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.

Prior to last year’s election I was actively forecasting that social media and big media giants like Google would absolutely cancel any and all conservatives. Not just ban them but delete your Google accounts, your Facebook accounts and simply cancel and delete you.
However they did not have to resort to that they as simply manipulated voting results and declared Biden the winner despite clear evidence otherwise.
> if ICANN shuts down your right to use your domain name as a top level Domain you are screwed. You will be done.
no ... you just need to circumvent traditional domain names
many years ago, there were guys challenging the ONE global domain name system.
it is still easy to configure your computers to use alternate root servers
we’ll think of something.
You can't vote GOOGLE FB, Twitter etc. out of your life now. You can only stop using them...But you're hopelessly hooked.
Maybe my BlackBerry Classics will be viable. Unlike Hillary, I haven’t smashed mine with a hammer.
So many new and interesting ways CWII could start.
They really oughtn’t.
They’ll lose. They just don’t understand. Which makes them quite dangerous.
Corporate globalists (bankers, the elite, call them what you will) control the governments and NGOs. Politicians are mere puppets of the corporate elite.
Really, who has the power? Google, Facebook, Twitter appoint the politicians. They can rig their programs to swing elections. The politicians, including Biden and Harris, answer to their corporate masters. Not the other way around.
It's a perfect setup for the corporate elite. It's better to rule from behind the scenes than from the podium. When the people get mad, they get mad at the politicians. Then come next election, the corporate elite can replace the current politicians with a new set of politicians. Fresh faces promising "change," but same old policies.
True that. Even old 4G smart phones are going to be obsolete.
Are we living that movie? (ha, that was rhetorical)
Or we’ve jumped ahead 91 years.
“We’ve taken care of everything
The words you read
The songs you sing
The pictures that give pleasure to your eyes
It’s one for all and all for one
We work together, common sons
Never need to wonder how or why.”
BBSs (Bulletin Board Systems), dial-up phone modems, landlines . . .
“And enter Free Republic....”
As I recall, FR leases bandwidth.
I don’t know about SIGNAL, I’ve heard of it...but there’s also Telegram which I do use. Point to point encryption, I hear governments hate it....although I believe it is made by some Russian folks, so I only use it to get information from channels on it - rarely actually send anything.
I think they’re similar.
Conservatives are naive if they think they can be safe in some remote corner of the internet. The Left is just herding them into obscure areas. Less mainstream exposure. And they’ll be shut down when the Left decides it’s time.
I did get a set of walkie-talkies, went through all the channels and didn’t hear any activity. We need a Freeper code language!
We can have some fun here but this is truly getting real...
We’ll be sending snail mail with IP addresses...
When they censored all mention of the haunted Biden laptop the mask was off. They could claim public interest in censoring certain COVID info but there was no credible argument to censor the hunter biden story except it hurt democrats
Whenever they say they want to .....they already are doing.
Why are we worried about Facebook -- which no Freeper should be using to being with; when banned-on-Facebook-oh-noes-lets-post-it-straight-to-FreeRepublic is turning this site into FRacebook.
Do you not think Zuckerberg and his weaponized autism studied this beforehand? That mixing serious constitutional conservatism into the FB ban pool with full-blown social media retards would sour the apple bin on. the. very. few. other. sites. dedicated. to. constitutional. conservatism?!?!
We have longtime Freepers who have completely gone over the edge (since Nov. 2020 / Jan. 2021) on every hot topic and the singular common link is: "Banned-On-FaceTwitTikTokogram".
It's a totem, nay, a fetish among these FRabble to specifically post and then have their comrades pinged to these facile, sophomoric, insipid, garbage posts to produce long, drawn-out threads that are specifically meant to reduce everyone involved to ad hominem.
"That other site" is playing a huge role in fomenting these attacks.
There are bigger sites than FR that were quickly reduced to rubble by the failure to identify and counter such attacks, and this appears to be a concerted effort to ruin an important aggregate news site by making the content absolutely unreliable.
“The common good” - the most evil words you can ever hear. The antithesis of individual rights.
