Announcement from Patrick @ 21Wire today: "Earlier this week, both our Facebook and YouTube accounts were temporarily suspended - on the same day. For how long is unclear, because they've kept extending it with new ‘violations’ being dug up from old posts. There was suddenly a whole slew 'Community Guidelines' strikes on posts from both accounts - so clearly someone (either an external vexatious actor, or done in-house at FB & YT) has doxxed both accounts and flagged material as supposed "Covid misinformation" - posts which had been sitting there for many months to a year, and which was pretty moderate material comapred to much of what's out there. I've appealed, but there's been no response. Im not surprised. Add to this our recent lifetime suspension from Twitter (disappearing a very popular account with 92K followers) and it's become pretty clear that the Silicon Valley's censorship regime is gamed in order to enforce a corporativist (DuckDuckGo that word to understand its history) agenda, and to eliminate any viable opposition to this agenda. If you mount a coherent challenge to the underlying premise of either the Vaccine Passport or the PCR Test, or if you succinctly challenge this runaway transnational pharmaceutical corporate agenda, then you're going to be targeted by professional doxxers and by Big Tech's censorship boiler rooms. Likewise, if you give a platform to any credible or qualified doctors or scientists to give their professional opinion which runs counter to this new globalist programme - then you will be targeted by this corrupt machine. But if you play the corporate game and just do inconsequential milquetoast talk shows - then you'll be promoted by these same platforms and given the largest possible audience. Unfortunately, those are the rules of that corrupt fiefdom which feigns open mindedness & democratic values, and until that corrupt corporate culture changes, then that's what we're going to keep getting. Meanwhile, real independent journalists are singled out for harsh, prohibitive treatment and arbitrary censorship. This is no different than any garden variety authoritarian regime. So we'll try and develop new channels on some other alt platforms, but it's not the same - it's not easy starting from scratch after spending 10 years building-up a large following & so many personal relationships on the main platforms. If we knew they would be changing their censorship policies so radically would we have put in so much effort before? Probably, because if you are committed to pursuing the truth, no matter how uncomfortable and ugly it tends to be, then you need to be constantly fighting to be heard. Conversely, if you've got nothing to say, then you don't need to fight to be on the major platforms - as you’ll be given full access to their corporate metaverse. It's not an even playing field, but we can't be shocked anymore by this. It's about political control, that's all. Regardless, we'll keep fighting to get back on those platforms, and on all fronts in general - not just because we deserve to be heard in the public square, but because there are a lot people want us to be heard there too.
