    No wonder the MSM is trying to ignore this...

    Chinese Censorship Company Invests Millions in Reddit

    Reddit, the internet forum for communities, posts, and news, is currently fundraising to keep itself afloat, with a $300 million goal. Half of that goal has already been met, thanks to a massive investment of $150 million from Chinese censorship company Tencent. The company is in charge of blocking, blacklisting and preventing internet access to certain groups, sites, and information in China. Ironically, Tencent is responsible for the banning of Reddit in China.

    We need to dust off the anti-trust laws and split up these monopolies into tiny little pieces.

    Ban evasion is an art -- not that difficult so far. Most YouTube channels I watch have been banned and then reappeared under a different name. They also have a mirror at Bitchute.

    Indeed, modern Leftists are similar to Stalin's opponents in 1941.

    The goal of any blogger is to reach the widest possible audience. Of course a blogger who is likely to be banned by YourTube should use other Free Speech platforms. But ban avasion on YouTube is also an effective strategy.

    Not whining. We as President Trump's electorate hold him accountable to take any possible legal step to sue Totalitarian Media Giants. We are not asking him to do what he can not do -- just to do what he can.

    For anything legal that would work to reduce Totalitarians power. There are things for which President Trump would not be forgiven by his base -- like failing to take every step he can to reduce the power of Totalitarian giants.

    Donald Trump: Google ‘Trying to Rig the Election’

    Trump acknowledged that Europeans and the European Union were already suing tech companies for various reasons.


    “We should be suing Google and Facebook, perhaps we will,” Trump said.

    The president said executives at Google were liberal Democrats and would try to stop his supporters in 2020.

    “These people are all Democrats, it’s totally biased toward Democrats,” Trump said.

    Of course Conservatives are starting new Social Media companies.

    But it is the Ethical Duty of President Trump's Electorate to hold him accountable to doing everything he can to weaken Totalitarian Social Media Giants.

    President Trump will sue Totalitarian Giants. I hope Justice Kavanaugh remembers what Leftists did to him.

    Why couldn’t other Americans start up their own oil companies to compete with John D Rockefeller? Why did we have all of those anti-trust laws?

    So your conservative solution is nanny stage and government interference. Lol.

    He can’t sue them. They didn’t break any laws.

    So righties are incompetent businessmen? They need big government to protect them? Why do you need government to regulate everything for you from cradle to grave? Why are you for such big government?

    I don't think anyone here actually understands what the 1st Amendment is about. The 1st Amendment isn't just about the government like so many claim. The 1st Amendment, along with the rest of the BoR's does not create Rights. They protect Rights that existed even before the US was formed. Free Speech is a Right that existed BEFORE the BoR's was written. The Founders believed that these Rights existed before the US was formed. The BoR's acknowledges those Rights and protects them from the Government. Because at the time that the BoR's was written that is what concerned the Founders the most. Government tyranny. If they knew what was happening today they would most assuredly re-write them to include corporations like Google, Twitter, Facebook etc etc. Why? Because that is why they fought the revolutionary war. To protect Freedoms. To protect Rights. You can see that in the Declaration of Independence.

    That to secure these rights....Clearly the Founders believed that certain Rights existed before they formed the US. Before they even fought the Revolutionary War.

    There has already been an example placed in this thread where even the Courts believe this to be true. Where they have prevented certain areas that were considered the Public Square from prohibiting certain things related to Free Speech. That example Proves that just because you're a private company does not mean that you are immune from comporting yourself in a way which does not violate peoples innate Rights.

    Furthermore, don't even attempt to try and make the claim that Conservatives are just trying to be tyrannical and make Google do what they want. Doing such is hypocritical to the max when you also demand that a bakery respect gay peoples Rights to be married. I'll accept that if you accept that Google should not be allowed to censor people's opinions that they do not agree with.

    Government is useful in very few areas. National defense and protecting our borders. Police and fire departments. Regulating monopolies.

    Except when it comes to baking a cake or forcing your employee to stand for the national anthem.

    I'm sure Blacks who refused to sit in the back of the bus were told to make their own bus service. I'm sure Blacks who were refused service at restaurants were told to start their own. Shall I continue?

    That may be the way to go if sites can make a living from advertising.

    Most people, like you, don't. The bill of rights applies to government, not the private sector. Its purpose is to limit the powers of government. It is unconstitutional for the government to censor. It is perfectly OK for the private sector to do so. What would be unconstitutional would be for government to prevent web sites from censoring if they want to censor.

    This is a political issue, not a legal one. If you don't like the censorship then stop using these sites and convince people you know to do the same. If enough people leave that it affects financial performance, they will change.

    It makes no sense to compare racial bias (a legal issue) to private sector censorship (a political issue.) Skin color is natural, not optional and not an indicator of humanity. Political opinion is the opposite.

    Because Trump supporters hate successful American companies.
