Big tech censorship is coming for conservative voices and it is coming fast. In their actions to remove conservative voices from the public sphere, big tech companies that collectively control the flow of information for billions of people have all but announced that they are in control of the American political system.We cannot meet in person because of COVID-inspired restrictions, and now we cannot meet online out of fears of being silenced.With support from influencers like Michelle Obama, as well as many in congress and media, social media sites are banishing conservatives from their user base. It's happening with alarming speed.

You can't say anything at work or school, or wear any conservative insignia, or you will be attacked, or fired. And the Republicans have turned upon themselves, instead of fighting the Democrats. I am tired of being told to be peaceful by Fox personalities, as they bend to management's directives, virtue signal---and I have not left my home, nor have very many of you done anything but express your views. I really appreciate all those conservative voices telling me to be nonviolent. We don't get anything anymore. Only that we should sit down, and shut up, and don't go to church either. Even the pastors have surrendered, no longer assemble, or have adopted noise music to attract the young. It looks like we are done. The Democrats rule it all: government, media, schools, workplaces, sports. Conservatives run nothing. Have conservatives even got a lawyer? None have shown up to defend those polling places. The Rinos wanted to get rid of Trump, but the Republican Party has committed suicide in doing so. We are left with smoke signals, unless we are banned from matches.

The good news is that "big tech" is entirely superfluous, and can be dumped and ignored. You can have a very nice, normal, sensible life if you NEVER use Fakebook, Twitter or Google. I use Bing or Duck-Duck-Go for searches, have not use Google in at least 15 years now. I've never been on Fakebook or Twitter....haven't missed it a bit. Occasionally a news story has a link to a video or photo on Twitter, and I have looked at a few of them - but never been connected to it myself.
If 75 million people ditch this hideous leftist, treasonous pieces of garbage, it will help us and hurt them.

Dumped Amazon tonight. Cancelled the Amazon Prime service we have had for 7 years. That is what $119 a year. Cancelled about 25 "Subscribe and Save" items, some of which we received every month. That alone is approximately $350 a month. I will reduce my Amazon to a bare minimum and will find other places to shop. As a family I would not be shocked to find out we spend $750+ a month on Amazon. No more!!
Free speech is more important than Amazon's cheap Chinese crap!!
I dumped Facebook long ago. I never used Twitter. I dumped Netflix. Now Amazon. It will be tough at first but I have no problem sticking to my guns when the going gets tough.

#4 good for you!!! I didn't have to cancel Fake Book, Twitter, Instragram, HBO, Showtime, Netflix or anything..since I never had any of them!!have a smart phone which is never used..I stick to my old fashioned flip phone..I don't even text..people think I am nuts for not texting..especially my son..I do have a small tablet which I use for biz when I am away from my PC..but I keep it all to a bare minimum..heck I even still use an ancient Palm Pilot..you would have to pry it out of my cold, dead hands...!!!.I am not totally "out of the electronic loop" I had a cell phone when they were in...bags!!!!!! the first one I think was $3000 or something equally awful...I waited until they came down to $1500..then I had to jump..saved me so much time with appts..

Firefox got into the act for the past several days by displaying anti-Trump propaganda at the bottom of the screen. Too bad, they had a good browser.

The age of censorship. And who is stopping big tech from suspending accounts of those who misbehave? So far, nobody.
I never had FB and tweeter accounts. I don't do instagram. Not sure about parler yet. I only use YouTube when working on the truck or car and need to see a video for how to fix something. I never had that constant need for approval from so-called digital friends. I have real in-life close friends who really matter to me. And, yes, I don't use google. A full-time duckduckgo guy now. We unplugged Alexa. And artificial intelligence is imbedded in all of the devices we use. You think that the advent of 5G communications is just a faster way to transfer data? Guess again.
See the 2020 film, "The Social Dilemma" for interesting insights as to how digital media and silicon valley have taken control of our minds especially the minds of our young people...what we think, when we think, and how we think...things that bring instant gratification. If you have children or grandchildren, they must see this film. When my 13-year old granddaughter was here over Christmas week, we played it one night and I watched her body language which was clearly in rejection of what she was seeing. After the first 30 minutes, she lost interest and started texting her friends...that need for constant approval is that strong.

Big Tech is only biased against Conservatives so the democrats actually approve of their overreach. Nobody is going to stop a great leftist propaganda setup like that. I have a wife who insists that I pay for Amazon and Cable TV in the house. If I got rid of her it would solve three problems at once.

I consider this a blessing in disguise. This will force competition to appear. I wouldn't be surprised if President Trump already has something lined up. I hope he starts a new platform for his 75 + million voters to use. He should make being a stockholder easy and accessible. Bring in the great mind to work on it. He could be the chairman of the board and Ivanka could be the CEO. There are digital companies already in place who would give do anything if he were to acquire them. We don't need the Chinese or Big Tech. Mr. President build a better mousetrap and Make America Great Again.

Get your ham license NOW and get a radio NOW. Net neutrality and the fairness doctrine are GOING to pass within the first 100 days, so don't be surprised when the ability to talk about facts, truth and data goes away for good. Uncle Sugar will shut HF down last because it's much harder to do. Licenses will be revoked, arrests will be made but it will be extremely difficult for them to stop communication completely. Either think what I just said as tin foil material or keep petting your purple unicorn. The nation you still think exists ended on Wednesday. The terrible results of that ending are coming right soon and will not be stopped nor even slowed down by a minority of bed wetting cowards.

The non-violent solution is simple. Big Tech oligarchs and their minions rely on the deplorables to provide them with goods and services. Wouldn't it be a shame if the supply chain broke down for Washington DC and silicon valley?

Well folks... time to get inventive...first get off goggle, amazon,facebook,tweeter and Instagram... go to Newsmax for the news... get on gab and parler...don't use your credit cards... use US dollars... shop locally... I tried to close my phone off at night by putting it in a drawer and closing it... it worked... I'm going to buy a throw away phone and confuse my phone people totally... WE must do our part...someone said wrapping my phone in tinfoil will stop the irritating calls and confuse the ruling media....let's not give up...remember when in Jesus' time... christians used a fish symbol to identify each other?...WE could use a MAGA hat...or a capital T...my husband was in the South Pacific during WWII...he fought many battles and remember General MacArthur said... "I will return"... and by God he did...

Yes Mozilla Firefox made a nasty little anti-Trump statement calling for full on censorship of Conservatives. They are dead to me.
We moved to a browser called Brave. Trying that out. Any other suggestions are welcome.
We moved to Duck Duck Go for our search engine long ago and it is so nice not to be Google-herded to just their approved sites.
Just cover up the cameras and microphones on your devices. We know A!exa listens in on people in their own homes. That has been documented.

Dumping F'book, Twit, etc is great but without the internet and the backbone, everything will go dead.
The ISPs are beholden to the Feds and the FCC - you think they would resist an order to shut down?
The enemy ALWAYS shuts down radio and phone services in conquered countries.

Somewhat off topic...but, and if Lucianne.com allows...With all those supporting Pres. Trump and his followers, etc., giving up FB, Twitter, Amazon, etc./ What are some reputable platforms to switch too. I have never had any experience with GAB, Clouthub, MeWe (These are platforms that Sidney Powell is saying she switched to.) Of course, there are others.
Lucianne, if this question is not permissible, please delete. Thank you.

The communist death democrats are daring us to resist.
REMEMBER the republicans have betrayed us and brought us to this point. Confiscation of guns is at the top of the death democrats agenda. At some point they will change the laws so possession of guns will carry the death sentence.

It's about controlling the information. Prior to the internet, the left had a monopoly on the news information via the alphabet networks. Then and internet came along and broke that monopoly. The left wants their monopoly back.
