Using a fake name isn’t protection. A vpn isn’t protection. The only protection is to not say stupid shit on the internet. No matter what site. It’s incredible to me that all these people screaming about a deep state think it’s perfectly fine to post criminal activity on the internet period. And I know it’s happening because I’m watching it in real time from real people.. and then crying censorship when they get a temp ban for a post demanding dead liberal bodies cluttering every street in America. Lucky all you got was censored. Someone should research the person who owns gab and who invests in it. Also it is not loading at this time. So..
lol you think if people didn’t say anything illegal they’d be fine. If people only realized their thoughts are now illegal and that we have oligarchs that deem what movements are allowed to meet in person they’d be fine. When Colin kaepernick says that non violence is over and they need to resort to violence now he gets 3 million dollars from Jack Dorsey. And so many more examples.

The internet is a government creation. Let’s repeat that again.. THE INTERNET IS A GOVERNMENT CREATION. The corporate class is not your friend. They aren’t my friend either. They aren’t anyone’s friend. Yes, let’s celebrate yet another giftwrapped piece of shit. :rolleyes:

wanna plan an insurrection? Wanna threaten to murder people? Admit your a proper criminal to yourself and go meet your coconspirators in a dark alley somewhere like your supposed to.

advising people to use a fake name as if that’s some type of protection is bad advice and stupid as hell.

give me evidence of one person on either side who was Banned without breaking the terms of service. I’d love to see it. Everyone I know who’s been banned has been actively calling for, encouraging or cheering on Violence.

In a statement Friday, Trump said: “We have been negotiating with various other sites, and will have a big announcement soon, while we also look at the possibilities of building out our own platform in the near future.”

Maybe I should set up shop as a psychic @Lurking009

It just struck me that you don’t know this because you don’t know any right wingers except your boomer fed poster friends on Facebook. The right wing has been being censored for like 4 years now, almost eveyone I used to listen to is gone or on some obscure platform, and it was never, in zero cases, because they were calling for violence. It’s funny that your left anarchist friends finally are after they operated their entire war against the public for 7 months on twitter I guess

What do you mean I don’t know any right wingers? Pretty much EVERYONE I know is a right winger. And no one I mention here is a boomer - I’m a lot younger then that. I have no left anarchist friends to really speak of. Save one and he’s been banned pretty much everywhere as your fully aware and with rightful cause as HE is fully aware. The assholes I know advocating for death on Facebook are still allowed to post on Instagram for some odd reason. Maybe y’all should look into that?

as for your Israel comment - no you didn’t incite violence atleast from what your saying but you still violated a private companies terms of service. Maybe you should have read the rules before signing up.

I don’t agree with banning people but this isn’t a free speech issue - free speech only means you aren’t going to jail for saying it. Period. I don’t agree with it because I think it’s playing right into certain people’s hands and giving the wrong people way too much fuel for a fire that’s already burning hotter then is safe.

You missed the point of my reply. It's not about left or right. It's us and them. So, for any one on the left to be cheering for censorship of Trump or anyone else, just remember you're next. (and that goes for anyone on the right cheering for censorship as well)
This is a bit silly though. Leftists are not “next”, if anything we were first. Do you understand how easy it is to have your Twitter account suspended? Trump only lasted as long as he did because he’s so high-profile. I’m no longer on Twitter, but I went through eight different accounts over the years, the first seven ALL suspended for trolling conservatives. Childish, I know, but it was loads of pure goofy fun at the time.

It really seems they enjoy clicking that ban button whenever they get a report without really taking the time to review and find out if any rules were actually broken or not.

Ok but I didn’t do any of that. Saying israel did 911 is like saying japan did pearl harbour. Not that it matters, I don’t want to be there anyways

Honestly, anyone who is forced onto alternative platforms should be thanking these tech giants for handing them the key to their own shackles.

Trying not be overly imaginative but I can't help but wonder if the exaggerated response of the large sites is being done on purpose to raise even more doubts about section 230 of the US communications act. Unfortunately, thanks partly to the scam artist Trump, conservatives seem to be conflating the issue of free speech afforded by 230 versus the issue of anti-trust abuse. Several bills being discussed in congress are attempting to change our laws protecting encryption and free speech:


Section 230 Will Be Flogged Until Morale Improves
"Looking beyond encryption, the other real target here was Section 230 (47 U.S.C. §230), a law that has been falsely maligned as providing special protection to Big Tech companies. In reality, Section 230 protects the speech and security of everyday Internet users.

Lawmakers in Congress filled the final months of 2020 with ideas about how to weaken Section 230, a federal law that is simply not broken. The PACT Act was an effort to address the dominance of the biggest online platforms, but would end up censoring users and entrenching the dominance of the biggest platforms. Another late 2020 proposal, the Online Content Policy Modernization Act, was simply an unconstitutional mess.

These ideas are going to keep coming back in 2021. There’s justifiable criticism of Big Tech, but it’s led many politicians into misguided attempts to control online speech, or give police more power to control and surveil the Internet. If a wrongheaded proposal to gut Section 230 passes, the collateral damage could be severe.

We all know there are serious problems in the online world, like disinformation, hateful speech, and eroded privacy. By and large, the big problems aren’t related to Section 230, which still fulfills its goal of protecting user speech. The big problems exist because a few tech companies have too much power. Giant tech companies act increasingly like monopolies. Their content moderation systems are broken.

We do need new solutions to these problems. And they’re out there: we need to think about beefing up antitrust enforcement, reforming anti-competitive laws like the CFAA, creating strong privacy regulations, freeing user data by making it portable, and creating opportunities for competitive compatibility."

Inciting fear about a protected category. That’s why you were banned. I posted the screenshot of that rule. I think it’s ridiculous but it is what it is.

Torba seems to have good intentions. I checked out his manifesto a few weeks ago about getting beyond the left-right divide, which many of us agree:

How to Unify the American Populist Movement
Parler was made for the far right while GAB is a little more centrist and wants free speech. Parler was a money grab from, a team of talking heads riding populism and hoping Twitter kicked people off to make their site grow. Now, we will have just echo chambers and aren't they fun.

One of the big issues will be free speech, censorship, etc. Now if we could turn the mobs towards Silicon Valley..... march on Big Tech at the heart of things for gosh sakes, not the White House:)

LOL Well that was quick. Twitter stock is already on the rebound today it seems. I should have bought some more yesterday. There’s still time to cash in, though, if anyone is wondering.
