The team at Rumble Video have taken a strong position in defense of free speech, an open internet and protection of a diverse public square.
Apparently, the French government demanded that Rumble remove content the government does not support. [Source] Rumble said no.
Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski then followed up delivering a statement via Twitter: “The French Government has demanded that Rumble (@rumblevideo) block Russian news sources. Like @elonmusk, I won’t move our goal posts for any foreign government. Rumble will turn off France entirely (France isn’t material to us) and we will challenge the legality of this demand.”
Pavlovski and Rumble being transparent and making the demand from the French government public raises a few questions.
Rumble said ‘no’, but who said ‘yes’?
The French Government has demanded that Rumble (@rumblevideo) block Russian news sources. Like @elonmusk, I won't move our goal posts for any foreign government.
Rumble will turn off France entirely (France isn't material to us) and we will challenge the legality of this demand. https://t.co/a4Nn4S1MMf

It would be highly unlikely that Rumble is the only tech platform the French government have contacted with their demands. What did the other platform providers do?
How many other ‘western‘ governments make demands on content from Big Tech platform providers that we do not know about?
On the domestic side, the issue of what France is demanding is essentially analogous with what the U.S. government (DHS) has been doing within the censorship discussion recently highlighted by The Intercept. However, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Google and Microsoft have not been open with the American people about these back-channel discussions and demands from the U.S. government.
Most of what we are now learning about government control over social media content is coming as a result of a lawsuit filed by the State of Missouri against the Biden administration.
(New York Post) – A little-noticed federal lawsuit, Missouri v. Biden, is uncovering astonishing evidence of an entrenched censorship scheme cooked up between the federal government and Big Tech that would make Communist China proud.
So far, 67 officials or agencies — including the FBI — have been accused in the lawsuit of violating the First Amendment by pressuring Facebook, Twitter and Google to censor users for alleged misinformation or disinformation.
Victims of the Biden-Big Tech “censorship enterprise” include The Post, whose Hunter Biden laptop exposé was suppressed by Facebook and then Twitter in October 2020 after the FBI went to Facebook, warning it with great specificity to watch out for a “dump” of Russian disinformation, pertaining to Joe Biden, with an uncanny resemblance to our stories.
“We allege that top-ranking Biden administration officials colluded with those social media companies to suppress speech about the Hunter Biden laptop story, the origins of COVID-19, the efficacy of masks, and election integrity,” is how the lawsuit was summarized by intrepid Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, who is leading the action.
The censorship related to alleged “misinformation” about pandemic lockdowns, vaccines and COVID-19, and included material from the esteemed infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists associated with the Great Barrington Declaration, which proved over time to be correct and eventually much of which was adopted as official policy by the CDC.
Defendants include FBI special agents Elvis Chan and Laura Dehmlow, who gave Facebook that detailed “disinformation” briefing right before The Post was censored; White House press secretaries, current and former, Karine Jean-Pierre and Jen Psaki; Dr. Anthony Fauci, the president’s chief medical adviser, and former White House senior COVID-19 adviser Andrew Slavitt; counsel to President Biden Dana Remus; the DHS over the disbanded Disinformation Governance Board; the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency; the FDA; the State Department; and the US Election Assistance Commission.
Last month a federal judge ordered a reluctant Fauci and Jean-Pierre to hand over their records, so the case is progressing nicely.(read more)
As various entities and Big Tech platforms prepare to launch lawfare litigation, a strategy built on threats, against any member of the Rebel Alliance who outlines the schemes and connections between government and Big Tech, they would be wise to reconsider the unstable cornerstone of their position…
From Sundance’s article: “However, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Google and Microsoft have not been open with the American people about these back-channel discussions and demands from the U.S. government.”
The reason EU Nations will have problems “hiding their relationships” is that the EU and lead EU Nations (UK, Germany and France) have openly (publicly) used the European Court System to shake down Big Tech platforms on a nearly annual basis …. for either faux “anti-trust” or “privacy” reasons … over the past 20 years.
Thus, Big Tech companies are still somewhat held at arms length from being participants in the EU Power Structure. While in the US, the camel’s nose was let under the tent flap 20 years ago and the camel now dominates the room.
Does social media need to have such an exit of users that it will collapse? I won’t care, as I left all social media years ago. Would it collapse?
It is no longer just “social media”.
Big Tech and ALL forms of “media” area a single entity or a very few groups of massive entities, which controls or attempts to control the life blood of the many, various daily decisions we all make … news and information.
Ownership is being consolidated to the point that even failed and diminished outlets will be funded to operate so long as they reach an audience of nearly any size. That is the advantage to the foundational money ALL coming from the same few purses.
While I love all the “independent” operators, do not loose sight of the fact that the owners of the computer centers, wires and transmitters (i.e. digital infrastructure) could snuff the signals any time they want. The owners are held back by the uncertainty of the global physical reaction by the public and their mercenary dual loyalties to the competing Global Factions at war (BRICS OPEC vs G7).
I think there problem is, they will be unable to get from where we ARE, to where they want us to BE.
I THINK they have a distorted view of the World, of US and of how much power they actually have, and where it comes from.
Hence, they will TRY, but in the end I don’t think THEY will be successful.
“their” problem… (see my post above) Dutch, you are better than this.
Praying you are correct!
“Last edited…” Not very well, apparently… “do not LOSE sight”.. Why is it so difficult to check BEFORE one posts?
It’s okay, Sturm. We speak Typo.
Lose/loose, border/boarder… very common posting typos. BTW, I like your monicker, LOL.
I love Dutchman’s posts. His typos do not bother me. You sound like a Karen.
GAB’s CEO talks about going up against Big Tech on his blog. He gives details about the owners of computer centers, wires, and transmitters, as well as banking, and was visited by the FBI too.
They’re held back by public opinion.
Big tech hosts fake news. Big tech has a vested financial interest in their monopoly. France has a vested financial interest in squeezing big tech.
Who benefits most? Big Tech, France, Germany, UK, or the Uniparty that squeezes everyone with a stealth tax(inflation), while holding themselves up as victims, as they sing Ukranian nationalist songs?
To answer we would need evidence of big tech colluding with fake news on foreign policy. From SD’s article yesterday…again, JMO.

I believe it would only collapse if government stopped directing and financing it.
Sorry–I mean leftist social media would implode absent government support. As we have seen, bots run strong in social media, meaning their user base is greatly exaggerated such that their financial viability is in question without manipulation.
Seems logical to me, but, as I am not on any ‘social media’….what to I know?
“what to I know?”

Finally telling the abuser, “You have no power over me.”
Remember MySpace? Nor do many other people…
Myspace was the most visited website in the US in 2008.
Myspace sold their chat room before it became worthless.
Friendster did the same. Xanga too. When Xanga became worthless, the original owners bought it back for a fraction, just for fun.
I’m not saying Musk got hosed, maybe it was a shotgun wedding. They made him an offer epstein couldn’t refuse. /s
Not when they are funded by the gubt like Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop, however to keep up their pretend Magic Coffee Shops they need to have advertisers, and advertisers require stats. Hence bots.

They requested a specific thing, Russia Russia Russia.
Germany is an American vassal state. We approved their constitution after we denationalized them. East German socialists(DDR) would later join them. France is right behind them.
Whatever they do, they do on behalf of the uniparty. If the uniparty wants to squeeze big tech, they can do that through the EU, while simultaneously gaining their CONFIDENCE to censor free speech they don’t like, to exploit Americans, for the same political and/or financial gain.
Sounds like another con job to me. One uniparty hand washes the other. Uniparty colluded on the Russia hoax with Big Tech too. JMO.
Commies gotta nazi
Or something like that
They are commies acting commie. There I fixed it
Whoever controls the media controls the minds of those who volunteer to be controlled.
Those who are absorbed can then be directed to identify/eliminate the holdouts. There was an old Star Trek episode called ‘The Return of the Archons’ that covered this concept.
We’ve seen this in action during Covid, markedly with medical professionals who weren’t absorbed by the propaganda. Many others were also targeted but medical people stand out due to their importance in a medical scenario like biological warfare.
You cannot unsee what you have seen. And you cannot ask for Amnesty after deliberate malice-a-forethought.
They all know the penalty, now they are negotiating.
They are “attempting” to negotiate.
It seems to be a one sided negotiation.
I’ve seen no one but their sycophants respond favorably.
What ? Stand aside or you will be absorbed too ?

I thought I’d seen every episode of Star Trek but I must have missed that one; however you nailed it with that one.
There are allot of volunteers Sharon, unfortunately
!! Better.
Whoever controls the media controls the mindless…
To quote a line from a John Mayer song, “If you control the information, you can bend it any way you want.”
And man have ‘they’ bent it
When 90% of Americans say they do NOT believe the MSM, that think the Media are a bunch of lying, talking heads, then they control nothing. But, they think they do.
The Internet has ex-communicated so many people, that they too, have chopped off their tongues.
It is easier to persuade and control with persuasion, but the lazy, weak-brains at the top, always resort to thuggery.
Come on man, you don’t believe that do you? That would be like saying people are to stupid to realize there are being scammed. If it smells like crap, it’s crap. I’ve seen enough scams and BS lines in my 70 years and I can tell you this, they don’t make liars like they once did. Not as smart as they think they are. That goes for our best and brightest as well. Save yourself a lot of grief and just steer clear of purveyors of BS.
The “free” western nations have become entities of censorship, corruption, and oppression.
The question is who controls them? The anti-american globalist Council On Foreign Relations which controls the Federal Legislative & Executive Branches (PDJT not so much) and media is one important layer. Who or what else? Federal Reserve, which is not “Federal”?
Who controls the worlds money supply? Who then, do they answer to?
“Let me issue and control a nation’s money and I care not who writes the laws.”
Mayer Amschel Rothschild (Bauer)
Former head (founder) of the Rothschild banking syndicate – primary location – London.
Who do they answer to? SATAN!
“German writer Friedrich von Scherb wrote in his 1893 history of the family that:
“The house of Rothschild has arisen from the quarrels between states, has become great and mighty from wars. The misfortune of states and peoples has been its fortune.”
https://www.businessinsider.com/the-rothschild-gang-shadow-conspiracy-or-rumor-2011-6
The Rothschilds also have a lot of intermarriage, like the European nobility (now that’s a laugh). Their genes have probably weakened through the generations, but it seems their souls were always decrepit.
Correct. Intermarriage some with nobility, mostly with cousins though.
Most of their ennoblements came from ‘services’ for, or bribery of former monarchs though.
Wouldn’t that be in the City of London, which is an autonomous zone, much like the
Vatican, inside of London proper?
Yes, you are correct. Their main satellite locations are in Paris, Milan, Frankfurt and one more place (Vienna if I remember correctly). Note: 5 locations like a pentagram.

Repost this 20 times plz. So true.
Who or what else?
Vanguard and Blackrock!
https://rumble.com/vn7lf5-monopoly-who-owns-the-world-must-see.html
You ever see the crazy Blackrock commercial with all the middle eastern males? Some point out that Muslims worship a “Black Rock”
I was force fed Fox News while babysitting last week and noticed two sponsors: Pfizer and Black Rock. No ads, just an on-screen mention as “proud sponsors.” I believe it was during Hannity.
Vanguard and Blackrock are fronts for the banking and financial elites to elicit more funding for their esoteric efforts. They are minuscule to those elements they serve (central banks, clearing houses, etc). They expose themselves amongst other ways with their very names:
Vanguard – typically a forward probing action of a coming action or event. In military terms, the unit(s) in front of a large army movement or objective, kinda like a cavalry screening unit in front of a major command;
Blackrock – refers to the Black Stone housed in the Kaaba at the Grand Mosque of Mecca.
They take your money and make you and them more money doing evil things.
My ‘liberal’ financial advisor thinks Black Rock hung the moon.
Funny story: I had to threaten him to get him to get me out of it. He said,
“I’ve had a lot of investors request that. All of you must be getting your information from the same place.”
Good for you, Dixie. I did the same thing with Coca Cola about 2 or so years ago after having invested in them on and off for 3 decades.
Reason(s): mandating the law firms that represent them to have a quota of 30% of a particular race and then subsequently finding out that we’re using slave labor (Uyghurs) in China. Have never owned a banking or finance stock that I can remember and starting noticing the activities of the companies I own more closely. Also dumped Rio Tinto some years back when I found they were Rothschild created and controlled.
I will not allow myself to knowingly profit from something that I believe is associated with evil. It is not worth any amount of money to me.
“PDT not so much” – really; how about not at all.
Do a search of CFR members in the Trump Administration. You will find some, unfortunately

“Some”? How about 90%? This is where the disconnect hits me.
CFR/WEF named and photographed. Gonna take a lot of fingers in their dike of sand.
They have seen how well it has worked for those in power in china, russia, iran etc so why shouldn’t the western power hungry elites get their shot at being total ruler also.
So far I’m not noticing anything better about Twitter and in fact, I’ve watched ‘likes’ of an anti-vaxxer’s tweets be tallied as subtractions. I even liked one twice only to see the number go down twice.
I am totally unconvinced Elon Musk represents anything new or better besides maybe a controlled op upgrade.
Might be true but things take time to clean out.
The illusion of change is an intricate web to weave. It does take time.
Agreed. Be very watchful of elon.
He’s stated clearly that moderation changes and restoration of accounts can’t happen immediately. It has to be done hand-in-hand with a sustainable moderation policy that has at least grudging acceptance by the people who, while probably disgusting, do have major first-hand experience with the issues needing consideration. Wait 4 weeks and I think you’ll see action. Probably automatic unsuspension for anyone suspended for non-illegal statements.
We do not have to wait. We can already see where this is going.
Musk declared his intent to ensure free speech – yet now we hear that his moderation board will decide what free speech is.
Twitter has Section 230 protection. It is not responsible for user content and is not obligated to make itself the arbitrator. It can provide users blocking options, filters and warnings – but to delete content is not free speech.
If someone finds offense in the public square, they are free to leave.
If slander or liable is used in the public square, it can be pursued against the offender.
Of course, this would be moot if Twitter did not hold the privilege of monopoly. If Musk truly wanted Twitter to be part of a digital public square, he would let users own their content, he would open Twitter interfaces so other social media apps could integrate.
This should not be a First Amendment debate – it should be an anti-trust debate. Twitter was and remains a government funded and protected monopoly. If BigTech’s social media monoply is dismantled, Twitter becomes yet another social media ap and it can do what it likes and no one will care.
I monitor leftist sites for things I wouldn’t hear elsewhere, and the Color of Change just sent an email bragging that Elon has agreed to their extortion demands…Don’t know how I might share the email, but it brags that he isn’t going to be making any changes after all …
“Because of our track record in holding powerful executives accountable and the direct action taken by members like you, Musk agreed to the following demands1:
I knew it was too good to be true
Musk knows whose account he could restore to send a strong message of the direction he’s headed. So do we. Is it restored? I don’t Twitter so don’t know. I hope Treepers who Twitter would know, both whom I’m referring to and if it has been restored.
.
Trump is not interested in having his Truth Social audience go over to twitter and competing against himself. Maybe “later”.
.
That wasn’t my point. If Musk is a patriot he’d reinstate a valid account that had no exigent reason for being banned, one known throughout the world. Personally, I think he’s a Branch 4 stooge.
Obviously, he still has some bad actors with their hands on the twitter levers. He will have to wait until they all show their real intentions. We’ll see.
Last I read from Musk was “Nothing is going to change on Twitter until he has a “Content Moderation Board” established. Now…. what the “CMB” will actually be is a whole ‘nuther question.
Sounds Orwellian
Indeed!
Or common sense.
The issue at hand was censorship based strictly on ideological lines.
There are clear examples of speech that should be prohibited (e.g., commonly agreed upon racist terms).
No one said the decision process was easy.
The other vector in play is misinformation & disinformation. The original concept for the Internet was that critical mass of reviews would surface these discrepancies. Bots and intentional efforts to undermine the tacit voting process operated to undermine this supposed virtue of the public forum. Very, very tricky issue to tackle.
Finally, there is the “etiquette” of discourse. IMO, that squarely lies with the owner of private enterprises to define for the environment they are offering as a product.
How hard is it (I don’t know).
“Anything ILLEGAL, such as child porn, etc is censored, anything else is not.”
But, even then Twitter has Section 230 protection. A local sheriff should pursue it and let a DA decide whether or not to file charges.
Anything else makes it a “private square” not a “public square”. That is fine so long as the governmetn has turned over its public square to private control.
Well you see…. It’s actually very difficult in doing something you said you wouldn’t do and attempting to provide the illusion of not doing that very thing. The very name “Content Moderation” pulls a perfect vacuum as in it sucks perfectly!
I think we have the answer?

Every time I visit TGP I feel dirty when I leave… But that said the sad fact is there is no good going to come from a “Content Moderation Board”. One person with absolute authority is all that’s needed. They can’t do the job – NEXT. ‘Til you find someone that can. As Dutchman pointed out all that needs to be known is “Is it legal?” Otherwise… you only have fr** speech.
“Every time I visit TGP I feel dirty when I leave”
Funny. I use to be the same with TGP. But, I’ve changed over time. He/They do a lot of good to be honest. Overlook some things? 🙂

Twitter is infested with maggots.
Give the guy a bit more than a day or two!
That phenomena has been the case with 75% of posts I like. Is it something with my account that causes it, or theirs?
Of course not because it should all be taken care os with a snap of your fingers or a twitch of your nose. s/ Or did you think it would be like taking down one web page and putting up another? Actual code has to be found and rewritten.
I love France; however tres bien for Rumble and tant pis for France hahaha
Vraiment!
France? Or Macron?
NOW we’re getting somewhere. Thank you Rumble! We need to know how the machinations work, against companies, against schools, etc. The ones that cause them to act against their own interests and go woke or censor any challenge to the liberal orthodoxy.

Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation… If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
Matthew 12:25-26
In simple terms governments attempting to control speech, or generally control thought, have already seen themselves as the “Ministry OF TRUTH”. Like in the movie Shooter where Ned Beatty’s character says “The truth is what I say it is”. Can’t really expect anything different from evil people. Lies are all they know and the power to control through those lies are fundamental to their control.
“Never let a crisis go to waste!” So said the former mayor of Chicago. What type of person would behave in such a manner? Think in terms of a hungry lion observing a herd of buffalo. The lion wishes to create a situation that energizes the buffalo to behave in “crisis mode” via stampeding so that a take down can occur where dinner will be served…buffalo munching for the pride!
So, what drives a politician to seek a crisis situation…the politician is hungry for what? Find that out and you know which way the wind will blow for that person.
The public / private sector collaboration is going to have dire consequences for humanity.

“Why would any social media platform, at any scale and on any level, be in any relationship with the United States government?”
This is likely being communicated to the Big Tech Companies somehow.

BigTech and Government are laying in our beds laughing their azzes off at us.

It does not particularly bother me that a government would ask a web site to censor items unfavorable to government. I would actually expect many to attempt this. What bothers me are those private entities that agree to the government’s request without question. This creates a public-private partnership that makes any business that agrees to government demands an arm of the government. The companies may see it as an acceptable surrender for matters with which they agree. However, that is not where it will end. Eventually the government will ask for something completely unacceptable and the companies will find that they have sold their soul to government and can not escape their grasp. They will be slaves to government control.
How many of these media companies have agreed to turn over customers’ personal data illegally? I know ATT has. Maybe a better question is who hasn’t turned over our onfo.

IT’S OKAY TO NOTICE
WHAT “tribe” is that?
“This creates a public-private partnership that makes any business that agrees to government demands an arm of the government”
and vice-versa. Gobal neo-fascism.
Small price to pay. “‘Long as I get my money next Friday.”
Folks HAVE to realize the fact that the term “private entities” are being reduced to “one”.
To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.

Good on Rumble for standing strong. Sadly, it’s not just the internet/media being controlled. It’s in almost every level of business.

Won’t move the goal posts for any “foreign government.”
Won’t move the goal posts because France is a small part of their market.
I am very grateful to see Rumble standing firm now.
But I pray that no matter how big the threat or who is giving it –
that they will not bend to tyrannical control.
For what it is worth there is an article over on Zero Hedge that the EU is warning Musk not to restore free speech on twitter.
Of course there are back channels…

No surprise here unfortunately.
I hope Rumble is able to withstand the eventual government sponsored campaigns to drop their hosting.
Let me expand – the NSA and related gov organizations have had a back door relationship with phone companies since the 1950s.
Ha! Fitting name for a company that (as of today) fights back.

Uncanny 100 year prophecy or a roadmap?
The original version for those that want to believe could be much older then 1905. Even the 1905 version, they had “Utopian Dreamers” back then?
“The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” have been completely, 100%, proven to be a mishmash of plagiarized material from anti Semitic and other sources. When you read verse after verse of this poison and can see for yourself that it has been lifted word for word from many different sources, most not having anything at all to do with Jews, will you stop helping spread this lie?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Protocols_of_the_Elders_of_Zion
They have not been ‘100% proven’ to be false or a mishmash or whatever. Though they have been acclaimed by several media sources to be false or a mishmash.
Besides, how did you know it was from the Protocols unless of course you’ve read them?
Why are so defensive and so sure it is a lie?
Why are you insisting that it be censored here?
All of us here believe in a free exchange of ideas whether they are uncomfortable for some or not.
There certainly are many things going on in every segment of society that could just as easily ‘prove’ the protocols are being fulfilled.
And besides, just like SD says – it’s just information. It is up to each of us to decide whether we believe the information or not!
It’s not you place or mine to tell what others to believe or relate to others.
It is my place as a Christian to call out anti Semitism when I encounter it.
“The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” were 1st published in the most widely known version in 1905. Duh! When your crowd talks in code, “The Cabal”, “The Tribe, “It’s OK To Notice” it’s another clue. Duh! I can tell Shakespeare from Kamela Harris just as I recognize virulent anti-Semitism.
Your statement, “They have not been ‘100% proven’ to be false or a mishmash or whatever. Though they have been acclaimed by SEVERAL MEDIA SOURCES to be false or a mishmash.” … is complete and utter nonsense. Not one legitimate media source, left, right or center puts stock in this wildly anti Semitic garbage. Name ONE that thinks they are real??? I supplied a Wikipedia link which might not be the last name in trustworthy but most of the links are.
If you are such a believer in a free exchange of ideas and information being decided upon by us, individually, as to whether that information is believable or not … why HIDE your source?
If what was foretold in the “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” is coming true, the credit should go to the Imperialist Russian Officer Corp for predicting it but one thing they sure as Hell got wrong was it has been an interfaith and atheist endeavor and not a Jewish one.
Telling someone what to believe is not forcing anyone to believe.
My crowd and code? I don’t have a crowd. I’m independent. And I sure don’t talk in code. Don’t know about the others.
One accusation, assertion and assumption by you against everyone who disagrees or digresses from your point of view.
I can’t understand your contradictory statements regarding the press and what are you taking about with ‘hiding my source(s)?’
I come to my own conclusions after reading volumes of history, philosophy, economics, religion and current events for over 5 decades. Enough to fill a small library.
Ideas are the source of ideas.
I am the source of my own conclusions.
But I will agree that there are other faiths and atheists involved.
And YES telling someone what to believe is exactly trying to FORCE someone to believe as opposed to trying to convince them.
Arrogance, insults, assumptions and unfounded assertions are not good strategies and/or tactics to try to persuade others to consider your views and arguments.
How rude!
Apt! Recently finished a Baldacci novel titled “The Whole Truth”, which was published in 2008… pretty much this theme.
Are you such a gutless coward that you won’t attribute authorship of your quotes?
“Cabal” is an often used term, like “Tribe”, for Jews.
Are these from the “Protocols of the Elders of Zion”?
Show a smidgen, one iota of backbone.
I watch RT on Rumble. I do not want France dictating to me where and when I watch Cross Talk. I do not want my own government dictating anything to me period.
These people are taking quite a lot of liberties with demands.
Yay Rumble.
“…Like @elonmusk, I won’t move our goal posts for any foreign government….. ”
I am a cynic regarding Musk. In the same way as with all the potential white hats starting with Sessions up to Durham, I was wary of them because I didn’t believe you could rise to the top and last in our system without being corrupted.
In the same way I keep thinking that musk was given SpaceX and Starlink by the US government so he had to be deep in with the defense military Industry. In my view it suits the deep state and military to have Twitter private because they will have more freedom to do what they want. In my view we just don’t know what they want yet but they have drummed up support for it using the “popular” Musk. For now they make it appear that it will resolve the censorship issues but my suspicious cat remains………suspicious!
Youtube is definitely disappearing any feed that questions the Ukraine narrative, or, at least anyone who presents the “Z” side of things. That’s one of them, SD. Even with the suppression, it’s clear Vicky Nuland’s party days are numbered over there.
Ukraine, as of now, is basically a really expensive Pelosi/naked underwear/hammer s*it show.
Twitter and anything Google are not even worth the effort to find actual truth. Sure, the DYI info on Youtube is fine, but anything geopolitical, no. Substack and Telegram provides that information for YOU to decide.
“…Why would any social media platform, at any scale and on any level, be in any relationship with the United States government?”
Because there are $trillion$ at stake for them and their masters.
Money is at the root of all human evil these days.
But those doing evil are being guided by “…. the rulers, … the powers, ….. the world forces of this darkness, … the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (Eph 6:12)
Love of money is at the root of so many evils in the world.
A tool misused causes so much misery. That’s why we cannot have nice things. Someone has to spoil it for everyone.
Good to see CISA and EAC as defendants!
Maggie Toulouse Oliver, NM SoS & NASS President
Is WordPress a defendant?
How about National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS)?
All State Secretaries of State?
Every member of Congress and all of their staffers?
USCP?
Associated Press (AP)?
I’d like to know who and how AP gets their instructions from to call each race, including the Presidential.
Here’s a funny thing that happened to me today on Rumble. I replied to a Comment and it was a two digit number. I entered the number and hit enter. A pop up box came up to tell me my reply was too short. I added a period and it went through just fine.
3 characters please! 😉
I reject being controlled by people who have zero knowledge about me or what is best for me and my family. That includes…my speech!
Also, let’s call these social media sites what the really are…government control and snooping sites.
We have a very paranoid govt. That can not stand the thought of not being trusted, or adored, fawned over, and idolized….so they snoop, spy and try to control every thing we do, think and say.
To them I say….to fn bad.
The Ruling Elite are scared to death of what the future might bring.
Freedom of Speech scares the hell out of them.
The time has come for their house of cards built on a foundation of lies to fall.
Sounds like social media has a big banking problem!
“If you owe the bank millions (a small amount), then you have a problem. If you owe the bank billions (a large amount), then the bank has a problem.”
(Digits updated for current situation…)
EU muscling in on Twitter. Just reading comments from 0bama, Hillary et al is mind-blowing. The antithesis of 1st Amendment, free speech.

I think he should have linked to the Russian news sources. 🙂 The French aren’t likely aware of the Streissand effect.
I was not aware that French factories were being used to build weapons for the Japanese army way back in March 1933 – this was during the Japanese invasion of China. Why did the French allow this?
Systemic fascism?
What’s the big deal they’re just trying to do what’s right for themselves.
Censorship is the fuel for fascism and propaganda is the exhaust.
Nations get the leaders they deserve read your Bible.
The French
The only worse than the French is the French government.
Rumble said ‘no’, but who said ‘yes’?
Isn’t it pretty obvious? Those who are still up and running in France said ‘yes.’
This is the answer to Sundance’s question. Right here.
I hope they stand their ground. Unfortunately, if the pattern Ive noticed is accurate, most everyone has their price even when initially there is resistance. The Cabal will not let this go now.
WHO is this “Cabal”?
They don’t call it the Show Me State for nothing.
Rumble is one of my go to social media sites these days. I can’t wait til they overtake youtube.
Canadian citizen pushback is developing against the corrupt judicial system in Canada. Here is a novel way forward:

We may see some stick work…

One thing that pops into my head is thus: If Governments have been infiltrating/leaning on tech companies for censorship and/or propaganda for control of speech and more, it seems obvious that the Government has done this to other mediums before, affecting all kinds of things, like newspapers, television programs, movies, etc. Now it’s just more overt and angry.
Maybe it’s time we get more overt and angry. Just complaining about it seems to be getting us nowhere.
They might try to short the stocks.
I can confirm that in Australia, our pay TV (Foxtel) got rid of the Russian RT news a while ago, because of the invasion of Ukraine.
I’m disappointed because I liked to occasionally check it out and see what they’re saying. It was often quite interesting.
The Saker…at least you can read some of what is happening from a non-western viewpoint. They also post videos.Comments are instructive as well.

Thank you, I’ll check it out.
Wow! What a pleasant change this is compared to only a few months ago. I can’t access Truth Social but I assume we can add it to Musk’s and Rumble’s stance on free speech. TS was setting up in the UK the last I heard
That “dinky metrosexual,” as Steyn refers to Macron, probably didn’t expect this reaction as he’s used to EU supplication and conformity.
Nobody names ’em like Mark. He’s an absolute star.
