    What better way to take control back and get the truth out than to start by attacking the media full on?!

    If anyone has the power to build their own platform, servers, be their own host and begin a new Media Empire I'd bet on Trump and his 75M followers to shake up and challenge the monopolies!

    Sometimes you have to be careful what you want - it may come back and bite you.
    If (or should we say when) this new company begins - I wonder how many libs would sign up for it?

    I can hardly believe this is going on in our country, its starting to seem like the twilight zone! Even Trump email server has shut him down.
    Devin Nunes has asked people to text "freedom" to 98078 so he let us know what is going on.
    Don Trump Jr. has asked people to send their email to him @ Donjr.com

    It sounds like Parler might just have to find another Host to get back up, because their server, Amazon is stopping service.

    This is a wakeup call about the power of media and the Communist tactics of silencing free speech. How is this being tolerated? Are people really this blind and unconcerned to what is going on? I'm becoming astounded at these blatant maneuvers and the direction they are headed!

    I believe the goal would be to maintain free speech no matter what side you are on, because of a belief in open debate.

    The danger is not in hearing adverse voices but in usurping the platform to shutdown debate.

    The left wants total control, sit down, shut up, no questions asked…
    CCP tactics...

    I heard Twitter and Facebook banned 60,000 conservative accounts to silence the conservative's voice.

    I don't know...a couple weeks ago I would have thought a lot of this sounds like conspiracy theory stuff but not so sure anymore.

    The likeness to communist takeover and CCP actions is becoming mind boggling... actions like starting by turning 1/2 the country against the other and total media blackouts.

    I've heard a couple times today that Trump is in Texas because he is not safe in Washington DC. I also remember a while back something about reorganizing the Texas Rangers along with U.S. Marshalls to be more prepared to make arrests.

    Then there was the recent major cyber attack. So much China involvement! Trump saying a big announcement to come. - Are we seeing a coordinated planned strategy to silence all opposing voices?

    Plans to take our weapons and take down the southern border? 1st Amendment then the 2nd?

    Question: "Who and what are we fighting against?" Are we quickly losing a foothold on our freedom?

    David Zhang usually shoots pretty straight and if his suspicions and information are on target ...I just don't know:

    This is not Capitalism. This is illegal discrimination of free-speech. They hide behind Section 230 which no longer should apply because it assumes that they are not moderating content and acting as a publisher. Yet they are.

    They are discriminating based on religion, and belief. All of which are illegal. These companies should be prosecuted.

    You can be conservative on Twitter and Facebook but you can’t be a lunatic posting misinformation and incendiary content. You can be a Christian as well. My mom posts nothing but bible verses and devotionals without issue.

    I don’t think you understand free speech. You also appear to be a fair weather fan of capitalism. You want the government to intervene now? What’s that sound like to you. Hmmmmm.

    I think we have to be careful when determining exclusivity is illegal when it comes to social media. We are a Christian board that discriminate based on religion and belief.

    I am just saying that I can see how some arguments can come back around.

    Except the recognized social media platforms, let's be honest little forums are not under the envelope of social media discussions at large, but Twitter/Facebook/Google have also been recognized as news outlets. They fall under a different category.

    They do not need to be protected under Section 230.

    Agreed. I don't know if that has ever been challenged in court. It should be, because I don't think the original intent of the law covers the current Facebook/Google/Twitter....

    You are 100% correct on all of this. I despise 95% of democratic thought as ungodly, yet I respect their right to say and post their wickedness openly so we can see where the attack is coming from. Censorship is defeat and a cover up all in one. Satan sought to censor and pervert God's revelation...hath God said???
