All those people crying about FREEDOM OF SPEECH

Were nowhere to be found when Trump attacked freedom of Speech, assaulting peaceful protesters this summer, essentially declaring open war on protests. The police state clamped down hard on peaceful protesters, shooting them with rubber bullets, tear gas, having unmarked police grabbing people off the streets.

That was a real attack on FREEDOM OF SPEECH. The GOVERNMENT assaulting your right to protest, essentially criminalizing it.

Where were the free speech warriors ?

Oh right they cheered on the Police state.

Now they are crying because Trump incited a riot and violence with deadly consequences, and got kicked off a private platform for BREAKING TERMS OF SERVICE OF THAT PRIVATE COMPANY.

Trump is not getting "censored" That is a lie. He's getting kicked off for breaking TOS (Terms of Service)

You all need to stop acting like victims and take responsiblity for your actions. You cannot incite violence and hatred on these platforms, that is just the bottom line. You sign the terms of service when you open up your account. If you don't like it you shouldn't have pressed the I AGREE option, and you wouldn't have been allowed on in the first place.

Another false narrative is that people who are a "threat" to the elites are being censored. Yeah maybe a few of them, but the vast majority of people getting kicked off these platforms do not threaten to expose anything.

This is all culture war provocation. They are trying to make right wingers ANGRY. If you haven't figured it out yet, they've been trying to make right wingers ANGRY for a long time, so that you can resort TO VIOLENCE. That is the end goal. You are all being emotionally manipulated.

None of you truly care about freedom of speech by the way. Only when its politically convenient you use it as a shield.

We allow you your daily whiny rants, don't we? I think people here have been very patient with your thread invasion antics. At this point, you have turned yourself into a cartoon character and that is how most here see you. Instead of attacking every participant in this thread with blanket statments, offer something beyond a slanted opinion or attacking posters participating peacefully for you take arguments from other threads to this one. or move on. You need to take a break from this place. The path you're on will likely lead to you having to post on another forum in the not-so-distant future. Seriously, a lot of people just skip past your posts whether you know it or not.

Trump is over, <Move on.

It is not about MAGA, it is not about Trump. The thread is about censorship via Big Tech,

Participate in the thread by actually offering something on the subject matter or leave. You are the one trying to challenge people personally here inviting them into the mud pit while taking the thread off subject. You are also making sweeping blanket statements trying to get people to respond to things off subject. That leads to the petty back and forth you love so much which hampers discussion. Almost everyone here has to some degree buried differences during this crazy time except you. Get with the program.

With all due respect you may not like how vancity says it and you may not like being reminded of it but some of the same people here crying about free speech most definitely supported and cheered for the crack down on free leftist speech we saw earlier this year and were definitely supportive of private companies having these loopholes in the past when they were directed towards denying service to people they don’t like. It’s hard not to bring it up when the double standard is that blatant. I mentioned before many of you will actively advocate for having people banned on this site. Where’s the free speech there? What’s the difference? You just insinuated that again - which would be depriving vancity of his free speech because you don’t like him or what he has to say and you’d seemingly be aok with that.

As usual, you exaggerate and take things out of context. People were having a discussion here about big picture issues and censorship you figure out after it happens. All you two are doing in every thread is trying to bring it back to Trump or left/right politics.
who made it left/right politics when you all cheered Trump's crackdown last year. Like I said, and you cannot refute, the vast majority crying now about free speech were supporting the crackdown when the roles were reversed. YOu seem to love projection, because you always accuse me of what you take part in yourself. Serious hypocrisy and double standards.

The reason it is hard for you two not to bring it up is you are both obsessed with Trump. That is clear for 99.99% here to see.
Forget Trump. Right wingers were always crying and whining about being "oppressed" well before Trump and they will do so afterwards, while simultaneously supporting real attacks on free speech because it supports your agenda. Like I said its clear most of you dont really care about free speech, and just use it as a political talking point. Prove me wrong, instead of your petty insults.

Van can say what he wants to but he/her kills thread after thread by bringing up the same thing over and over and over and inviting people to the pigs mud where useless arguments ensue
.

So you want GROUPTHINK then ? I know you want a big circle jerk here dont you ? How are you any different than those you accuse of censorship and forcing views upon others. You want YOUR views forced on others, and if anybody can think outside of your box, you accuse them of "killing threads" Again why dont you challenge the ideas and points I make instead of weak insults ?

This point is about free speech, and I dont think its off topic to bring up the hypocrisy of our "free speech warriors"

Also getting kicked off a private platform for violating TOS is not censorship, no matter how much you guys cry about it.

Y'know, if you took a moment and actually WATCHED and/or LISTENED to the videos that @The Zone has posted, you might realize that this is more than a national issue. The video does include other countries besides the US that are affected or will ban social media platforms.

Not everything is about the US of A.

I'm against government censorship and REAL suppression of free speech.

If you can prove that people get kicked off social media platforms without breaking the TOS, then I would agree with you.

YOu cannot incite violence and hatred on a private platform with TOS. Period. It's not a conspiracy.

I'm trying to highlight what is going on beyond the "we got kicked off twitter"

THEY are attempting to rile you up, thats it. You cannot see that, because you are so caught up in the "culture war"

and yes this faux outrage over free speech is a part of the "culture war" again you dont see it.

I'm seeing a coordinated campaign with Fox News and all the "alt media" crying about "free speech" and "censorship" Not the first time either. A coordinated campaign of outrage always seems to follow when some major figure espousing violence, hatred, or racism gets deplatformed. Its nothing new.

Its all to divide and get you angry.

You really think bunch of MAGA and Qtards are being "censored" because "they want to silence you" WHEN THEY ENABLED ALL OF THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Think logically and not emotionally.

The "Clash of civilizations" agenda is worldwide too, and not limited to AMerica.

The same agenda of division is worldwide.

Parler basically folded like a wet noodle.

"The Pirate Bay" is still around, but they can't figure out how to keep Parler up? I certainly ain't falling for that shit. By now, everyone should know that the internet is like a high school popularity contest. Getting picked on comes with the territory, and if you aren't prepared for that, you lack something.

I like some of the alternative social networks. However, I can tell that none of them are bringing anything different. They might talk a better game and use the right buzz words, but they are just as hollow as Zuckerberg, or Dorsey, or whoever the fuck is in charge of Google and Apple today.

Don't get me wrong; I think that most people mean well. When I said hollow, I mean powerless or lacking the will to follow through on what needs to be done. Look, I'm sorry, but you have to force people to grow up at some point. Because not doing so is the greater disservice. We make the hard decisions now, so we don't have to deal with the eventual clusterfuck of what is inevitably our own creations.
