Ive been following a few stories lately and it seems that everything we all feared as free speech advocates has come true.
The left has taken control of our ability to disseminate information freely.
This happened gradually, one step at a time, it slowly creeped up on us in order to not alarm us greatly, but now its finally here.
Silicon valley, big tech companies are openly leftist and participate in left wing activism. That includes silencing right wing voices.
I wrote a post a few weeks back with undercover work by a Veritas where it shows Facebook moderators openly talking about how they are directly targeting any content related to Trump, conservatives and republicans.
But that was undercover journalism at the time. Now, they feel so confident that they even go out and openly say it:
Free speech is bad.
Heres a link to a New York Times article where the author does her absolute best to attack freedom of speech. Does seems she wants to have someone "regulate" speech on the internet. Preferably someone of her political beliefs.
The article is titled:
The Problem Of Free Speech In The Age Of Disinformation. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/13/magazine/free-speech.html
How have we ended up in this bizarro world? Seriously. You have left wing journalists calling for censorship. Editors of major mainstream journals going out their way, contacting social media companies to censor their ideological opponents.
Look at this absolute horseshit #Youtube posted on their blog. https://blog.youtube/news-and-events/harmful-conspiracy-theories-youtube
Quote:
Managing misinformation and harmful conspiracy theories is challenging because the content is always shifting and evolving. To address this kind of content effectively, it’s critical that our teams continually review and update our policies and systems to reflect the frequent changes. Today, we are taking another step in our efforts to curb hate and harassment by removing more conspiracy theory content used to justify real-world violence.
Is misinformation what you say it is? Is a harmful conspiracy theory what you say it is?
This written here can apply to anything. "Justify real world violence?"
ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING CAN ACT AS MOTIVATION FOR VIOLENT ACTION!
There is a difference between calling for violence against someone and stating what you believe in.
Calling for violence is already covered by law.
Has everyone forgotten this quote!?:
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"
Lets move to Twitter a bit.
There was a story that came out few days ago about leaked photos and emails from Joe Bidens scumbag son Hunter Biden. Emails about him being payed hundreds of thousands of dollars monthly just to maintain a connection between the Ukrainian energy company to his VP father at the time. You have photos of him smoking a crack pipe, theres a sex tape. Stuff like that.
What Twitter did after the article from new york post was released was ban sharing of the post, it locked the New York Post twitter account and said that they will not unlock it unless they delete all the posts related to Hunter Biden. They even changed policies in wake of this to justify the ban. Facebook also followed and demoted the post attempting to hide it pending the leftist "fact checkers" to come in.
This is beyond absurd and dangerous...
They are calling Trump a danger to democracy. They are calling him a tyrant while it is the left that is acting tyrannically.
Never has there been a time where free speech platforms like Threespeak, HIVE have been as needed as they are now.
what is that passed out dude smoking?
crack.
Photoshop
I didn't know you could smoke Photoshop
The MSM and silicon valley would love nothing more than to control speech entirely. Then they'll throw you in the gulag of you aren't in lockstep with their narrative for the day.
Exactly.
"Free speech only if i like what you say..."

The even trickier thing that's being done are all the factioned echo chambers being set up by the same larger organizations to appease the biases of each group. So then everyone who watches a particular set of media or is subscribed to various social media groups becomes brainwashed marionette men.
Yeah yeah but you are blobing shit anyway
What do you mean feared? This is the answer to all our prayers as Hive stakeholders. Hundreds of millions of people will begin an exodus from the dominant social media giants. Of only 500k of them end up as users of Hive-based DApps, each one of us holders will make a killing.

Youre being optimistic here. Theres still a huge gap in attention between crypto censorship resistant platforms and twitter, facebook.
We need another 2017 bull run. That will close the gap

A new bull run will begin next year.
Bull run is another optimism.
The platform just isn't as robust or else the exodus would be a constant migration for years already and still more years into the future. Few people come.. and people then go. Because the system is too basic to cater to a user that wants their new internet home in their hand:
HIVE unfortunately just doesn't offer that.
The experience relies on external systems and patchwork to even sort of resemble what they're used to. This is what people here don't want to discuss. The opportunity for mass adoption IS NOW! If only this Blockchain thing wasn't progressing so slow.
I was talking about this conundrum elsewhere and came up with a catch phrase which embodies blockchain (unfavourably but honestly) and so this is it:
Coders, teams and projects are good at boasting about what they think this tech can offer but not so many are actually delivering or even capable of delivering.
This is the major flaw and why those bull runs don't come in a seasonal manner. The other hard truth is that many are here thinking they're going to get rich over someone else. Hence the ones here stay loyal believing that a trickle of slow development is going to change much.
Good morning friend
"We've reached the point we feared. Censorship has taken over social media."
-Umm.. where have you been the last several years?
All this stuff coming out about Hunter Biden and Ukrainian natural gas companies was reported on and published by The Guardian during Obama's presidency. How do I know? Because I remember calling my parents who live not that far from Ukraine and telling them about it in the early 2010's. Most people just didn't bother reading the news back then and/or found the information about the structure of Ukrainian Natural Gas Company Board of Directors quite boring.
I can't comment anything about crack pipe allegations as those are new, though I am trying to understand the relevance towards international politics, if point #2 should be damning enough. The last part slightly seems like someone went "well the masses don't really give a sh** about the intricacies of an oligarchical natural resource company.. but they sure do hate the idea of drugs, so let's throw that in."
Finally, I read a few of your other posts, including one where you rant about the incorrect prioritization of being nice over other things. You've got the right idea and I'm glad you are a defender of what's correct in your mind over nice. But here's what I'll tell you:
Yeah.. it's shady as f*** what happened happened during the time Biden was VP. Biden should have NEVER been the presidential candidate. But that doesn't change the fact that you could've made this post without having the caption of your first image be "Sleepy Joe and his son, sleeping crackhead Biden." The guy is dead. Get some class, bro. It's more effective when you make your argument without name-calling.
Just my 2 cents before I get downvoted to oblivion for being "a leftist," while somewhere else getting downvoted to oblivion for being "a Trumper."
The world has lost all sense of intellectual examination. Just name-call the other side because they're evil, right?
Beau Biden has passed away. This latest smear campaign is against Hunter Biden.
Hunter Biden is not dead.
Biden is much better then Putins puppet, the red head crazy mizogen.
Theres a fair chance that Hillary and Biden are actually Putins puppets rather than Trump.
The Russia-Trump connection has been thoroughly debunked.
