Free Republic

Companies are beginning to censor and de-platorm people associated with President Trump. Facebook has clamped down further on election related speech. At the US Southern Border, President Trump marked 400 miles of new wall completion. However, a new caravan is being formed down in Honduras, planning to makes its way up here to the America. Over in Michigan, a group of investigators who looked into the election asked the judge to remain anonymous for their own personal safety. However, the judge refused, and is now revealing their identities.See video at link.

Bouncing off of what I posted yesterday, I think it might be a wise discussion to have that we can use the progressives' own rules against them. Alinsky 101 if you will. Progressives have set it up so that when we purchase software, we subsidize progressivism, and opensecrets.org proves this to be an undeniable truth. Well, then, clearly the opposite is also the truth. When we use free open source software, progressivism subsidizes us. Your bank account is to smile upon thee. Are you subsidized by progressivism? You can be. Maybe embracing "free stuff" isn't so bad after all.

U.S.—Donald Trump was permanently banned from Twitter today, being a crazy fringe extremist who also happens to be the president of the United States. But the ever-clever Trump, always known as the smartest man in the room, has managed to get back on the social network by disguising himself as one Chongald Xrump, PR specialist for the Chinese Communist Party. Trump is reportedly attempting to build a following by tweeting about how good Uighur concentration camps are and how nice the Chinese government is, since those things are not banned under Twitter's terms of service. Once he has enough followers,...

Tuesday during the opening of his MSNBC “MTP Daily” program, Chuck Todd declared his network would not be airing remarks made by President Donald Trump earlier in the day out of fear it could be a “rallying cry for bad actors

Do you know how many of the people arrested in connection with the Capitol invasion were active users of Parler? Zero. The planning was largely done on Facebook. This is all a bullshit pretext for silencing competitors on ideological grounds: just the start.

I had to think a bit about this. For those of you less than 30 years old, when the internet was in it's infancy, there was a whole lot of things going on. Did you ever do an Archie search? How about utilizing Gopher menu's? The only three web browsers for DOS6.22/Win3.11 were Mozilla, Netscape, and Lynx. But there were, and still are, places on the internet that big tech doesn't own and can't own because it's too decentralize. For the the geeks like me, BBS'ing was where we started. This was the mid-80's. Imagine, posting a message on a...

I have borrowed and altered a quote from the great Supreme Court Justice, Clarence Thomas, spoken at his confirmation hearing for his appointment to the U. S. Supreme Court. I believe the words accurately reflect the thoughts and feelings of the many Conservatives today regarding the Illegal Election and the subsequent Censorship and Purges. With apologies to Justice Thomas for altering his very eloquent quote …. It’s a national disgrace! And from my standpoint as a conservative American, as far as I’m concerned it is a high–tech lynching for uppity conservatives, who in any way deign to think for themselves,...

Watching mealy-mouthed, frothy-lipped, knuckle-dragging d*ckheads cheer the silencing of thousands and thousands of conservatives on social media by the ‘West Coast Big Tech’ companies has been disheartening. Totally expected but still, you’d think by now they’d have learned that things always swing back the other way. Not to mention the same big tech authoritarians who took down Parler may someday come for them. Elon Musk spelled it out in one short but sweet tweet. Elon Musk @elonmusk "A lot of people are going to be super unhappy with West Coast high tech as the de facto arbiter of free speech"...

Facebook sank as much as 4.5% on Monday as investors continued to balk at the platform's ban of President Donald Trump. The slide saw $33.6 billion erased from Facebook's market cap at intraday lows. Shares have since pared some losses and now trade about 2.6% lower. The stock's decline comes as Wall Street reconciles with the president's role in encouraging supporters to storm the Capitol on Wednesday. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced on Thursday the company would ban Trump "indefinitely," adding the risks of allowing him to remain on the platform "are simply too great." Twitter, which permanently banned Trump...

Why can a baker be forced to make a cake for something he disagrees with but a social media platform may pick and choose? Is it possible to sue some of these providers under the same laws that bakers are forced to serve those they disagree with. Make no mistake, the bakery cases are not merely about baking a cake. The reports never tell us what the customer wanted on those cakes or what shape they may have been to cause the objection but you may be certain it wasn't a simple, plain cake. IF a baker may be forced...

Facebook Inc. said Monday it is removing all content mentioning “stop the steal,” a phrase popular among supporters of President Trump’s claims about the election, as part of a raft of emergency measures to stem misinformation and incitements to violence on its platform in the lead up to President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration.

VIDEOIn the wake of the obscene crackdowns on free speech by the social media monopolies and their open antitrust destruction of competitors which just happened to Parler, we the people need a way to strike back. And one way to strike back is with a strike against YouTube which is owned by the Google monopoly. Therefore I am again calling for a YouTube Strike Day on the first of April, April Fools Day, in which creators decline to upload any videos that day and everybody else refuses to go on YouTube that day.If you want to upload a video or...

A media company that employs right wing talk-radio hosts, including Mark Levin, Dan Bongino, and Ben Shapiro, circulated a memo after the pro-Trump riots on Capitol Hill telling hosts to dial down allegations of election fraud, or else face termination. Cumulus Media sent the internal memo to employees on Wednesday, according to Inside Music Media. The Atlanta-based company owns 416 radio stations throughout the country, many using a talk-radio format with local and national right-wing personalities. “We need to help induce national calm NOW,” Cumulus’s executive vice president of content Brian Philips wrote in the memo. The company “will not...

I've been in the technology industry for over twenty years and I've seen fads come and go. When I got started in 2000 I oversaw the migration of data from old tape drives to modern 1GB hard drives. Then at my job I oversaw the end of the mainframe and the ascendancy of the PC and server as the new form of decentralized network infrastructure. From 2001 through to around 2010 the internet and internet access were present in the government agency I work for but most people were prohibited from using it. And if they did their access was...

German Chancellor Angela Merkel considers U.S. President Donald Trump’s eviction from Twitter by the company “problematic,” her spokesman said Monday. Twitter permanently suspended Trump from the microblogging platform on Friday, citing a “risk of further incitement of violence” in the wake of the storming of the U.S. Capitol by supporters of the outgoing president. Asked about Twitter’s decision, Merkel’s spokesman, Steffen Seibert, said the operators of social media platforms “bear great responsibility for political communication not being poisoned by hatred, by lies and by incitement to violence.” He said it’s right not to “stand back” when such content is posted,...

Twitter’s stock price tumbled early Monday as investors appeared to balk at the social network’s decision to ban President Trump from posting. Shares in the San Francisco-based company tumbled 7.5 percent to $47.60 as of 8:07 a.m. in the first premarket trading session after it booted Trump from the platform on Friday, saying his account posed a “risk of further incitement of violence” after his supporters stormed the US Capitol on Wednesday. Twitter’s move against the outgoing president — whose account had more than 88 million followers — was the first permanent suspension for a head of state, and it’s...

On Friday, Twitter joined a slew of other social media companies in permanently suspending Donald Trump’s accounts. Subsequently, many other conservative users found themselves deplatformed by the tech giant. The tech oligarchs’ argument is that Trump’s social media presence incites violence, as evidenced by the riot in the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.Twitter argued that several of Trump’s tweets violated its Glorification of Violence policy, which states, “You may not threaten violence against an individual or a group of people. We also prohibit the glorification of violence.”Unsurprisingly, there are countless Twitter accounts that regularly call for harm or violence, in violation...

We appear to be at the beginning of a massive crackdown on people who have supported Donald Trump, led by big tech and big media. These entities are making Trump into an example of their power to frighten the half of America that supported him in November. We cannot allow them to intimidate us. But they sure are trying, and on some, they will succeed. They are using the excuse of an unrepresentative group of fools criminally ransacking U.S. Capitol offices with a lighter touch than many of this summer’s often unpunished Black Lives Matter and Antifa rioters. Remember: Some...

Conservatives must boycott Big Tech companies. Those companies, the FAANG companies + Twitter, are tyrannical. They must be stopped. If we boycott Big Tech, then we might be able to get them to backdown and reopen the public square. If not, then at least we will have found products to use that won’t use the money they make to destroy America. Finally, one other thing everyone should do to boycott Big Tech is sell their stocks in those companies. If you’re an investor, you might be invested in some of those. They’ve delivered great returns. But they’ve used that money...
