...on line, and using THEIR TAX DOLLARS to silence them (and/or to defund/demonetize their website, blogs, etc.)
THIS IS NOT UNEXPECTED...read this verse:
"It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their forehead, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name." Rev. 13: 16-17
I've certainly seen it here on this "libertarian," "first-amendment" website. I am getting EVERY POST downvoted at least once, and many downvoted more than once and grayed out on a daily basis by SJWs and others who may very well be PAID, GOVERNMENT, anti-vaccine-truth spooks. Check out this new article:

Here is an excerpt:
"(There's) a series of articles on how covert government agents infiltrate the Internet to 'manipulate, deceive, and destroy reputations.'
The information is based on documents leaked by National Security Agency (NSA) whistleblower Edward Snowden. Greenwald’s article, How Covert Agents Infiltrate the Internet to Manipulate, Deceive, and Destroy Reputations, is based on four classified documents produced by the British spy agency GCHQ, and presented to the NSA and three other English speaking agencies reportedly part of 'The Five Eyes Alliance.'
In this shocking piece, Greenwald publishes a copy of a spy training manual used entitled: 'The Art of Deception: Training for Online Covert Operations.' Greenwald writes that agencies like the NSA are 'attempting to control, infiltrate, manipulate, and warp online discourse, and in doing so, are compromising the integrity of the internet itself.' Greenwald writes:
Among the core self-identified purposes of JTRIG are two tactics: (1) to inject all sorts of false material onto the internet in order to destroy the reputation of its targets; and (2) to use social sciences and other techniques to manipulate online discourse and activism to generate outcomes it considers desirable."
So...now it's well beyond the (leftoid claim of) "urban myth" and backed by solid documents. So...Where are the Congressional hearings?? Where is the ACLU, whose supposed raison d'etre is protecting the American people from just this sort of abuse??
WHERE?!?!?!
Yea, it ticks me off that I can only make a fraction of what I could have gotten here on STEEMIT while sharing important truther information, but it isn't going to stop me. Don't let the censorship stop you either.

As far as I can tell, we are only allowed to go online at the pleasure of our ISPs, who have been shown to be more than willing to let 'the man' do whatever he wants to our connections.
In order to be able to use the internet and connect to our peers, a vital necessity in today's world that is where free speech happens now, we need mesh networks. I've seen Steem, Pocketnet, and various free speech platforms, but they're just a firewall away from being unavailable, because the ISPs can cut them off as they did New Zealand.
Thanks!

Yea. I've been thinking a lot about that lately, as my connection gets slower and slower over time. Hmmm....

Well, after the Mosque massacres last year were live streamed on Fakebook, the government of New Zealand ordered ISPs to no longer resolve the IPs of the chans, where warnings of the upcoming attack were provided. Weird how the actual vector, Fakebook, was never considered being held accountable, but the free speech platforms that enabled folks to protect themselves were silenced.
Maybe ISPs are slowing our connections down, but the real problem is that they can just completely cut us off at will.

Right. AND...I fully expect that we will one day be expected to log in to have access to the internet, and that those who haven't paid a special "internet access fee," (beyond the ISP charges) and/or who are on a government black list, will simply not have any access.
