*** Google, as well as the rest of Big Tech and Big Social Media, based on disclosure from multiple executives in key strategic positions, all admit that there is clear partisan bias and censorship against conservatives. In the first video, the guy's job is to sell advertising and he won't do it because of the political belief of the person on the phone asking for service. The money trail indicates that Big Tech and Big Social Media all lean left and the "Tasks" and "Centra" systems ensure that the average American ( 70 percent of them who use social media as their main news source of information) is being tracked and force fed content they didn't expect or want or realize is targeted and you are not "given a chance to change your mind" Only one type of political ideology is functionally allowed to work or survive the work culture in these companies, which are the most powerful private corporations in the entire free world. And now they've just, as of current events, just systematically tried to wipe out their main competition that housed Conservative viewpoints. And yet despite all this,  Conservatives are still pushing to find a way to communicate with each other.

I was at Parler from the beginning, I know many of the pundits and heavy hitters, I also know many of those with their platforms taken away and been demonetized for their political views for the crime of not subscribing to a leftist ideology. Multiple fall backs were built in private from the beginning.

The goal has always been clear from the beginning at Parler in private - Anyone who is Anti-Conservative and punishes Conservatives for the crime of having a different political opinion will be demonetized. In 4-5 years, there will be browsers and apps up that will filter in pro Conservative businesses and blacklist out anyone who carries anti-Conservative / cancel culture / full woke leanings.  Any business in the near future that allows political discussion in the public, when it's not a dedicated political business and that choice was optional, is committing financial suicide. Money is the line where political tribalism will be drawn. This is legal and the only "vote" that matters in America. When you close your wallet, people take notice. When many close their wallets, people pay attention. When millions close their wallets, people realize the real cost of the cancel culture when their children's plates have no food on them.

The cancel culture is real, my message to all Conservatives is not to argue. You aren't going to change the mind of those on the left, they won't change your mind either. Only discuss facts, data, video, articles, links, transcripts, charts, etc, etc. Live a life that is exemplary so there's nothing to cancel. Just close your wallet. Don't shop at that store, don't eat at that restaurant, don't watch that movie, don't listen to that song, don't read that book, cancel your subscription, push your time and money elsewhere. That's when others will finally listen. Let your wallets and your feet be your loudest voice. This is the truest form of dissent in a capitalistic society. **

apple and amazon join google in suspending parler

....Jeff Bezos’ company kicked Parler off its web hosting services, meaning that if Parler doesn’t find another host, the social media platform will go offline starting Sunday, BuzzFeed News reported.....

When our government is assaulted and a group of people are using your company to proliferate lies, continue to claim an election was stolen, storm the Capitol, and begin to organize a plan to do it again, I think removing them from your platform is reasonable and necessary.

I agree.  I also have a problem with the influence of big tech.

 

[Terminalxylem]

I agree.  I also have a problem with the influence of big tech.

Sites like parler have almost certainly crossed the shouting fire in a crowded theater threshold, so I have no problem with their influence being restricted. But it’s unacceptable how search algorithms and social media effectively censor the information we see and shape our worldview.

When you have Bill Gates and Zuckerberg type of money, you don't care about the customer base.  To everyone else, Republicans buy sneakers also.

This is where reasonable people understand that these two beliefs are compatible and can coexist, whereas extremists will insist it's all or nothing in either direction.  The Q folks have crossed a line and Parler was continuing to enable them.  Also, Big Tech wields undue influence and the Congressional hearings held just last year should be revisited.

 

[GoBirds]

At least they are finally being honest about their biased censorship I guess.....until Congress changes you know they won’t address any issues that benefit them.
