First, they came for the conservatives, and nobody said anything. Ok, so that’s not true, we said a lot but dangit, the poem doesn’t really work if we admit a bunch of us said something it’s just that big tech didn’t care.
Then they came for the libertarians ...
Ron Paul ~ With no explanation other than "repeatedly going against our community standards," @Facebook has blocked me from managing my page. Never have we received notice of violating community standards in the past and nowhere is the offending post identified.
Ron Paul.
REALLY?!
Because Ron and his talk of freedom are just too darn scary.
Ron Paul ~ The only thing we posted to Facebook today was my weekly "Texas Straight Talk" column, which I have published every week since 1976.
Awww, but things are different now because talking about limiting the power and scope of government somehow goes against the community standards of Facebook. Anyone else feel like these companies are overplaying their hand?
Ahem.
Dave Rubin ~ You are welcome on @onlocals.
This is where Greg Gutfeld went, just FYI.
Anders ~ Sir, to be honest that might be too much for $FB to handle. Just based on that title! Keep up the good fight!
They do seem to get confused if the topic isn’t how many genders there are OR that orange man bad.
DFYNT ~ Have a chat with your son, doctor.
Prodaddio ~ Let the games begin ... thanks to the overridden veto the providers of social media are taking additional steps to ensure folks only read what the CEOs of said corps want.
e.alister.stan ~ Welcome to 2021 ... the beginning of managed speech and thought.
...
Richard L Lancaster ~ Face it. We're being discriminated against because our freedom of speech threatens people of power.
Ding ding ding.
