"It is actually sinister behaviour. Ours is one of the last independent companies that offer a place you may write down your thoughts free from having to worry about whether they are offensive to one group or another," the American said.

Watkins portrayed efforts against 8chan as part of the "power consolidation" of the internet by a few strong and rich companies.

"It will effectively silence the masses, and leave them with no place to voice their messages," Watkins said.


And it looks like https://8ch.net has been taken off line.

When we have no free speech at all, then it will be time to revolt against the leftist-globalist corporate oligarchy, re-establish the independence of the United States, and re-implement the First Amendment, this time seriously, preventing corporations and employers from muzzling the public and their employees.

One could argue that we have already reached the point of no meaningful free speech, with the firing of James Damore and untold others for peaceably expressing their opinions, and with the tech oligopolists censoring vast swathes of public opinion on a daily basis.
