Freedom’s just another word for no twitter or Facebook account to ban
rintintin with apologies to Joplin’s famous song lyrics ^ | Jan 7 2020 | rintintin

Freedom’s just another word for no twitter or Facebook account to ban. In other words I don’t do social media accounts - I’m not on so they can’t kick me off.

Inspired by Janis Joplins song: Me and Bobby McGee

Wait until they come for Free Republic. You’ll be singing a different tune.

They were actually Kris Kristofferson’s words. He wrote it.

She recorded it first to show him how it’s done after they broke up.

Just wait til they ask your political persuasion before admitting you to a hospital for Covid.

I am ready to die from The Rona rather than live in Fauci's Medical Police State for the rest of my life.

I am good with the Lord.

In the past it was high on their hit last. It probably has so many infiltrators on here now that it has been neutralized. They just use it now to spread rumors and false information.

I have no Twitter and go on FB once or twice a year. My wife goes on FB to connect with friends and just read something about google and other sharing networks was going to slowing down and having trouble the next few days. Guessing they are getting ready for something. Gonna delete a lot of peoples accounts when they try to or impeach Trump. And when and if he declassifies everything and goes scorched earth. They are going to try to hide or slow info coming out and backlash on social media. They are going to try to control the whole internet.

Actually, Roger Miller (more famous for “King Of The Road”) recorded the first version, FWICS.

Joplin recorded it just a few days before she died.

Some people speculate that CIA and/or NSA is sponsor or somehow involved with these services - twitter, Facebook, etc. it would be a great tool for tacking and surveillance, and supervising and tailoring information flow among the population.

I have six FB accounts. I use them to play multiple teams in an online hockey league. I can’t imagine how dumb an advertiser has to be to spend money there. On different accounts I get ads tailored for 25 year-old men in Alaska and 70 year-old women ... and I don’t fit either description.

I never used it anyway, but I just deleted my Twitter account. But even if I did use it, I would have deleted it. Anyway, it’ll go into their stats as one more deleted account after they banned President Trump. Not much effect, I know, but it’s the only vote I have at this point.

I stand corrected.

I was repeating what I heard Kristofferson say in an interview.

Tried to quit Facebook/ WhatsApp. Unfortunately, they have a monopoly.
They absolutely own communications/ messaging outside the US.
Viber is an option, but no one uses it.

Twitter was easy to quit, unfortunately, many companies use it to pass information.

Parler and MeWe seen to be written by no-talent H1B Indian hacks who failed every course in UX.

Can’t quit Google as it’s now the corporate go-to place to store and share data (Google Drive)

Discord and Reddit are being cleared of Trump supporters and subreddits.

Basically attempting to purge the internet of opposing views to worldwide communism.
