The business model switched from a free exchange of ideas to a protection racket so fast we never even noticed.
It took only two years to go from disappearing Milo and Alex Jones to banning content said to "amplify narratives that undermine faith in NATO."
Imagine where the line will be two years from now.

Don’t you folks remember the warning labels that accompanied the Trump Russia collusion “narrative?’ Neither do I.
They just say what they have to say to get away with their selective prejudice, mendacity and malevolent motives.
Say hello to the neo-haters, the vast majority of society now on their target list, most notably those who can think for themselves.
We fall for it, given we are still, for the moment, a democracy, it’s on us and we’ll get it real hard if any of us offend the neo virtuous.
NATO : You mean the North Atlantic grift that went obsolete decades ago?
I imagine they’ll be gunning for “The Gaggle” (on YouTube) for their mockery of the Biden “Rip Van Winkles” for their desperation to resurrect the archaic Cold War.
I’m hoping this bankrupted economic system tanks before they get too much further.
And all these politicians lock themselves into a rotating gab fest and burn out.
I doubt it as we still have Trudeau in power and nobody of value to replace him.
When will it be illegal to criticize China?
It already is they changed the China virus and deem it racist.
Remember it is Covid-19.
You’ll be deemed racist and get a good tongue lashing…
You racist pig.
We’ve always been at war with Eastasia, comrade.
Canada is way ahead in this department. Look what happened to Sun News.
You can tell Nato failed to keep the commie fascists out because they are running twitter, google, and facebook
NATO is busy doing gender-based analysis of their war plans. No word of a lie. Is it any wonder these poofters can’t take criticism on Twitter? God forbid somebody yells mean things at NATO soldiers on a battlefield.
First they came for Robert Stanfield

Where’s the sternly worded letter when you need it?
Some years ago, I became acquainted with an esteemed *cough* *cough* Professor of Political Science at UC Berkeley. Quick! Guess his political affiliation! Yep. As leftist as you can get. Well we were discussing some issues occurring within a sports league our kids played in, and this man let me know in no uncertain terms that he HATED debate. Hated the free exchange of ideas. He suggested that the Board of Directors of the League stop allowing parents from expressing their opinions and ideas.
His HATE for divergent ideas was intractable and over the top. I was shocked by how much he REFUSED to even LISTEN to opposing ideas. He was a Professor of Political Science, fer God’s sake … the title implies multiple opinions and positions. But not for this man. In his demented mind, there was only ONE “right” opinion … and all others should be silenced.
I’m not surprised by this current wave of totalitarian leftist fascism at all. It’s how the left thinks. Like Peter Strozk … the Left truly believes every conservative “smells of WalMart” and should be shunned like an exiled Amish apostate.
Way I read that,NATO will be refused access.
For everything that comes out of NATO “undermines faith ” in their abilities
NATO is a self extinguishing organization.
Long over due for abandonment.
Hell NATO is almost as useless as that Temporary income tax to pay for the First World War..
Refresh my memory,we lost that one as well?
For it is pretty clear we lost the second one,as the fascists are swarming the free right now.
Which brings us back to NATO..What are they defending?
Nato is defending
Skanks
Chicomms
Faggs
Tranny’s
Democrats
Smashed. And I have my own ideas as what that would consist of if I had the chance.
Won’t be long now and they’ll be gunning for the holy grail… ISPs.
Caught a bit of the “Disinformation hearings today in D.C. – Not exactly encouraging.
Soledad O’Brien of all people lecturing Congressmen on what constitutes good journalism was particularly surreal.
Bright light? Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers who let ’em have it with both barrels.
I had that playing in the background while I was working on my taxes today. OMG I wanted to throw up. :(< It’s shocking to hear some “expert” and Congresspeople actually SAY that the 1st Amendment is … flawed. And in need of revision. We are entering a dark, dark, chapter in our country … just as Joe Chi Minh predicted.
Do a fun exercise: compare Russia’s GDP to the top 5 European countries (combined). The top 5’s economy is about 7 to 10 times larger. If these moochers spent the promised 3% GDP on Defense, they would absolutely bury Russia, even with the apalling Defense industry and government corruption and graft, and not even need the US or NATO. Myself, I just look at how useless NATO was in Afghanistan and how useless some Nations’ military has become.
