First of many, I’m sure.

Why did you cut it off? The blog doesn’t own what Twitter said.

**********

“Your account has been disabled for violating our terms,” the message said.

It did not say what specific violation occurred.

“Silicon Valley Big Tech firms, in pursuit of their totalitarian censorship regime, is coordinating elections on behalf of globalist candidates in federal election to save their favorite open-border, cheap labor, Trump hating Congresscritter, Justin Amash,” Norton told The Rundown News.

“This is a serious offense that goes to the core of how our elections are decided,” he continued. “Do we allow a few socialist-leaning billionaires in California to buy every election across America with their digital tools? Or do we hold them to account for their constant effort to purchase these election? The FEC needs to investigate at once. Whoever at Facebook and Instagram is allowing this censorship to move forward needs to be prosecuted with felony coordination.”

Instagram has banned many conservatives – including Laura Loomer – who is suing its parent company Facebook for $3 billion. Norton appears to be the first candidate running for office who has been banned. Even worse, he is running for federal office. Instagram is now directly meddling in statewide elections, without apparent recourse.

The tech giants are a blight and deserve to be broken up.

Gabbard topics have clearly been censored on Twitter as well. Yeah right that “Assad” (Harris’ lame retort) is trending but Gabbard’s smackdown of Harris ain’t.

I’d like to see a massive migration to MeWe.. it has most of the tools of Facebook and none of the jackbooted censorship.

The left make no sense. They say Trump isn’t allowed to block followers on Twitter yet they ban conservatives from their social media platforms. It’s insanity.

The headline is way, way outta line. He wasn’t banned from ‘social media.’ He was banned from Instagram.

Your correct comment in #1 should have been the headline.

Only the beginning as the social media gears up to throw the election to dems.

I had no idea F**kbook owned Instagram. Just another way where Dork Zuckerturd can get your personal information. So glad I never got involved in that crap. I do have a Fcaebook account but everything in it is fake. I even put down I live in the Republic of Congo

It is obvious election interference because they didn’t ban the individual’s account but the obvious congressional one.

Before the tech giants existed the newspapers did the exact same thing.....especially large nationally owned local newspapers like Gannett, etc......

Then it was the radio....then TV broadcasters.....

The elite telling the “little people” how to think and vote has gone on for millennia.....

Same story, different medium.....

What is needed is a decentralized social media. Someone needs to invent a social media that does what Bitcoin did to the monetary system and take out the centralized partisan controllers like Zuckerboy.

The FEC - federal election commission - should fine the tech companies for each act of banning a conservative that they do, calling each such act an unreported “in kind” political contribution.
