Tech giants have commenced Free Speech CRACKDOWN. Iron fist internet.

               Recently many social media users across the spectrum have witnessed this week the largest broad internet crack down of Free Speech. Social media sites like Facebook , Twitter , Youtube and others have begun regulating their private platforms of what would be considered polarizing and angry content. These private corporations who opened up their platforms to the public are now claiming they have all the justification in the world because the platforms are still privately owned and not owned by the general public. Some would say this attempt to reign in inflammatory rhetoric is long over due , but now that it has gained the support of politicians and activist groups the tech giants cannot ignore the majority that wants it controlled.
              So as example " Youtube " owned by Google , has de-monetized several Youtube accounts and have removed the accounts from search engines. The account owners can post their content yet they will not be able to advertise or gain subscribers because they have been removed from the " worldwide web " search engines. Many account holders are retreating to sites like Patreon.com but who knows if the regulatory actions will stop there. With the intent of the tech giants one would assume the cleansing of the internet will be the entire internet.
              Also recently other nations have conducted complete internet blackouts. Complete denial of access of the internet. https://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/internet-blackouts-rise-government-imposed-shut-downs-190614091628723.html Recently in Sudan the internet was shutdown. And many other countries are conducting the same rash moves. Other countries like Syria , China , Vietnam either block most of the internet or all of it completely. Our world is essentially going back in time. We can imagine countries like Syria and China being concerned of the internet because they have massive tyrannical control over their population. But who would ever imagine this to occur within the United States of America. Where we are suppose to be the " Land of the Free ".
            https://thehill.com/opinion/technology/448820-tech-giants-head-down-dangerous-censorship-path The Hill today also did a article of the recent crack down. They also state this is something the tech giants allowed to occur over time and became a festering disaster. Now nothing can be done and not escape it looking like censorship of Free Speech. And something that is against our American ideals upon what our fathers have set forth in the United States Constitution.
            We hope our blog itself does no fall victim to the ax.
