The Big Tech monopolies were enormous donors to Biden. They will get what they bought, compliance from Biden and the Democratic party. This is just stage craft to make people feel like there is a struggle, when this is just about the state

Never in history have the people that ban books, words and thoughts been the "good guys". Why are those in power so frightened of having their power questioned?

That;s it! So 100% of the country in lockdown because only 30% even know of a person who has died? And how many of those 30% are the "friend of my cousin's friend's niece..." type knowing.

This is logical and nothing new. As a country we faced the same issue in the start of the 1900s when the railroads abused their monopoly access power and created the concept of the "common carrier" to level the playing field. Let&

100% correct. Journalists are just looking for the adulation and affirmation of their fellow progressives, and do so by attacking the weak and defending the powerful.

It is time to bury the term "fact checker" for good. Just call them what they are: partisan shills

You are correct, which is why facebook should be declared and utility and treated as such. Just like your power company cannot do whatever it wants for it's bottom line, neither should facebook

What are we investigating here? If we are investigating the market structure of equities and how that effected the shut down of trading to a specific class of investors, individuals, and not others, institutions, then absolutely Citadel is

Whether or not she should have accepted the fees is not relevant, the point is she should recuse herself from any investigation into companies that she has a personal business relationship with. That is basic ethics. What is the reason she

Our elites mislead all the time without repercussions. We are almost at the anniversary of " 2 weeks to flatten the curve". They lied and children have suffered. No school, no human contact. And it was all proven to be a failure.

I agree. There was a case that I cannot remember about a company town that banned people from handing out religious material in the town square, but the Supreme Court (I believe) decided that since the company was effectively taking the pla

In the United States there is not such thing as "hate speech". That is settled law.

"debunked conspiracy theories". Debunked by whom? Sadly the use of the term "conspiracy theory" is now just code for "facts I don't like". Given the scientific facts on the ground and the last year of data

Very happy for you guys. But do take this as a shot across the bow, if and when it serves Google's agenda to shut you down they will. You have a great service, don't let Google control you and be beholden to them.

In theory the recent Office of Comptroller of the Currency rule banning financial discrimination should stop that. But I am sure the current administration will be quick to reverse it. They like to use all tools to go after their political

Once you throw in "hate speech" you are just saying that censorship of things you don't like is ok.

Looks like a very cool project. Slightly off topic question, is there a reason the email providers like FastMail or Protonmail don't just include XMPP as part of their bundle?

That is exactly how I mean "virtue signaling". If they had a few people looking to use their services, which they hold themselves out to the public to offer, and they didn't want to, then they could just say no. To post a pub

I would respect these kind of virtual signaling messages if they provided any kind of balance. Maybe a throw away line like "whether you are in DC, or violently attempting to burn down the federal courthouse in Portland".

Yes. This is no different from the civil rights movement when we as a society asked, "is it right that a restaurant can refuse service to people they do not like?". In the end we decided no you cannot discriminate. Same thing need
