    Big Tech now is coming after everyday conservatives

    Rachel Alexander notes it's no longer just 'rowdy right-wingers' getting shadow-banned

    Many of us thought "that could never happen to me" when rowdy right-wingers like Laura Loomer and Gavin McInnes were banned from social media. We are careful and polite about what we post. Surely, Big Tech sees how reasonable we are and would never come after us the same way.


    Not so anymore. Big Tech is now starting to label regular conservative viewpoints as false and using that as justification to censor and even permanently ban us.


    They are threatening to ban conservatives for posting things that left-leaning fact checkers say have a very remote possibility of not being true. For example, I posted a meme on Instagram (which is owned by Facebook) which said that if the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had retired at age 80, President Obama would have appointed a progressive to replace her. Seems pretty noncontroversial and straightforward, right?

    I've noticed more deleted posts on Facebook that seem to be "iffy" deletes.

    Conservative techies probably need to launch their own social media sites that treat everyone fairly. For liberals, this is all a part of social engineering, and they see nothing wrong with it.

    There are several discussion forums similar to this one which will ban a member when they post any comment which demonstrates that they are not a liberal.

    The left can’t survive outside of the liberal echo chamber.

    They want program algorithms to do the work, including wherever they have no answers. In other words, answers will have to fit the algorithms.

    Sadly USA 2020 is much more Totalitarian then USSR 1980. We told Brezhnev jokes without consequences.

    Sadly most Conservatives are too kind to take a stand against Totalitarianism.

    Ouch!

    Modern Left is mostly Totalitarian Left.

    Classical Liberals are very few. But we are here.

    No, but there are similarities between the American media and the former Soviet Union state media.

    The difference is -- in USSR after Stalin very few of those who criticized Communism were penalized in any way.

    Class Clown #1 age 12 joked about Lenin. He was only asked to stand outside class for remainder of one school period. Class Clown #1 age 12, the Future CCitizen would not dare joke about Lenin in class.

    I don't understand why that hasn't happened already.
