I just saw this day they banned Paul Joseph Watson from Facebook.com; this comes as just days before Tommy Robinson, The British National Party, Britain’s First and the account of the English Defence League were terminated.
Now I am sure Facebook.com can give you several breaches of their Terms of service, they always can, but lets face it Hamas run accounts so do The Muslim Brotherhood, several radical far Left accounts and Communist organisations, where is the balance?
Put simply Facebook.com has censored all what is known as ‘Right Wing’ voices on its platform, this in my opinion is election meddling at least and wholesale censorship at worst, what is the difference between burning a book and deleting a years old archive of posts by someone? There is none.
Not only have the people aforementioned been banned, utterance or their pictures and activities are banned , anyone posting such material also banned or locked out and the material removed, this is Gestapo tactics more akin to the Soviet Stasis who sewed the lips up of dissenters and nailed the hands of newspaper reporters to desks to stop them reporting.
It’s no coincidence that this Facebook.com purge started in the week our failed politician Nick Clegg’s appointment to Facebook’s hierarchy, what a surprise?
When you look at the popularity of the people Facebook is banning its mind numbing , Robinson was over a million subscribers, Watson , Britain’s first, BNP all as many if not more with years of contribution to the platforms, you could even say they made that platform what is was and as such its owner his vast fortune.
This is besides the people previously banned with huge followings, what gives this platform based in the United States , governed and bound by the 1st Amendment the right to do this? I don’t understand.
When you read the old dystopian novels of the 1940’s and 50’s one theme is common that dystopian society goes hand in hand with censorship, well they were not wrong and we are entering a dystopian future where freedom is rapidly disappearing .
I have experienced the censorship recently on twitter.com, first I lost a 35.4 thousand followed 7 year old account on some copyright issue they refused to identify, secondly a 15.8 thousand followed account for simply taking on someone spreading slander about me and who has been for 5 years without me challenging him, basically you can not even challenge lies being spread about you, the same account has been harassing me with others in the most vile ways for a very long time, twitter.com has done very little about these accounts who generally are not followed on the whole except by a handful of partners in crime.
Lets face it there is one rule for us and no rules for them, I am now forced to delete my posts every few days so ammunition is not given to these cyber stalkers to suspend my account, what has online activity become, where has the freedom and fun gone, I see a very poor future of more and more small ‘Driven Underground’ communities arising, no debate, no accountability and large communities of echo chamber like leftist, Muslim, violent threatening gangs where no freedom exists for debate or jovial discussion, very sad.
When you start burning peoples opinions the next thing in the ovens are the people themselves!!
