    Recently, Alex Jones and Infowars have been removed from Social Media platforms like Facebook and Youtube. This was clearly a co-ordinated move by major tech companies.

    The official reason is “Hate Speech.”

    Expect other prominent figures to be taken down too. The MSM is fighting back and Apple, Google, Facebook are leading the charge.

    I fear Sandman, TFM, Sargon, will all be down the memory hole soon enough. Just like Big John and MGTOW 101.

    Looks like Bitchute will be the new “free speech” zone on the internet.

    Some are arguing that Youtube, Facebook are private companies and can do whatever they want. Its their service they can boot anybody off the site.

    I have also heard the comparison made between The Power Company or any other Utility Provider. Its a frightening prospect when a company has so much power over an individual.

    Will the Free Market correct itself and Youtube will suffer the losses to upstarts like Bitchute?

    Or will the Big Tech firms corner the market and establish total monopoly and internet censorship?

    “hate speech” is newspeak for “thought crime”

    Yes, exactly. “Wrong Think” is a serious offense. Zero Tolerance Policy. All the rhetoric is very Orwellian.

    In case some of you guys haven’t heard of terms like “newspeak” and “thought crime”, it’s time to read 1984, the book. Or you can just watch the movie, I guess.
    It should be required reading.

    I knew the s~~~ was going downhill after I heard of “The Patriot Act” and “Homeland Security”. Thank god for God Emperor Trump to put some brakes on this insanity temporarily, but I think Sovetization of the West is, unfortunately, inevitable. Too bad I can’t emigrate anywhere else to escape the soviet totalitarian regime. US is the last bastion of freedom still standing

    Yes, it should. Multiple readings are recommended. All of the techniques explained in that book are being used today.

    Including more sophisticated “hi-tech” versions of these techniques.

    There is a Russian saying about “ratcheting the nuts” which means oppression.

    Back in the day, the only way to oppress people was with propaganda and brute force.

    In the virtual world of nowadays, propaganda is weaponized and all the tools of tools required for stealth oppression are already built in in all the tech we got. So it’s only a matter of time when those nuts will be put to use and start getting ratcheted. The dark ages of total oppression are coming very soon. It’s sad, but there’s nothing I can do. People opt in into it.

    The times of weaponized social engineering and slow kill depopulation are upon us. The only chance is second American revolution and returning to the roots of rugged individualism and limited government, which will never take place as long as we have universal suffrage and ban on cruel and unusual punishments.

    I just so happened to have started reading “1984” the week before 9/11 happened. I was in 9th Grade and I could see what was happening.

    The funny thing is, that former USSR citizens are the ones that are the most aware of what is happening. Westerners are too naive to understand what is happening to them.

    When people have it too good for too long, they become ignorant and sloppy. Even the founders knew that this American system will be prone to degeneration and failure due to human nature

    I’m afraid the “Second American Revolution” is going to be a Bolshevik Revolution.

    Me too.
    With help of modern technology, worldwide totalitarian regime seems more plausible to powers that be than ever before. Unfortunately, I think it’s inevitable. Individual freedom is in death throws right now. Near future will look like a mix of Idiocracy, Brave New World and 1984.
    It definitely blows, but I’m still grateful to live in such trying times as these. As long as I stay the spectator, and not the one who’s getting depopulated.

    It’s only called “hate speech” by those who hate the truth – and free speech.

    Whenever any moron slings the term around, ask them what they consider “love speech”.

    If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

    Another good and important read is Saul Alinski’s Rules for Radicals.
    It outlines the tactics they have been using since the 60’s

    The guy is a nut, however, the free speech issue bothers me. They did the same to MGTOW 101, MGTOW is Freedom, Tommy Sotomayor. I believe private companies are allowed to regulate their services, so, in theory, they do not have to recognize free speech. However, Jughead Jones has a good amount of money, so he can start a legal inquiry if he wanted. I’ll even bet he’d be able to raise money from the people who follow him. Have you seen the garbage he peddles on his site? Come on, the guy is a snake oil salesman; and a good one at with a certain type of person.

    Those who hate the truth are those who have something to hide.

    The one world government is The Kingdom of heaven.

    People have been scared of a one world government while
    at the same time promoting it every Sunday…

    How is that for a revelation?

    people are full of knowledge and empty of understanding.

    God’s laws are the laws of nature and natures god
    1.natural selection
    2.survival of the fittest.
    3.might makes right
    4.intellect rules ignorance forever.

    Intellect=understanding

    Love and respect without prejudice

    I was bound to be misunderstood, and I laugh at those who misunderstand me. Kind mockery at the well intentioned, but unfettered cruelty towards those would be prison guards of my creative possibilities. This so as to learn as much from misunderstanding as from understanding. Taking pleasure in worthy opponents and making language fluid and flowing like a river yet pointed and precise as a dagger. Contradicts the socialistic purpose of language and makes for a wonderful linguistic dance, A verbal martial art with constant parries that hone the weapon that is the two edged sword of my mouth.

    Some are arguing that Youtube, Facebook are private companies and can do whatever they want. Its their service they can boot anybody off the site.

    I’m of that mindset, for multiple reasons. Sure, in the short term, it’s bad for info wars and others to be banned from these social media platforms, and it will make their business and messages difficult. It definitely is bad for free speech and communication of ideas.

    However, the idea of the US government, or some international organization, coming in and declaring social media to be a public utility is a lot worse in the long term. Zuckerburg would absolutely welcome that change because it would virtually cement Facebook as a standard medium never to disappear and would alleviate him from holding any responsibility of regulating content. I also don’t think it’s going to end up with greater free speech, as that certainly isn’t the case with other regulated medias, like TV. Heck, a big part of the internet and social medias popularity and sense was because it wasn’t subject to government regulation.

    And really, do we want government to have even more control over our lives? When have they ever stepped in and made anything better.

    I’d rather hold faith in people to boycott or limit their use of social media that cuts out free speech, and for alternatives to appear. It sounds like it’s not possible, that facebook, google, etc have too much of a monopoly, but we are a capable people, and we have an outsider as President.

    Ok. Then do it.

    Facebook and YouTube are press platforms. People who use them are engaged in activities of the press, which are covered under their First Amendment rights. In addition, all of the big tech firms (Google, Facebook, AND Microsoft) were built using federal tax dollars and tax holidays. They’re also all publicly traded international corporations with boards of directors and shareholder meetings. They are no longer “private” and “privately owned” businesses.

    This “private company” bulls~~~ doesn’t pass the smell test. These platforms are engaged in activities of the press and have been government funded/ publicly traded for at least ten years. They’re also the de facto public square and abuses of their users’ 1A freedom of the press should be dealt with in the judicial system as the civil rights violations they are.

    The last thing you want is the government regulating these firms though. When has anything the government does, except maintain a standing military, ever gone well?

    What social media doesn’t understand is that hate speech is also protected by the 1st Amendment. What YouTube did to Alex Jones should be grounds for lawsuit.
