Time to gloat: as expected, big tech cracking down on the left
The USA billionaires that pretend to be left wing by supporting a far right party that calls itself the left, are now - as was so obvious just so obvious and so certain to happen - banning droves of left wing activists and groups.
I am gloating, not because I like seeing people get silenced, I am gloating because I love to say "told you so" and there is a second reason: I know this is the early phase of these internet giants dying. They won't go to zero tomorrow, we are only in the innovator or early adopter phase, but at some point the progress bar will fill up and this will be it.
There are plenty of alternatives and I cannot tell yet which ones will be the ones (some might not even have been created yet): Rumble, DLive, Mastodon, Bitchute, Gab, Parler, Odysee, many more, mostly right wing alternatives for now.
Here a few words from the International Committee of the Fourth International via their World Socialist Web Site:
"On Friday, Facebook carried out a purge of left-wing, antiwar and progressive pages and accounts, including leading members of the Socialist Equality Party. Facebook gave no explanation why the accounts were disabled or even a public acknowledgement that the deletions had occurred."
"Since the 2016 election, the US intelligence agencies have advocated internet censorship in the name of fighting “fake news.” While these actions have been presented as targeting far-right conspiracy theories, they have, in fact, disproportionately affected left-wing, antiwar and socialist organizations."
They banned the Socialist Equality Party’s candidate for US Vice President and other key figures.

Here is an article from the Socialist Workers Party, about Facebook banning their page:

Twitter is also banning plenty of anarchists, antiwar and other "unnacceptables". The mainstream media thinks they are useful idiots and are not really on their side so they won't cover the matter, the right-wing media well they don't care and think it's nothing compared to bans on right-wingers so won't cover it. They have no allies and if somehow average people hear of it and asks TWTR questions they'll say "oh ye these were clearly far right racists posing as left-wingers". Facebook banned known people, the socialist VP candidate, and the SWP page, so would be quite hard for them to call them undercover KKK members, although not impossible, "average" people are stupid enough to believe anything at that point.
They are killing small businesses (since 2009 there are in the USA more people working for large companies than small ones for the first time), they want more power and money... But... More people that work for large business will mean the comeback of workers unions and socialism & fascism and everything.
