Someday, they simply wouldnt allow certain things to remain on the Internet any longer. The potential to reach a global audience with important information, and the idea that it could be in the hands of anyone is just too big.
So it is no surprise that many corporate giants from Silicon Valley are now putting forward a unified front to silence free speech on social media.
Hashtags, keywords and flagged accounts, logged in various databases, will be shared and enforced across the web. Shutting down content identified as unacceptable will now be streamlined, and leave unpopular posters with fewer places to peddle their extremist, outside views.
Web giants YouTube , Facebook , Twitter and Microsoft will step up efforts to remove extremist content from their websites by creating a common database.
The companies will share hashes unique digital fingerprints they automatically assign to videos or photos of extremist content they have removed from their websites to enable their peers to identify the same content on their platforms.
We hope this collaboration will lead to greater efficiency as we continue to enforce our policies to help curb the pressing global issue of terrorist content online, the companies said in a statement on Tuesday.

The European Union set up an EU Internet Forum last year bringing together the internet companies, interior ministers and the EU Counter-Terrorism Coordinator to find ways of removing extremist content.
Many current incidents are being used to push the idea that a new online policing and a pulling of the weeds is now necessary.
The fake news purging campaign has reached across the blogosphere and alternative media and punished websites that have dared to report on such taboo topics as Pizzagate, Wikileaks email dumps, any controversial aspects of the Syrian war and many other serious topics which these agenda-driven companies have opted to suppress.
While these platforms offer the opportunity to reach a wide audience, the centrality of ubiquitous platforms like Facebook, Google and Twitter is, obviously, that they have the power to delete accounts and drive down audience response by tweaking the algorithm.
They can make you invisible.
That is the state of free speech in 2016. It can be eradicated at a moments notice, and perhaps for reasons you arent even aware of.
Yeah - fake news, the link goes to the CIA website.
The document titled, Chronology of Recent Interest in Exceptional Functions of The Human Body in the Peoples Republic of China can be found on the CIAs website, and details studies which the Chinese government and other agencies funded to test thousands of children to see if they had superhuman abilities.
Oh - I guess they just made this up too.
The US government has similarly conducted parapsychology studies. The Stargate Project was the code name for a secret U.S. Army unit established in 1978 at Fort Meade, Maryland, by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and SRI International (a California contractor) to investigate the potential for psychic phenomena in military and domestic intelligence applications. The project was loosely reference in the filmThe Men Who Stare at Goats.
The fact that Chinas government was involved in the study of parapsychology and that the CIA deemed it too dangerous to reveal to the public (while the US government was conducting its own studies) is telling.

It's ok. The rest of us toys see you. And those spots are nothing to be ashamed of!
I'm certainly not ashamed to post here or at LibertyPost! It's just that FreeRepublic had a really huge audience, and I enjoyed that. I got a lot of comments and had some really interesting discussions.
But I would not look that other way at the incompetence of the elder George Bush, and they would brook no criticism of the Bushes - at THAT particular point in history. Later, they grew up and realized what I was saying before, but they're vindictive little cunts who won't let me back on. So that's that.
I second that opinion. Have no shame, it's their loss.
The only shame I felt was the realization that I had posted all of those years on FreeRepublic, and even contributed money to it. When I was banned, I was initially angry - not ashamed. Then as I thought about it, I realized that I had been a dupe, thinking highly of a place that was, in truth, a grift for a guy and his family.
A kook posts an article about silencing the extreme view by posting a picture of a kook with tape over his mouth... and yet you still post your YELLA garbage anywhere you like. Why isn't your mouth taped... because it's fear monger bullshit.
