Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History
Did you know Facebook has a board that decides whether silencing someone’s right to free speech was fair and just?
It’s like it’s totally not just an arbitrary decision made by a multinational billionaire corporation.
AP:
Former President Donald Trump won’t return to Facebook — for now.
The social network’s quasi-independent Oversight Board voted to uphold his ban from the platform after his account was suspended four months ago for inciting violence that led to the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
(“Oversight Board” is a proper noun for some reason.)
While upholding the suspension, the board faulted Facebook for the way it made the decision.
The board said the ongoing risk of serious violence justified Facebook’s suspension at the time, but said it “was not appropriate for Facebook to impose an ‘indefinite’ suspension.”
The board said Facebook was seeking to avoid its responsibilities by applying “a vague, standardless penalty” and then referring the case to the board to resolve.
The board agreed with Facebook that that two of Trump’s Jan. 6 posts “severely violated” the content standards of both Facebook and Instagram.
“We love you. You’re very special,” he said in the first post, and “great patriots” and “remember this day forever” in the second. Those violated Facebook’s rules against praising or supporting people engaged in violence, the board said.
My grandfather had a saying about skipping pointless formalities – he would say “let’s not and say we did.”
That phrase comes to mind when seeing the media say anything about the January 6 block party and knowing that there is some need to compare it to Black Lives Matter literally burning down entire city blocks across the entire country.
We all get it; there is an absolute, remarkable double standard at work. It is no longer necessary to point that out, and it is no longer funny to joke about it. If you want to see someone keep making those same jokes over and over again, go check up with Mark Dice. He’s still playing the classics, all night long. He’s even still on YouTube. Still making fun of Ben Shapiro.
I can’t do it.
The January 6 v BLM thing – it’s too much.
Facebook presenting a board, on the other hand – that is interesting. It’s interesting because this is the future. Everything is being privatized as part of this communist (?) agenda, and corporate “quasi-independent Oversight Boards” are going to be playing a big role in everyone’s life.
- Banned from the grocery store for not presenting proper vaxx credentials? Oversight Board!
- Refused access to a turnpike because a tranny reported you for not having sex with him once you discovered his feminine penis? Oversight Board!
- Blacklisted from all employment after a black person said you looked at them funny? Oversight Board!
This is a meme that the corporations have focus-grouped that is intended to make their arbitrary decisions about what rights you’re allowed to exercise seem somehow based on some notion of justice or fairness.
They realize that they now exercise such immense power over you that they need to justify it – somehow.
These people can destroy businesses, they can destroy politicians, they can utterly ruin lives. Personally, I would have preferred to serve a year or two in jail to being banned like I was banned. If someone had offered me the choice, “18 months in jail or a permanent ban from all normal internet usage,” I wouldn’t even have had to think about it.
It’s the same thing with the vaxx.
These tech companies are much more powerful than any government, and Western governments have chosen not to question that power. But they will need to continue to justify it for as long as anyone thinks it is wrong for corporations to have this kind of ability to decide people’s lives for them.
