OAN Newsroom UPDATED 7:04 PM PT – Sunday, January 10, 2021 Supporters and non-supporters of President Trump are speaking out against Big Tech’s far-reaching ability to censor people.
“Facebook, Twitter, they all took down the President’s accounts,” Mike Lindell, CEO of MyPillow said. “They took down Sydney Powell’s. They took down General Flynn’s, all my friends are out there. So many that are in the media, they took down theirs. They took them all. We had all social platforms so they’re not going to be able to get these messages out there, and it’s their livelihood. This is the danger we’re in right now.”
A lawyer for the ACLU condemned social media companies, namely Facebook and Twitter, for the move, saying it’s concerning that these companies wield the unchecked power to remove people from their platforms that have become indispensable for the speech of billions.

In a series of tweets, Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny called Twitter’s decision “unacceptable.” He believes officials based the decision off of emotion and political preference.

Legal action against Big tech? Ha! They’ll just be fined at best and that won’t hurt them in the least...besides they’re protected from suites.
“Pig Tech” must be recognized for what it is: Anti-American.
On that basis alone, it should be eliminated from America.
1. I never promoted my business through one of these stupid social media platforms because I did not have full control of the content, the platform or the users. It’s turned out to be one of the smartest decisions I’ve ever made.
2. When I bought a new mobile phone last year I didn’t get an iPhone 10 ... or even an iPhone 1. I got a flip phone that’s about a 2002-2003 vintage. It was the simplest and least functional phone available.
3. This year I’m “upgrading” my office computer system ... by DOWNGRADING it. My cloud-based system is being replaced by an internal server where I’ll be hosting all of my files myself.
If I can’t trust Big Tech, I can’t use it.
I often post the following to liberals:
“You’d better hope that you always, and I mean always, agree with your Democrat politicians the Political Correctness of the day or this will be turned on you.”
Right now they don’t get it. That’s OK. America is made of rebels. Who’s “the man” now???
“ And guess who isn’t losing any sleep over it. Big tech execs. Totally protected now.”
Until the Party turns on them, like the CCP is with Jack Ma.
Good for you. Downgrading a computer system does not look like a smart move for many people. But if you want a security and total control of your system, that is the way to go, I think.
If any conservative media figure thinks that they need Twitter because “it’s their livelihood”, then they are seriously delusional.
The democrat socialists no longer have to worry about elections. Big Tech has cracked the code and the electoral system is now “pwned.”
Less time than that most likely. The left are going to go mental in the first 4 years IF they steal this election
That and $.50 will get you a Phone Call if you can actually find a Pay Phone.
Trump is letting the criminals commit the crimes.
Those 600 million guns are NOT organized militia. The leftist will take out one conservative at a time using the organized police force, the tax code, and the upper echelons in FBI & Justice. Military will stay out of it under the delusion they do not want to get involved in politics. In the end the lefty will diminish the military to become just a rag tag army who will not be able to defeat Mexico.
So yes, surrendering the election of 2020 to fraud is the death nell for what was the best republic ever created by the extremely wise framers of US Constitution.
Chief Justice John Robert’s, are you proud of what your actions have wrought?
Even the ACLU chimes in. wow! Even if it’s out of a pretense of fairness
They completely disabled Presidential Alerts on my phone without an update or notification.
Break these monopolies up and throw the perps of the insurrection in prison.

“We will be Venezuela in ten years....the courts will never stop the left now..”
“Two years, maybe less.”
It will take a while before we get there. It’s right now too big to fail. I’m thinking 2048 is the target. Our Children will curse our memories for not teaching them better. Their children will either curse their parents for leading them into poverty stricken communist dictatorship. Or they will live like peaceful sheep in a totalitarian utopia. But this is the direction they wanna go. Their children will need to shed blood to get out when the benevolence runs out and individuals recognize they’re enslaved.
OTOH, they have physical infrastructure of their own that could be “stress-tested.”
