The Deplatforming of A Nation State
Gab.com ^ | March 4, 2022 | Gab News

Posted on 03/05/2022 7:57:24 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

The entire nation state of Russia is getting the “Gab treatment” by Big Tech and the globalist regime.

By that I mean they are being systematically purged from the internet all within the span of about a week. 

Google is blocking their apps

Apple is blocking their apps. 

YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Telegram have banned or limited access to their accounts. 

Twitter has started “fact-checking” and reducing the reach of their links. 

YouTube has demonetized their videos

Reddit has “quarantined” the /r/russia community

Namecheap, a domain registrar, has cut off ALL Russian customers

American right wing dissidents are no strangers to any of these things. All of these tools of war have been used against us as American citizens for six years now. In Gab’s case we have been banned from both app stores, domain registrars, and big tech platforms for years. Now these same tools and tactics of war that have been developed and used against us as dissidents are being used against all of Russia. Other nation states should be paying attention to this. Are you going to continue to allow your citizens to be controlled entirely by a handful of companies in Silicon Valley, or is now perhaps the time to start building your own sovereign technology and infrastructure?

The globalists are giddy with the ability to exert this kind of control...

Yes, look how they crushed the Canadian truckers, and pleasured themselves on camera doing it.

“all Trumpsters tomorrow.”

That's for sure. And it won't stop then. Or ever.

This changes my outlook on the whole conflict. If they are treating Russia this way, I wonder who is the bad guy? And Ukraine has been a huge money laundering operation where politicians give them foreign aid and Ukraine kicks them back a percentage. When Biden told them to fire the prosecutor or they would not get the billion dollars it was basically a tip-off to Americans but our media don’t seem to care.

Would Russia nuke Silicon Valley? What would be the downside?

Wrong. It’s the Adolf Trump effect. I have’t seen such a coordinated, world wide ad hominem disinformation campaign since they did the same thing to DJT.

Of note, none of these apps are allowed in China. Russia will adapt domestic versions of the Chinese apps, and their own.

>>> I’ve been trying to find the Russian cease fire/ peace talks negotiating position. This information is being totally squelched.

The globalists are flexing their muscles in this situation.

This has always been about taking out Putin because he is a nationalist... just like Trump and Netenyahu.

All this global de-platforming stuff (even Visa/MC) is a real first.
We’ve never seen anything like it.

This is not Russia vs Ukraine, this is the last stand of nationalism vs globalism.

If the globalists/Soros win, the human race becomes their digital asset to dispose of as they please.

Would you expect anything else from the Left for which nothing of the old extreme Left is extreme to them anymore? Never mind that the Clintons were involved?

Exactly.

This shows how much power these entities have.

That power needs to be dialed back to zero.

They are not government agencies.

Congress makes the laws in this nation, federally. These
international tech firms should have no authority to do
this sort of thing.

While I don’t like what Putin has done, only our government
should be putting in place sanctions.

Some of this may be appropriate under U. S. law, like
banking. Other parts of it are just dress rehearsals for
when they come after us.

I don’t know that I’m a fan of Putib, but we certainly share the same enemies. Is he establishing himself as the political ivermectin?

How many tech leaders are there? Five, ten. What happens if Gates and Zuckerberg were assassinated this next week? How hard would it be? Will the rest take notice? Will things go on as before? They are offending some dangerous players and they are out of their league. They are sowing the wind and may very well reap a whirlwind.
