Reality Check: Internet Purge of Dissenting Voices?
<center><a href='https://d.tube/#!/v/benswann/xcp7b9xu'><img src='https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmXcW9sUaABZeSKo5YiXJ9xWUURKrpEixJDqPrYND6R5Gt'></a></center><hr>

Is there an internet purge of conservative voices or voices of dissension online? Some say yes, and that the purge is being pushed by several social media companies. We’ve heard about censorship before… but is what is happening now an all-out purge? This is a Reality Check you won't get anywhere else.

DTube and Steemit will be the future of free speech.

To me this is noting new, but political correctness of wording may, or may not be the only way to convey what is appropriate to the YouTubers any since they are hypersensitive and triggered.  I'm not surprised by this happening because of the companies that are with the Secret societies and Media also.

The future of free speech is alive and well here, I am hopeful and agree:) The *true purge* will be all immoral and unethical conduct happening right now at the larger networks. Case in point that recent Facebook survey question asking people's preference on whether adults can ask minors for sex pictures. The absolute depravity to structure a question in such a way to suggest this crime is acceptable!! Unreal. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DXiRjyyX0AA94vn.jpg

YouTube / Google / Facebook will do whatever they want.
They're all part of the antiquated centralized, hierarchical, paradigm of controlling trust. As the dinosaurs continue to shut out dissenting voices to their heart's content, at their own peril, their sycophant zombies will continue to feed upon the politically correct version of reality, at their own peril.

Meanwhile, this sort of censorship acts as a springboard for displacing technologies such as Blockchain based social media tools like d.tube and steemconnect to establish themselves as THE CENSORSHIP PROOF platforms of the future starting NOW.

These new tools have a 180 opposite model of trust, Horizontal and Decentralized vs Hierarchical and Centralized, based upon math and not human ego. It's all about decentralizing trust and spreading the power out to everyone, taking full advantage of network theory [https://lnkd.in/ge-zkJx]. It's precisely what made the internet possible. No longer will just an elite few have complete power and control to manipulate who, what, when, where, why, and how you should think.

I really can't believe this is happening in America.  I left all those platforms a while ago.  I figure continuing to use them is enabling them, and I become part of the problem.  Steemit/Dtube and Bitchute are all I use anymore.

@midfrost ·
With "America", which is the name of two continental plates, I take it you mean "United" States?
Yankeeland is nothing but an example of how NOT to run a country for the rest of the world.
It seems rather obvious that the nation was created intentionally to breed generation after generation of gun-tooting patriarchal ignoramuses in order to so perpetuate warfare opportunities world-wide, thus ensuring steady monetary flow for the corporations that created the states. "Gotta protect someone's freedom through the end of a barrel, ma'am."

**sigh**

Same for the most part. It has saddened me to have to "disconnect" from some of my favorite content creators, but the Youtube crackdown is horrifying and I will not give them any more clicks from now on. I cringe a little when I see people on steemit linking to YT instead of Dtube videos.

Well I have to say it irritates me when creators complain about the censorship, then continue to only post over there.  And yes, posting over here but linking YT is quite silly.  I guess it will take time.

My channel on YouTube was active for 10 years without any strikes, but in January I suddenly received two strikes on the same day for an innocent video I made and posted three years ago! My channel was not only suspended, my appeal was denied without explanation.

Cmon Ben how about "Let's talk about it on DTube and Steemit"

Just joking.  The mass adoption to these new platforms has not happened yet.  Hopefully the great content produced by Ben and his team continues to garner interest in alternative platforms like these.  Everyone knows censorship on the old platforms is happening.

"Let's talk about it on STEEMIT, Facebook and Twitter".  The mass adoption of new platforms won't happen unless they are promoted and given the spotlight.  Whether that be a mention within news stories, or the inclusion of a SteemIT / Dtube social media logo.  It's important to get the message out to existing subscriber bases now (and get it out loud), before you no longer can talk to them at all.

Plus anything that promotes a decentralized alternative of companies that abuse the power they have to control narratives.

For Google, besides D.Tube:
- Presearch -> Alternative, decentralized search engine with rewards
- Basic Attention Token -> Soon, getting money after the ads you see.

censorship is a telling sign of the state's ideological standpoint. the america's have gone down a path not seen since the early 1930's in germany. the world needs to get ready for a new and improved adolf hitler whose mandate included fulfilling the georgia guidestones prophecy of limiting the human species to only five hundred million people.

the rubicon was crossed, the die was cast and nothing can stop the events about to unfold.

The events are already transpiring and only an act of God could stop the coming calamity. 

Take a hard balanced look at the various governments justifying censorship - just today on Zerohedge; a story was published on how London's  Mayor, Sadiq Kahn was reading mean tweets in an effort to justify censorship. 

Censorship is favorite tool for totalitarian regimes and a telling sign of things to come.

Now take a look at the world's militaries and how they are positioned. Now dig into the rhetoric coming from the mouths of each and every countries leadership - they don't even care if you believe them or not because thanks to a totally owned media their narrative is about the only version you hear. 

I sure don't need to tell you about media being censored or else you wouldn't be using this service.

You can act surprised when the calamity arrives, but deep down you know just like I do it was planned long before you were even a sparkle in your parents eyes.

yep.  It IS a purge.  I've lost several videos from my YouTube Channel and posts from my Facebook account.  I have 4 friends- who are also alternative media reporters like myself, who've had their entire YT accounts deleted, or lost multiple videos.... just vanished .

The question that I ask is:  What will be the next step in this purge? .... because there will certainly be a next step.

Ok...  BS.  You are free to question and report again.  So...  Did the Pizzagate/Pedogate issue die?  Were your original questions you posed right before getting axed, actually answered?  We can't drain any swamp until this issue is unearthed.  Keeping representatives, administrators and judges under the thumb of these vile compromising acts has got to be thwarted.  What is on Weiner's Laptop that Trump is protecting?

I am currently boycotting YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter.  If and when I hear that truthers are back in business on these channels, I'll go back...otherwise, I'll make do with the alternative social media sites.  I refuse to support fascism disguised as liberalism.

They are not only spying on us... They are blocking us.... we have to keep fighting the media silence. Every day is even more obvious. i hope steemit doesnt get trapped on this information war.. 

@benswann This is happening in Venezuela, we have a information manipulation that is so outrageous that even for the venezuelan people is hard to understand. They are so deep into their day by day issues that they are not alowed to think about the main issue. Is not only the goverment, private companies, the "opossition" thats playing as the good guys when they are the ones that are getting richier. 

I really would like to express everything that is happening there in a fluid and correct way as you do, find the words to describe what is happening in america (All of american countries). I've been traveling a lot and theres evidence that the news are not the same in every place. Not everything that is going out from each country is as the media says. 

From Panama, Venezuela, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, all center america everything is connected, our histories are being repeated, same patherns, same companies involved. 

We already had the root of all the evil that is happening right in our face. The internet made this possible and now they are covering everything they can. 

</center>

they want us dumb...  we cannot let them!!!

It's not just the Americas.  Europe is having a terrible time too, with forced migration from Syria and other middle eastern countries.  The Powers That Be are completely ignoring the Brexit vote.  They'll just keep postponing until they insist on a rigged re-vote. 1984 has arrived.

Great segment Ben. People need to wake up and start boycotting these platforms. The problem is only going to get worse until these industries are regulated. We need to get the Internet Bill of Rights passed to ensure free speech can exist online without getting censored by the powers that be...

It's funny.  You propose legislation, which can only restrict rights, never grant or create them, in the pursuit of freedom.

Have you thought about that much?  

How would you feel if you made a website, spending your own money on it and toiling to make it a reality for whatever purpose you had in mind, and after it was up and running, a bunch of trolls came on and started posting videos advocating burning puppies to death.

Would you want to censor them?  Should you have the right to?  It's your website, that you paid for and made yourself.  

Careful what you call 'censorship', and 'freedom'.  

We can just not use those websites that censor our voices.  No legislation necessary.  

You only need legislation when you're trying to make other people do what you want them to with their stuff.  You can do what you want without legislation making others comply with your will.

This is exactly why I recently joined steemit.  I Being what may be called far left, my independent journalists were getting demonized and deleted from social sites.  Happy I joined.  Cant wait for all Independent journalist voices jump on so I can not use the sponsored mega-sites.

I would not be here if that wasn't the case. 
Not only that Youtube bans channels but also they delete every video from users database.
( Case of alternative media site Southfront does present this issue well so does Syria Analysis and many more users ) 
Both sites had their channels blocked, their videos deleted and after reaction form channel owners (Youtube was in the wrong) they got their channels back but without important videos.

Luckily, archives were shared and downloaded. Silly Youtube.

Since I saw first hand how Cisco Systems was used to buy out tribe.net back in the early days and then quickly moved to destroy it, I saw how the controllers of this planet intended to shut down free discussion online. I have documented (see my DTube and Steemit posts) recently how my comments on Facebook were deleted in realtime, how I lost the ability to post at all and how Facebook never even gave a reason. I have seen similar on Youtube and G+. Even Steemit has sadly shown a similar pattern for me after the technical manager 'Sneak' stated openly he will heavily flag anyone dissenting from the government position on vaccinations. This is an ugly situation, but the good news is that even the tech manager of Steemit cannot silence those who concentrate power in the name of free discussion and transparency. The worst he can do is insert functionality into Steemit which surreptitiously shuts down free speech - however, other sites can replace Steemit.com if that occurs. Many others have commented on this and it is clear that numerous people are well aware that this could snowball into a major problem.

I will be posting a detailed new post on this over the weekend.

Interesting. Myself I've been virtually fenced off from the rest of the internet for years.
My experience so far on Steemit and DTube has showed me the extent of the suppression. My message is exploding again.

Yes, the same for me. I actually created my own social network and it was delisted by Google Search. Google received a 2.1 billion euro fine for exactly this behavior a few months ago and I am considering legal action myself.

Are you going into the rabbit hole of why one of Steemit's key admins is promoting a NWO agenda?

Next Q - what else is he doing and is he alone? - but that is the catch with rabbit holes!

Looking forward to reading your post.

I am not able to comment on the exact motives for his actions, but I will be making a detailed post covering the topic, yes. I have higher priority work to do currently though.

Important message Ben!

There's some irony in your last sentence -

> That's reality check, let's talk about it right now on **_Facebook & Twitter_**

maybe it's time for an update? Steemit and DTube ;)

Ben Swann, you are the voice **everyone** needs to hear, and now more than ever considering some think the solution to this censorship problem is "more legislation."
