Dan Bongino warns the fight for free speech has just started, conservative censorship is 'all around us' [Video]
MSN.com ^

"Unfiltered" host Dan Bongino revealed the "sub-players" of big tech censorship Saturday, saying it's not just "the Twitters, the Facebooks, the YouTubes" — there's more.

DAN BONGINO: Here are a few examples. First, what about Wikipedia? You really don't hear Wikipedia much, especially when it comes to the big tech censorship game. But don't doubt me on this. Wikipedia is becoming a powerful source for censorship and rewriting history, and they're just as influential in some cases as social media is.

Then there's the Apple App Store. You know about Apple, of course. But do you know about the App Store? Where you go to get apps? Well, one of the most powerful platforms online, the App Store, they have a monopoly over there, they can just about ban any content they want. Politics don't even need to be involved.

It's happening all around us. The App Store, Google Ad Network, Wikipedia. Google Ads is one of the most powerful, devastating tools the Left has to censor conservative voices. It's not all about Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.

This is huge and is a battle under the radar the libs are winning

Woke mobs on twitter mass e-mail companies to cancel ads on conservative sites reducing revenue

I’m really liking Bongino more all the time. His radio show has been getting pre-empted for baseball lately, and it ticks me off.

That's the fault of your local station. Mine used to preempt him for MSU basketball games.

I know it’s the station’s decision. My point was that it bothered me. I never thought I’d give a hoot about such a thing ever again after Rush.

I know. I think building our own platforms will be successful if we can keep them out. These people are simply parasites. I predict they will attempt to follow us to our hang-outs.

These people are like the clingers you always tried to avoid when going out with your buddies for a night on the ville.

We can easily live without them, they can’t seem to live without us. We’re the cool kids, they are damaged. TV and media try to portray them as the cool kids... but it’s just a show.

In the past four years, most conservative sites that I visit have had their ability to allow a comments section come under attack from leftist activists. Some have been forced to entirely eliminate their comments section, others have had to restrict them - wholly or in part - to paying members, and a couple have switched to different providers.

I have no doubt this puts economic stress on these sites by reducing traffic and weakening the bond between the site and its readers.

I believe this has even had an impact on Fox News, which the left would like to drive out of existence. Due to pressure from leftist activists, they have suffered severe hits to their revenue, which is probably the main reason they have been so aggressively promoting their for-pay "Fox Nation" feature. Just the other day, the New York Times launched an attack on Tucker Carlson, portraying him as a hard-core racist, and this story was picked up by many newspapers nationwide. This is just the latest effort to drive away advertisers and jeopardize the long-tern stability of the network.

This will probably effect TRUTH SOCIAL. I’m not a fan of President Trump’s speech delivery but the truth doesn’t need speech training or special mics to accent your voice, like 0bama had.

It's "censorship of conservatives", not "conservative censorship". Conservatives aren't censoring anyone since they believe in the inalienable right to free speech.

Big shoes to fill and probably no one ever will.

But I do like Mr. Bongino.

He is the guy that will grab onto the neck of a prog spewing BS and push their nose into the pile of crap they just left on the floor and laugh at them when they complain.

We need a LOT more Bonginos.

Here is what their Dear Leader is really up to.

.

“” You know why this work matters. Here’s what we’re doing with Check My Ads:

Creating a thing called “consequences” for adtech industry leaders
Giving you the deeply satisfying feeling of cutting off the bad guys
Helping us advocate for sending ad dollars directly towards journalism & trusted media
As we take on this critical mission, we need your support. Here are three ways you can help:

Become a Checkmate (starting at $10/month): Support our critical work and join our inner circle! Checkmates will get access to special invite-only events and early access to our upcoming podcast Immeasurable.

Corporate giving: We welcome employee giving (matching gifts or payroll deductions), in-kind donations and sponsorships.
Give an annual gift: A one-time gift in the $1,000 - $10,000 range would do two things: provide a BIG boost for our first year of operation AND signal to other individuals that this work is worthy of major support. “”

.

And their donorbox link?

I does not let in anyone running a VPN.

.

“What happened?
The owner of this website (donorbox.org) has banned the autonomous system number (ASN) your IP address is in (12989) from accessing this website.”

.

That probably means they are doing the very thing they are claiming to fight. They are grabbing your info and selling it.

.

Iheart also has all of Dan Bongino’s podcasts of his shows. They’re great to put on while driving. They’ll play one after another.
