It takes time to get on top social network radar, but its impossible to get on three at the same time, without some sort of coordinated effort. In other words - it obvious that getting banned by FB, YT and Apple altogether within 24 hours IS coordinated; the only question: what massages are there networks trying to send ?
PS. I am not fan of Jones show, just like I am not fan of KKK that still existing in USA; but I do remember what Niemöller wrote.

"Jews will not replace us" and "Blood and Soil" are literally Nazi slogans. I don't think Niemöller was worried about the persecution of Nazis...

- themagician 8y agoYou could re-write that quote to apply in this situation: First they came for the trolls, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a troll. Then they came for the shitposts, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a shitposter. Then they came for the memes, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Memer. Then they came for me—but there was no one left to like my posts.
