The censorship and silencing of alternative and truth media has been kicked into high gear. Twitter, Facebook and the worst offender YouTube are banning many prominent alt media personalities and truth seekers. YouTube channels with massive followings have been getting 3 strikes and then flat out banned within a matter of a couple days, the last of which I just heard about was Ron Johnson's STFNews. Alex Jones has reported that he has received 2 strikes and is 1 away from a full ban as well. This is akin to what George Orwell wrote about in 1984. The deep state underestimated the power of the alternative media and social media during the last election and they are putting in place measures to ensure they will not have to face an awakened populous in future elections. Regardless if you are a fan of Alex Jones or Ron Johnson or if you voted for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton the fact of the matter remains that the first amendment is under a full on attack and everyone should care about the importance of free speech and freedom of the press regardless of your political beliefs.
So how can we counter this? Blockchain technology and decentralization is one of the ways. You are on Steemit right now, which is a revolutionary platform. Spread the word of Steemit to everyone you know. Do you or anyone you know produce video content? Direct them to D.Tube once they sign up for Steemit and tell them to start building a following there. Gab.ai is not on the blockchain however it is a social media platform that was developed with free speech being the objective. Start using this as well. Until class action lawsuits start happening we need to spread the word of the great alternative platforms that are out there. We refuse to be silenced!
