The big tech companies are going full Nazi.
Sad!

Yet the people who yell Nazi at every offense don't care. In fact, they are the ones who want the totalitarianism. Sad!

Report: Google Runs ‘Blacklists’ Designed to Remove ‘Fringe Domains’ Like Breitbart News

A new report claims that Google runs two blacklists, designed to remove “fringe domains” and op-eds from featured snippets at the top of Google search results. Sites included on the blacklist include Breitbart News and the American Spectator.

Social media platform Twitter has reportedly temporarily suspended the account of investigative journalism group Project Veritas following its publication of internal documents from Silicon Valley company Pinterest.

Breaking News: Twitter has decided that investigative journalism is in violation of their terms of service – @Project_Veritas has been temporarily suspended from posting for tweeting internal communications from @Pinterest which show them calling @benshapiro a "white supremacist"

A person familiar with the situation told Breitbart News that the Project Veritas account was locked for violating the Twitter Rules, specifically the private information policy , but clarified that Project Veritas was not locked out due to the content of their communications.

Youtube just banned the Project Veritas video on the Pinterest Whistleblower revelations.

YouTube Censors Tim Pool Video on Project Veritas’ Pinterest Exposé

YouTube took down a video from independent journalist Tim Pool discussing Project Veritas’ recent interview with an insider at social media platform Pinterest, who exposed anti-Christian bias at the company.

Pool said that unlike other video takedowns, YouTube tried to remove his video quietly, without notifying him.

Exclusive: Facebook’s Process to Label You a ‘Hate Agent’ Revealed

Paul Joseph Watson eventually was categorized as “hateful” and banned from the platform, in part, because he praised Tommy Robinson and interviewed him on his YouTube channel. Star conservative pundit Candace Owens and conservative author and terrorism expert Brigitte Gabriel were also on the list, as were British politicians Carl Benjamin and Anne Marie Waters.

Facebook may categorize you as a hate agent merely for speaking neutrally about individuals and organizations that the social network considers hateful. In the document, Facebook tags Benjamin with a “hate agent” signal for “neutral representation of John Kinsman, member of Proud Boys” on October 21 last year.

Facebook also accuses Benjamin, a classical liberal and critic of identity politics, as “representing the ideology of an ethnostate” for a post in which he calls out an actual advocate of an ethnostate.

Black Pigeon Speaks is back after being purged by YouTube for a day.

The good news is that Google, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Wordpress, etc are all dramatically undermining their own credibility, driving users to alternate sites, and making it perfectly clear that the convenience of centralized platforms comes at a very steep cost in terms of freedom.

Didn't they call Gab a racist bastion or some nonsense?

Gab should sue for antitrust

I added a bunch more names, thanks @WillPowers

All this just hastens the decentralization of the Media. It's wonderful. Never interrupt your enemy when they make mistakes.

I added a link to Roissy, the pseudonym of the author of Chateu Heartiste, in the Wikipedia:

Exactly. No one was ever banned from patrick.net for political reasons, and no one ever will be.

I have banned people who just can't stop attacking the other users personally, over and over and over...

Pool explains the circumstance in full.

While Tim Pool associates himself with the left and supports most liberal causes, he has been a outspoken critic of the left censorship of conservative views. In his interview with Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey, Pool criticized him and his platform to his face. Then added what was really scary was, not only were right-wing voices being silenced, but left-wing voices were being silenced as well. Now he can add his own name to that list.

I agree that censorship is bad, but where do you draw the line for private companies? Is FOX news censorship? Is Trump blocking people on twitter censorship?

WillPowers says

Yup. It's anyone who is anti-leftist-establishment, that means many right wing establishment types will be censored , as well as all free thinkers on both sides.

Totalitarianism starts by robbing those that are deplorable to the masses. Once they have their tools in place, anyone who doesn't comply will be oppressed. Eventually they will also be imprisoned and killed.

History is incredibly clear about the trajectory we are currently on. It's a road to hell, paved w the good intentions of the brainwashed. Currently that's anyone who agrees w CNN/MSNBC and the rest of the lying media.

The above mentioned free thinking leftists hate CNN as much as Trump supporters. See Tim Poole as an example

joeyjojojunior says

Nope, a TV channel that isn't a user-based social media can't censor users by definition: One-way communication

An individual user CAN block people who are harassing them, necessary for the platform itself.

Since there are already tools (as well as blocklists) for users to block content they don't want to see, there's no reason for Social Media companies to block anybody.

No hard to parse.

In fact, not only does Twitter allow blocking by User, it allows blocking by words. Users can disappear tweets containing terms and never see them.

If Twitter can block users for their perspectives, then bakers can refuse to bake cakes based on perspectives, no?

Shared illusions can be a powerful social device to make people feel connected to each other. For example, when Star Wars fans dress up, stand in line for hours, and then watch a new movie, they’re sharing an illusion, a fantasy, an alternative reality whose particulars are agreed upon and known.

I’m starting to understand the mindset of the willingly brainwashed. They want above all, to make sure that people around them understand the world in the same way they do. They want to share the same illusion, delusion, or fantasy as everyone else. And they know that the best way to achieve this is to hold hard to whatever ideology that Authority is preaching, then shame and denigrate anyone with a different viewpoint.
It’s not that they disagree with you, it’s that they really want everyone to think the same way, and find it offensive when other narratives are put forward.

You see, other competing narratives break their shared fantasy about the world into tiny pieces! Rather than relaxing with a comfortable fantasy, they’re suddenly thrust into a world of unknowns, of multiple interpretations, and many possible definitions.

This is why it’s so impossible to convince one of these sheeple that their ideology is wrong, even when it’s ridiculous on its face! To them, it’s not about the truth or reality! They just crave a shared illusion!

I propose that we just “Baaaaaa” at these sad souls and let them stew in their mired thoughts.

Thanks again @WillPowers !

Thanks Quigley.

I was eating deli for Father's Day, saw a stereotypical hipster walk by with some Comic Book BS shirt on. Had to have been at least 30 years old.

Grownass men (and women) who never gave up comic books/action figures/anime, not even for a few years as teens/college students/young people, is part of this "Create your own reality" shit we're seeing.

I see grownass men and women with their cubes all decked out in Spider Man and Batman and shit, I'm like WTF.

The Bible talks about "Putting away childish things". I'm not talking about a nostalgia wave parents/grandparents get when kids enter their lives, but mostly childless hipster bastards.

That shit was unacceptable when I was 13, you'd be the laughingstock of the dorm if you decked out your dorm that way. REALLY nerdy guys might get a pass, but it's gone way beyond that contingent now.

There's a permanent adolescence today that is relatively new (seen only among very autistic people in former eras).

Don't be delusional. Nobody got banned ever who didn't break the law. People left on their own volition mostly because Patrick didn't give them global mod rights or because a few of their personal posts were flagged.

By law, you mean the made up rules of the website owner? Again, that's exactly what Twitter, Facebook, Pintrest, etc. say.

How is it not 100% hypocritical for Patrick to complain???

Yep, the Supreme Court ruled on that one I'm pretty sure.

Yes, an apple isn't an orange. So what? A TV channel can only allow certain viewpoints to make it on their airwaves, thereby censoring content. Same as youtube.

Not at all. The TV produces it's own content, doesn't allow people to start accounts and upload videos about makeup, twerking, old Gary Numan music videos, or SJWs to their 8PM timeslot.

The only bans have been for deliberately personally insulting other users over and over. And spammers, but they are robots as a rule.

joeyjojojunior says

Easy, it's because Twitter and other corporate sites ban people explicitly because of their points of view.

That is absolutely never done on patrick.net.

Apple Bans Gab from App Development After Company Makes Antitrust Case to DOJ

Tech giant Apple banned the developer account of free speech-focused social media network Gab, preventing the company from creating apps for iPhones and other Apple devices, shortly after the startup submitted a complaint to the Department of Justice about Big Tech’s anti-competitie business practices.

Breitbart News spoke with the CEO of Gab.com, Andrew Torba, about the company’s recent developments. As Torba wrote on Twitter, the free speech social media platform recently submitted a complaint to the DOJ which it hopes will spark an investigation into the business practices of the Masters of the Universe in Silicon Valley. Gab aimed to question if these firms were acting in a deliberately anti-competitive manner against smaller “alt-tech” businesses, and Apple’s recent actions may have proven Gab’s point.

Don't be silly. TV networks buy content, just like youtube. This should be obvious when shows move from one network to another.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. Your moderators absolutely banned people by disabling their ability to post because of their political views.

Patrick says

They ban people because they violate their terms of service, just like Pat.net claims to do. Either sites can have their own rules, or they can't. Which is it?

joeyjojojunior says

That's a lie. And you know it. Plenty of left wingers still posting incl. yourself. Why carry on a lie?

Bingo.

Please make a point (not about any other user) and see if it gets banned.

It won't.

Scott Adams demonitized on YouTube whenever he mentions the "fine people" hoax, referring to the Charlottesville confrontation where a woman died as a result of a white nationalist running her over with a car. After the attack the quote from Trump everyone refers to is "There were good people on both sides," but if you listen to the whole quote he condemns white supremacists.

joeyjojojunior says

Sometimes no reason is given. Scott Adams recently noticed every time he posted a video that mentions the "fine people" hoax, in reference to Charlottesville demonstrations, his video is demonitized for no given reason. What other reason could it be, besides his conservative views?
