Freedom of Speech is gone in America

Prepare for Communism. WE saw it when Twitter and Facebook limited our speech. WE saw it when they deleted President Trump and now they are onto us again.

I am a supporter of President Trump. I saw the warnings that people were being booted from Youtube, Twitter and Facebook along with other sites. I followed along and saw that many accounts were posting memes in order to get around the bots that these sites were putting up. People on these sites were also planning on putting up duplicate profiles to go around the ban.

Remember that Jack Dorsey and dumbass Mark Zuckerberg said they were NOT censoring or banning differences of opinion. bull crap.

Around election time, I posted my thoughts on Facebook in a few posts-nothing incendiary. During inauguration, I posted my thoughts about the election results. I was immediately in jail. I sent a link to a website to a friend in messenger and was banned. First the email said until Jan 23rd then indefinitely and now I am banned until Jan 23rd.

I can remove friends, unfollow people and view and that is all I can do. Last night, I found jewelry at our mailboxes and I was unable to contact anyone on messenger or post on the HOA group about the jewelry and where they can find it.

If you think this is right, you are delusional. I have removed my profile from Twitter, Apple removed the platform Parler and I will be posting less on Facebook

We are in serious times.

Facebook and Twitter are [b]private companies[/b] enforcing their own rules.

This is the OPPOSITE OF COMMUNISM

What you -want- is communism, which is where the government owns those businesses and can pass rules telling them what they can and can't censor.

@akindheart Well yeah they're going to say "No we only do nice things." Because they're allowed to. Free market.

This is capitalism. These huge companies have so much control over what we can say to each other and who gets to see what we say. And we let it happen because we love capitalism and the free market.

And now there are consequences. Maybe we don't like the free market so much now?
