Is the social media crackdown on conservatives about to get even worse?
On Friday, representatives from Facebook, Google, Twitter, Microsoft, Snapchat and other major social media companies gathered to discuss “strategy” for the 2018 election. Supposedly they were going to discuss how to combat the flow of “misinformation”, but we know what that means. Every time the social media giants pledge to do more to crack down on “fake news”, more conservatives get censored. In recent months we have witnessed the greatest purge of conservative voices in the history of the Internet, and as you will see below, even more prominent voices have been hit with bans in recent days. Of course the social media companies are pledging that their censorship efforts are being implemented in an even-handed manner, but obviously all of their meddling has greatly enhanced the probability that Democrats will emerge victorious in November.
According to Breitbart, this gathering of social media executives was initiated by Facebook, and it was held at Twitter’s headquarters in San Francisco…
Facebook is reportedly meeting with multiple other Silicon Valley Masters of the Universe Friday to discuss how to prevent the spread of “misinformation” across their platforms ahead of the 2018 midterm elections.
Business Insider reports that Silicon Valley tech giants including Facebook, Twitter, Google, Microsoft, and Snap will be holding a meeting at Twitter headquarters in San Francisco Friday to discuss the 2018 U.S. midterm elections. According to emails obtained by BuzzFeed News, Facebook’s head of cybersecurity policy Nathaniel Gleicher invited 12 representatives from the companies to the meeting.
But this isn’t the first time a gathering like this has taken place.
In fact, we now know that executives from many of the largest tech companies met with representatives from the deep state back in May…
In May, representatives from Amazon, Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Oath, Snap and Twitter met with Christopher Krebs, an undersecretary at the US Department of Homeland Security, and Mike Burham from the FBI’s foreign influence taskforce.
Since that meeting, we have seen social media censorship get much, much worse.
Could it be possible that there is a connection?
And we have also just learned that Facebook will now be rating all users (that means you too) for “trustworthiness”…
The social media giant plans to assign users a reputation score that ranks them on a scale of from zero to one, according to the Washington Post.
It marks Facebook’s latest effort to stave off fake news, bot accounts and other misleading content on its site.
But the idea of a reputation score has already generated skepticism about how Facebook’s system will work, as well as criticism that it resembles China’s social credit rating system.
Yes, this is almost exactly like China’s new “social credit rating system”. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if Facebook actually got that idea from them.
We are seeing the rise of a tyrannical Big Brother technocracy, and it is getting worse with each passing month. Just check out some of the big name conservatives that have been censored by social media in recent days…
-The Hagmann Report was just slapped with a 90 day ban by YouTube.
-Verity Baptist Church was just completely banned by YouTube.
-The David Horowitz Freedom Center just had the processing of their donations blocked by Visa and Mastercard.
-“Activist Mommy” Elizabeth Johnston was recently banned by Facebook.
In addition, Facebook’s censorship of PragerU has resulted in a drop of engagement of more than 99 percent…
Conservative non-profit group PragerU also recently appeared to be the latest victims of Facebook censorship, as many recent posts from the group’s Facebook paged suffered a 99.9999 percent drop in engagement based on Facebook’s own dashboard. The social media giant also pulled down two PragerU videos, which it labeled “hate speech.”
The social media giants seem determined to try to kill off the conservative movement in this country, and in my latest book I discuss how political correctness has gotten completely and utterly out of control in America. These elitists don’t believe in free speech, because on some level they understand that their ideas would not win in a free and open marketplace of ideas.
In order to win, they must censor us. And the more tyrannical they become, the more Americans will start turning against them.
Fortunately, there are signs that the tide is starting to turn. Facebook’s web traffic in the U.S. is way, way down, and conservatives are beginning to abandon other repressive social media platforms as well.
The Internet is supposed to be a free and open forum where all ideas are freely discussed. If we do not stand up now, we could lose control of the Internet forever, and we must not allow that to happen.

Well, they are all run by faggoty assed vegan regressives. From their point of view, they figure why should they let their websites be used as propaganda platforms for anyone that promotes anything that runs counter to their new world order religion - and it is a religion. They are also, for now, hiding behind the veil that they are 'private' companies, and as such are not a state actor, where 1st Amendment rights do not attach.
And this is the crux of the issue. Are these websites considered so big and pervasive in the community to be considered state actors? There is case law that answers in the affirmative, where a developer built up what really became the town, all the shopping areas, housing, a local post office, etc. It was never formally ceded to the state, but when the issue of a 1st A right to protest on the grounds of the shopping area, the court ruled in favor of the protestors.
There are many other cases, and other facts about the origins of these sites (like where the money came from, and their entanglements with the government) that can support the argument these are in fact not purely private entities. At worst they are quasi-public entities, but that is enough to enjoin these azhlz from censoring speech.
Eventually, there will be a case brought to the SC over this, if Congress doesn't act first. But don't expect a ruling anytime before November.
The good news is these leftards think it was because of their website is why hellary lost. I would argue most who voted for Trump never saw a facebook page at all. They already knew how corrupt hellary was. Hellary lost on the merits, and so will the demoncraps on November 6.
That does not make the MIC zionist suckup R party a whole lot better, but at least they don't promote the root (homosexual dysfunction) and branches (trans this and that) which really degrades the society - despite the vociferous protests of the 'progressives' to the contrary. Adding censorship to the list is just icing on the cake.

"but at least they don't promote the root (homosexual dysfunction) and branches (trans this and that) which really degrades the society.."
If you read Cardinal Vigano's recent testimony about the Pope and the web of homosexual power and abuse running through the Vatican, you will see this same vein of evil. I know many gay people, and have never had an issue with it other than a faint sense of revulsion. What we are seeing now is that, like the influence of secret societies, the influence of the LGBT in the web of power is corrosive and self propagating, and encourages abuse of the young. It is not serving the best interests of our well being and community.

Either the people of this nation have representation that supports and defends the rights of all people and this censorship is ended by those sworn to protect and defend said Constitutional rights... or this ends literally a the end of the barrel of a gun.
OUR RIGHTS SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED BY ANYONE -
WHEN the gov fails spectacularly to find any way to stop these people - it is fucking on. It's time to literally start showing up on peoples doorsteps and apprehending or killing them if they resist arrest.
You want a civil war - you're going to get exactly what you profess to profane in this case. Unlike the 1860's, people can be gotten to anywhere in the world and there is no hole deep enough or far enough away to hunt, find and exterminate those who are doing this.
This time, it's not going to be some 600k dead, more like a few K dead... you start taking out execs, specific gov officials in specific counties and states and that list fortunately for all of us concerned isn't really that large.
Either this censorship gets eliminated by the supposed adults in charge or people start getting taken out I suspect and that's not hyperbole. My rights are NOT subject to theft nor relinquishing by fiat social control by technocrats with a political bent.
THIS PRESENT ACTIVITY IS CALLED TERRORISM
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2331
by definition of using the politics with their platforms to de-person people and that is exactly what they are doing. All of these socials are now officially in the open COLLUDING as TERRORISTS to use their platforms to control our rights to free speech... and that is a killing operation to restore and protect our liberty.
I've watched to many good people die in the line of duty to allow a coup of our rights like this to be blithely and intentionally blind-eyed in the intended abrogation of duty by public servants and that those sworn by oath to uphold the law to put an immediate HALT to this criminal terrorism in my United States.
If you're in government and going along with this or aiding and abetting these criminals against your charge and oath of office, you should be straight up shot dead in front of a wall for your intentional dereliction of duty to stop this colluding of terrorist anti-American activities.
Dear Dot Gov... I thought the US was in the business of killing terrorists? When do the hunting party's begin... that is up to you in dot fed.

I can appreciate your heart and anger, but stop one min and think. These platforms are not public property. There is also the intellectual property rights of those who created these platforms. Do you want to set a court precedence that will effectively allow the state to take control of your intellectual property rights for the right of free speech? Robbing Peter's rights to save Paul, Harry, and Brenda's free speech is socialism.

Freedom is not free -
My inalienable rights ARE MINE - same as yours -
Ours as in ALL OF US AS AMERICANS red, blue Libertarian in my cases inalienable rights are NOT SUBJECT TO NEGOTIATION -
As for these platforms - they most certainly are public property, they are and were built by the US NSA CIA and DARPA. That's for starters, they ARE DEEP STATE are you frickin kidding me?
You best get your head on straight, this is about the terrorist collusion of these companies, these leaders of these companies working with other deep state politicians and corporate interests to do an end around on all of us in order to plant their people in offices of this nations government by theft and deception and any fraud they choose at this point.
Do not think you people in power and business leadership are not being seen for the terrorists you absolutely are.
EVERY definition of terrorism is being put on display here by these companies.
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2331
It's all right there period.
You're either for your inalienable rights or you're not - there is ZERO middle ground here. This day has been preplanned, pre-programmed and without a doubt been scheduled to roll out before the elections so they can insert their criminal state that is getting its ass butt-fucked ten ways to a Sunday by the patriots in charge. I'm willing to help them keep it this way until death do us part in this life if needs be.
Sadly, We the people of the United States of America are now in a defacto state of civil war and all leadership and all executive branches of these companies are now to be targeted and removed, arrested or killed in any order that you like as this goes hot.
Tim Cook, Jack Dorsey, Mark Zuckerberg Google execs you name it, are now either going to restore everyone's rights or these people are going to get disappeared into the pink mist of that I smell coming. What these companies are doing is an outright act of war on this nation period. This is BY LAW A TERRORIST ACTION accordign to https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2331
We are either a nation of laws and free speech is unabridged, unfettered and un-fucked or it's time to start playing ghost ya games. Husbands, wives, kin folk of every type, NONE are off consideration. That goes for workers of these companies and anyone who seeks to by theft and deception steal this nations peoples inalienable rights through the fraud of terrorist election tampering and fraudulently inserting terror operatives to further attack us all from within.
No parsing of words here, no parsing of laws here - it's either everyone has a voice or those who are stealing all of ours are in for a real short life span along with their kin, workers friends and families. This is not a fucking game. This is YOUR LIBERTY, MY LIBERTY, ALL OF OUR LIBERTY. I care not who dies, only that this nation stays free. Some of us will bleed on the flag to keep those stripes red and free, how about yourself?
These so called politicians better get this one right and they'd best take action on the double asap or this is gonna start getting greasy. These little pissmop business leaders are about to be made dead from the mad shit I'm hearing. Word on the street is not a one of them will be alive within a week after this kicks off and if they are out of the US, hunted until dragged into a military tribunal if necessary. You really think their paid security is bargaining for continual all out guerilla warfare by people who don't miss from a half mile out?
More word is coming out about the lists.... all of these companies leaders, execs, family, kids... I personally don't want to go there as kids to me are off limits... but some people fit a certain specific psychological profile and they don't give a flyin fuck about these maggots kids or wives or parents etc. Word is all of these corporate folk are now fully compromised, all the names, home addresses and well... the more tech you have the super easier it is to track people these days... Nome sayin?
When you hit 70, you just don't give a shit anymore, NO ONE GETS OUT OF THIS LIFE ALIVE. What's the Zhedge motto right? In the between time, making others more miserable, stealing their livelihoods so they can have their faggot homo agenda's all politically correct with their safe spaces while the bankers thief every damn nickel of every human life on this planet, fuck when is enough enough... I assure you, there will be NO WHERE ON THIS EARTH FOR THEM THAT IS EVER SAFE TO WALK THE STREETS AGAIN.
The chatter I'm hearing of people being targeted is off the scale. Deep State is making its move and they're going all out without a doubt that's what this is.
My good lord in heaven I hope and beg that these politicians and other leadership get a grip on this real fast. If this literal civil war gets loose and this candle gets lit.... on hell of a lot of snowflakes and their fag masters are going to be ghosted along with one hell of a lot of business leaders and politicos. People have no concept and no idea the level of lethality a civil war like this will bring down. Me personally, I certainly don't want to see a civil war break out, and my old ass doesn't want to have to strap it on again, but many of us will in a heartbeat to defend this great nation as we once did before.
Terrorism is unacceptable coming from DC politicians who are colluding with these companies and these companies who are LITERALLY ENGAGED IN ACTIVE TERRORISM AND ELECTION FRAUD IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
In closing I will say only this.... FREEDOM IS NOT FREE ~

A confidential memo for defeating Trump by working with the major social-media platforms to eliminate “right wing propaganda and fake news” was presented in January 2017 by Media Matters founder David Brock at a retreat in Florida with about 100 donors, the Washington Free Beacon reported at the time.
David Brock graduated from UC Berkeley and is a liberal DemocRAT who founded Media Matters for America (MMA) with Bill and Hillary Clinton's assistance. MMA operates from a posh Washington office space with a multi-million-dollar budget and is unparalleled at maintaining rich liberals' loyalty and support. Brock was integral to Hillary's run for the presidency in 2008 and 2016.
Brock who was formerly the domestic partner of William Grey until their relationship ended in a bitter, three-year-long legal battle in which "Brock and Grey traded angry accusations, ... replete with charges of blackmail, theft and financial malfeasance."
Brock's a bitter DemocRAT libturd fag.

I'd have some hope if there weren't so many RINOs. I just don't see how we can beat the libtards, and the pretend conservatives at the same time. Not to mention that we've already seen countless times that the two-party system becomes a one-party system real quick, anytime something threatens to change the game, or clean up the swamp. I don't think we escape this communist, fascist vortex that's sucking us down, until the mob sees just how bad it can get. Best we can hope for is a rubberband effect that ends with a bunch of limousine liberals and RINOs getting sock puppeted down Pennsylvania Ave like Qaddafi.

In reply to No loss to me I don't use…by Bill of Rights
That is a good question. The answer is yes, but there is basically no censorship that I can find in the comments section. Some posters do get banned because they are really annoying, off topic and insensible. But that is rare.
The big difference it ZH is a teeny tiny website, nowhere near the size and scope of the behemoths. ZH is just it's own little echo chamber, but that is not by design. Since ZH is probably not owned by billionaires, and because its reach is so small, there isn't any need to censor.
But in this world, the truth is a real liability to the dark powers, and they are the ones holding the billions and trillions and the power over the govt, and so on, and they have their own ideas about the way things are supposed to be, so, yeah, if ZH ever got THAT big, it'd be bought out by some satanic azhl, and they'd hire the homosexual behavior addicts and misc 'progs' to run it, and eventually it'd become another crappy website.
