Joe Biden’s White House is saying the quiet part out loud now. Press Secretary Jen Psaki admitted last week that, in an effort to crack down on COVID-19 “misinformation,” the Biden administration has been sending Facebook lists of topics they want to be censored. They’re not even trying to hide it anymore. Throughout the pandemic, we’ve seen aggressive, unprecedented efforts by Big-Tech giants and their Democrat partners to silence anything that goes against the Official Narrative—whether it’s information on masking, treatments like ivermectin, the efficacy and safety of vaccines, or the election. Our overlords in the COVID-MSM Government-Industrial Complex have used the pandemic as a weapon to bludgeon Trump and disparage his supporters. They’ve put the health of millions of Americans at risk by politicizing the pandemic and only allowing us to see information approved by politicized bureaucrats and their flacks in the left-wing media. One of the main reasons we launched our VIP subscription program a little over a year ago was so we could bypass the censors and tell the truth about topics that the social media giants and left-wing politicians have declared verboten.

Clearly this makes FB et al agents of the gubermint and an illegal end run around the 1st Amendment. Who has standing to sue? I’m picturing an 80 million member class action.

It’s coming...Obama gave control of the internet away. They want to monitor phone texts. Big tech will do their filtering. Banks will discriminate against those on ‘lists’. They’re planning complete and total control, making it near impossible to organize outside of them knowing. The tyrannical hammer is going to come down hard and soon. It’s an inevitability imo. Yes, it can happen here. LEO’s will be destroyed if they don’t comply.

We’re all headed toward the dark web. It’ll be the only hiding spot.

And that is the problem. As long as it is open to the general public the evidence can and will be used against us and the domain. Something is wrong here if this fact is not obvious.

There are HUGE legal advantages to having a “Private Organization”. Where internal content is protected. Folks are self censoring because it is open to the public and hampering their own free speech. Those who do not are absolute fools.

This is coming for real, We are not in Kansas anymore... Time to adapt to the new “environment”. Why it is sill open I have no clue. It endangers both the domain, and all the members. In the end it will reduce donation revenue.

Actually, I could see this driving things back to flip phones and the printing press....

And "covid lockdowns"? Excuse to keep people from gathering.

One would think a conservative’s fav websites would be smart enough to do a quick name change and be back up asap.

Conservatives should just build their own internet. Unless of course the government refuses to allow them to do it.

Speak for yourself, I’ve still got a landline and a 56k modem. Time to set up a MAGA BBS!

No no no no no! These are PRIVATE companies deciding to do this for themselves, and they are fully protected by the first amendment to censor all communications traffic that goes through their servers.

They are not at all puppets with a government hand shoved up their backsides!

BBS! Now THERE’s a blast from the past. FR used to operate as a BBS before it migrated to the web.

That is exactly right. You can own your own server in your living room. But if ICANN shuts down your right to use your domain name as a top level Domain you are screwed. You will be done.

If you find your “favorite” website has vanished, you can expect that very soon every listed website supporter will be back together again in a luxurious reeducation camp getting appropriately wokified...

Of course that’s only the ones that are still above ground...
The rest, judging by communist history, will be comfortably located in deep trenches throughout the many national forests/parks...

While the communist purges in china and the soviet union each resulted in 100,000,000 deaths, that will be far surpassed here in the USSA over the next 5-10 years...

Neither the chicoms or soviets ever had anything close to the detailed precise information on it citizens or the real-time surveillance of its citizens that the communists ruling the USSA have now...
