This morning I opened up the news app to see lifehacker supporting censorship of infowars They are saying it is time to "quit twitter" and to start boycotting fortune 500 companies by creating a mass block list. Their mode of attack is that if their demands are not met they are going to go out of their way to create massive blocklists that boycott Fortune 500 companies on twitter and block them.

Censorship attitude in the USA

We are seeing campaigns of targeted censorship becoming the norm as anti-freespeech, hate, and outrage "mobs" gain traction. Overall these groups are an extreme minority, but their voice and will are amplified by subverting large platforms, which give them the ability to make them seem like they are larger than they are.

Make no mistake, infowars is going to be taken out on as many platforms as they can get to capitulate. Infowars being taken down will cement their power and feed into their sense of accomplishment. People like to be on the winning team and bandwagon on stuff like this, if they truly succeed in de-platforming infowars from twitter and the remaining places they have left, then infowars only will have their website and BitChute/Gab/Minds.

And boy oh boy are they going to try hard to de-platform on there too.

De-platforming GAB from internet hosting(Microsoft Azure).

Recently GAB was mass reported to the webhosting provider that they use(Microsoft Azure). The post in question was about Jews being raised as livestock. I am sure not many people understand why this is a big deal. But I will explain.

You see, Reddit does something similar to this.If you violat Reddit's rules your account or subreddit can be banned. They ban subreddits who do not respond fast enough to deleting content that goes against their rules, no matter how dumb of a rule it is. An easy way to silence a subreddit is to create dummy accounts or sockpuppets, and make lots of comments that break reddit's rules. You would do this in such a way that people don't notice your comment, you would comment on something at the bottom of a post so many people won't see it and report it. Then you screenshot it and upload to somewhere else, and you start spreading the message of "see look how racist/homophobic/blah this subreddit is when they let comments like this stay here".

This is GOING to be used against Gab to shut them down overall. Of course there are people that truly post stuff that incites violence and they aren't sockpuppet accounts, and you have to play within the rules of that system to stay in the system(or you get banned).

Radicals love using this tactic and it will be a tactic that will be implemented against infowars/gab/minds/steemit.com and anything you can think of. They will continue to ramp up their sockpuppet calls for violence in order to get everything banned they disagree with.

How I see things going on censorship/steemit and the future.

Censorship is going to continue to ramp up, all thought leaders and big names will be targeted and slammed as much as possible in an effort to 100% de-platform them. I am seriously saying 100% de-platform, no webhosting, no social media, no anything. That is the goal the radical marxists are implementing. Censorship on a massive scale with algorithms pushing down will be ramped up over the next few years to a degree you will not think is possible.

Steemit, I fully expect all of us to be permanently banned from steemit as some point. If you have not read their terms of service I suggest that you do that now, 13. Suspension or Termination of Service.

13.1. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services in our sole discretion, immediately and without prior notice, and delete or deactivate your steemit.com account and all related information and files in such without cost to you, including, for instance, if you breach any term of this Agreement. In the event of termination, your access to the funds in your account will require you access to the Steem blockchain via the command line API or third party tool, and will require you to have access to your backup of your Account data including your Account and Private Keys.

If you do not think that you will be banned or targeted, and for some reason that "Steemit is the good guys all about free speech" I got some more bad news for you. Some of you may also recall that Steemit says in their Privacy Policy that they will turn you into your local/state/federal government if requested, and that they will comply with identifying you To which they never responded to my comment because it makes them look bad

Once steemit starts purging the undesirables like us at some point(because sjws/marxists will target us to accomplish this), our posts will stop showing up on steemit.com and only show up on busy.org or steempeak or mspsteem. Not many people use those platforms so it cuts down your views by a super majority, effectively censoring you.

The future is bright though! More alternatives are being developed and brought out of alpha/beta into main release. We are seeing the transition of https://minds.com from the Ethereum testnet going live on mainnet soon, https://memo.cash is a twitter like social media on Bitcoin Cash blockchain, other Webtorrent/torrent sites are gaining traction like BitChute/Real.video/Dtube/Dlive/etc.

But the future is only bright if you help build up the decentralized infrastructure and convert people away from centralized tech, be the change you seek in this world and help us!
