Gateway Pundit permanently BANNED by Twitter as Tech PURGE continues - Feb. 6, 2021  by Fred T  42 Comments -  Jim Hoft, known as the Gateway Pundit, a very long-time blogger, right wing entrepreneur, and former White House press corps credentialed website owner, has been banned from Twitter. Just the latest among many to fall to the site’s “routine maintenance” of purging the right.  Naturally, the human ventriloquist dummy known colloquially as simply “Dolliver” is elated......... Anyhow, for now the purge continues. Even after Time ADMITS there was a conspiracy, you can still get banned for talking about the “outcome” of the “election.”...............

 Censorship Inc. – YouTube Memory Holes COVID Treatment Videos -  By Pennel Bird February 06, 2021 -  As a rogue wave of censorship breaks hard across the landscape of American life, two videos of doctors testifying under oath in the Senate on various COVID treatments were swept away in the suppressive social media tsunami. Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) held hearings in 2020 to provide a forum for experts from the medical world to discuss various drug protocols that have shown promise or success combatting COVID-19 – the symptomatic expression of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. But Google-owned YouTube recently saw fit to black-hole the videos, citing “inappropriate content” – the vaguely obtuse and nefariously non-specific phrase increasingly weaponized against free speech.

The maddeningly uneven application of platform “standards” seems only to impact those on the right and anyone else who gainsays the menu of views it is acceptable to hold – according to four guys in Silicon Valley named Mark, Jack, Tim, and Sundar. Curious that. The new normal of content curated according to the personal politics of our Big Tech Overlords feels fascist on its face and yet alarmingly apt for this American moment.  Senator Johnson tweeted:............

Journalists Mobilize Against Free Speech - by Armin Rosen January 24, 2021 - A new generation of media crusaders clamor for government control over what you see, hear, and read—and for banning their competition.   American journalism once thought of itself as being inherently and institutionally pro free speech. Visitors to the Newseum, the media industry’s temple of self-glorification on Constitution Avenue in Washington, were once greeted with the First Amendment inscribed across 74 vertical feet of lofty marble. The Newseum has been closed since late 2019, its operators having discovered the hard way that the public doesn’t share the media’s heroic level of regard for itself.

The museum was an anachronism in more ways than one: The idea that journalists themselves look upon the constitutional right to free expression with quasi-religious awe is nearly as quaint as the idea the media could be the basis for a major D.C. tourist attraction. A publicly beloved press that earnestly believes in free speech now feels like it belongs to some fictive era of good feelings. These days, the American public distrusts the media more than it ever has.........

Twitter CFO: Even If Elected President Again, Trump Banned From Twitter -By Hank Berrien Feb 10, 2021   DailyWire.com - Speaking on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Twitter CFO Ned Segal said former President Donald Trump, whose account was permanently suspended from Twitter on January 8, will never be allowed back on the platform. “Squawk Box” host Rebecca Quick asked, “Former President Trump was banned. If he came back and ran for office again and was elected president, would you allow him back on the platform?”  Segal answered, “So, the way our policies work, when you’re removed from the platform, you’re removed from the platform, whether you’re a commentator, whether you’re a CFO, or you are a former or current public official. So, remember, our policies are designed to make sure that people are not inciting violence, and if anybody does that we would have to remove them from the service and our policies don’t allow people to come back.”.........
