  • Conservative Cleansing

    From Aaron Thomas@1:275/99 to All on Fri Jan 15 23:31:22 2021
    A friend pointed out to me today that non-mainstream conservative sites are
    now blocked from being linked in Facebook messenger.

    In other words, if I send you a private message linked to any conservative website (excluding news sites) the link will be blocked and the other person will not get your link. But if you link to something liberal, it will work fine.

    On top of that, today, same day, my wife told me that whatsapp blocked a message she sent to one of her friends because it contained the word "coronavirus." Aparently, the left now owns the sole rights to use that word
    if you're on their platform.

    If all this crap is an effort to thwart an attack on the government, then I'll forgive them for this - but it looks more to me like the left is going to extreme measures to hide things from people at this moment.

    What kind of stuff could be out there!? Hillary's email? Hunter's laptop? Somebody is going to get exposed real soon!

    What's up with the alleged Antifa/BLM supporter arrested for the Capitol Riot? Could this all be the work of some Democrat allies? To cover up election
    fraud? "Impeach him before he exposes us!"

    Hello Aaron,

    Terrorist sites should always have been blocked from facebook.
    Too bad it didn't happen earlier.

    That's censorship which leads to tyranny.

    Teh Constitution says Freedom of Speech only applies to how the Government treats speech. Private companies and citizens can censor whoever they want for whatever reason they want.

    I don't see the government offering any sort of social media for the people to use instead, so don't those Private media companies have a social responsibility to be impartial? If the bakery won't make your gay wedding cake, you can go to another bakery. If Facebook, Twitter, and Amazon's servers don't want to host you, then you're pretty much fucked for accessing the majority of people.

    You worry too much. In case you didn't know, private citizen
    Donald J. Trump will be starting his own social media platform
    very soon. And I am sure he wants all (including you) to join
    in all the fun.
