Dave Rubin on Big Tech Censorship: ‘2021 Will Be the Year of the Bannings’
Breitbart ^ | December 23 2020 | ROBERT KRAYCHIK

Posted on 12/24/2020 1:17:15 AM PST by knighthawk

If Democrats seize control of the White House and Senate, Big Tech’s political censorship will worsen, forecasted Dave Rubin, host of the Rubin Report, in an interview with Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow on Sunday at Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit in West Palm Beach, FL.

“The ship has sailed with Big Tech,” maintained Rubin. “If Biden gets in, and especially if [Democrats] have the Senate — Trump was the last thing that was stopping Big Tech from lowering the boom — but I think 2021 will be the year of the bannings. It’ll be soft bannings at first. It’ll be more algorithmic depressions, deboosting. shadowbanning, that sort of thing, but then they’ll start picking people off.”

We should probably ask for lessons from the iranians and chinese about the work arounds. Or we could go back to the grand fays of America when we met in churches for news.

Big tech can be a difficult target to ‘influence’, but it makes its money through advertising, and the advertisers are easy targets.

75,000,000 pissed of suspects...

I know who wins.

My thoughts on FACEBOOK JAIL AGAIN So commenting on a post or communicating with someone on my page when it “violates community standards” meant another 30 day lock up in FB jail!

Why? - Because our Constitutional freedom of speech is now monitored and controlled by these social media giants: Facebook, Twitter, and Google and they believe they have the right to indoctrinate, manipulate and control the actions of every human being in America and eventually the world! These social networks work hard to become the only speech platforms for people to use for communication and then they believe they have the right to control every word you say…..and to shut you up if they don't like your thoughts!

They have an agenda for the future and we have no right to speak up or oppose it?

Can you imagine the day they take over Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T…… your phone services? And suddenly block you from using your phone to speak your mind because they're monitoring your calls and didn't like something you said in a conversation? That's what they're doing now on their social media pages. It's time to contact our Senators and Representatives and start the legal challenges to this!

Nov 2020 - Facebook jail once again for expressing my opinion on a story....
“Planned voter fraud is treason against America and against the president of the United States. And people who are involved in it when the truth comes out should be executed in public squares!!”

Apparently they didn’t like the last sentence. Well to bad! I believe most patriotic American citizens would agree with me. What we’re seeing go on in our nation right now with this voter fraud being revealed is extremely dangerous to our republic of law and order.

Many people who have taken time to witness and investigate the elections are filing affidavits to the courts listing their stories and presenting the evidence they have gathered. And they have sworn to the truth and signed their notices under penalty of felony prison time…… They are honest concerned Americans!

Regarding my Face Book position now, I have stated it before…… These social media platforms; Face Book, Twitter, Google, are trying to become the only stage of speaking that we will have and because their beliefs in the Socialist NWO do not support our rights to express our opinions they feel they have the right to control and hamper our freedom of speech.

They have proven their ideals in hearings in our government...that they are liars and controllers!

Forget Fakebook and twatter etc. It will be down to the ISP level, you will be denied root level access to the internet. One can buy your own servers to host your site, but if you cannot connect them to the web, it is of zero value. ICANN will refuse to issue domain names, and the local service provider will refuse to connect because you are violating their “terms of service”.

That’s

I listened to an interesting argument on a podcast I enjoy that suggested these social media sites never wanted to get into the censorship game and only did so after liberal journalists started demanding it. And once they started with a few accounts, it snowballed from there.

Twitter is going to face a dilemma on the day that Donald Trump is no longer president. Immediately, there will be an outcry from the left to suspend his Twitter account. Jack Dorsey isn't stupid. He knows that if he bans Trump, Donald Trump will simply go elsewhere and take millions of people with him. He also suspects that post-Trump Twitter is about to get really boring. The MSM is already bracing for a massive drop-off in interest. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris don't really tweet much and when they do, it's often some lukewarm official statement that is of interest to nobody. They also benefit from a sycophant media that will not report anything scandalous or embarrassing.

I'll be curious if he Dorsey goes this route and ruins his own website or, sometimes I think, social media might just quietly unsuspend all the accounts they've suspended over these past four years that they never really wanted to suspend to begin with.

Yup. I was never on FaceLESS Book until they locked us down and closed our church. We went on faceLESS book so that we could put our services on line. We are a small church, 140 folks or so, and don't have a big web site. We put our money in other things than web sites. But, we started using that mob so we could send our our services live to those shut down. We actually had a larger viewership on the web than we had in actual attendance on Sundays. Ain't GOD great!!! He uses the stupidity of man's follies to get His Message out to the masses. Every week our attendance on the web was larger on Sundays. Then all week, the numbers grew as others watched. Many of us watched more than once, so that inflated the numbers a bit, BUT it is BETTER because you cannot go back and REHEAR the sermon you heard in person on Sunday morning. So, GOD has been using the lockdown to put out the WORD!!! We are back in person now, but attendance is only half of what it was. Many still afraid to come back. We are an old church in peoples ages, so a lot with other medical conditions to worry about the ChinaVirus along with those. But, at least they have the faceLESS book to watch. We are afraid they will shut down our voice once the Marxist's are in rule and have no one to stop their communism movement. That is okay. GOD is WAY AHEAD of them. His WORD will still get out to the masses.

To Believers out there, please add our pastor to your prayer list. He had a triple bypass last week. Came home after four days. Doing great. But, he is over 72 and it is going to take some recovery time. We are lucky as we have a couple of retired pastors in our congregation to help fill in while he is sidelined!! Thanks. GOD bless all here.
