Mass coordinated bannings across Reddit, YouTube, and Twitch

Bannings

Particularly telling is Reddit's new rule on how people can be banned for hate speech directed at others identity:
...While the rule on hate protects such groups, it does not protect all groups or all forms of identity. For example, the rule does not protect groups of people who are in the majority or who promote such attacks of hate...

Good luck out there, Martin.

I was Restricted 2x in 3 days last week. Fingers crossed. Can’t have people with guns protecting their property, and must not question mandatory face-masks.

Ban-supporters (Communists) want to use this forum to say it’s okay without recognizing the hypocrisy.

We're just "lucky" they're only censoring ... for now.

Yep. the whole "equality" message is nothing but a Trojan horse for the real objective. Revenge and reparations. Anyone that believes it is about equality is being fooled.

Edit: revenge and reparations for things that happened before any of us were even born. So it's rally just an attempt to take whatever they can get away with.

My wife keeps trying to talk about this as if the Communists were reasonable & honest. I keep telling her to think of this as a foreign invasion.

For reference:

Reddit just banned r/The_Donald, the largest pro-Trump subreddit, as it cracks down on hate speech and targeting
https://www.businessinsider.com/reddit- ... ech-2020-6

Richard Spencer, Stefan Molyneux, David Duke Banned From YouTube For Hate Speech
https://screenrant.com/youtube-richard- ... nnel-bans/

Amazon’s video site Twitch suspends Trump’s channel, citing ‘hateful conduct’
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/29/amazons ... nduct.html

... all on the same day.

And before the "welp, private enterprise bwahahah" people chime in, I'm not suggesting that they don't have the right, or that it's illegal (although reddit stating that hate speech can be applied to whites ...er "majorities" ... but no one else seems legally dubious to me). I'm just pointing out that it's what's up. That's where we are. That's what private enterprise is doing. So people can inform their reactions accordingly.

They need their carve-out removed, the gears of which have started moving.

I wonder who the biggest investor in Tech might be? Hmmm, only 5 off-Shore holding companies know for sure...
