The Corporate "HATE" insanity has even permeated into Technical web sites, i.e. MIT Technology Review, The Download.
1st Story - The scramble to archive Capitol insurrection footage before it disappears. What’s happening: Digital sleuths are trying to archive videos and images of the storming of the US Capitol on January 6 and some are working to identify participants. Mainstream tools and websites like Google Docs, Twitter, and Reddit, are being used to preserve the data for posterity. Is this… okay? Doxxing—revealing people’s real identities online—has become more mainstream. But that creates ethical quandaries. The data now being archived could haunt people in the photos for years to come, even if they later renounce or pay criminal penalties for their actions. Read the full story (technologyreview.com).
Other Story Lines - **Amazon has pulled Parler offline ** What's happening: Parler, a site which bills itself as a "free speech social network" and that was widely used to coordinate the storming of the Capitol last week, has gone offline after Amazon stopped hosting it on Sunday night, citing terms of service violations. Parler had come under mounting pressure over the weekend as Google then Apple pulled its app from their app stores over its role as a platform used to plan violent, illegal acts and its reluctance to moderate the site more stringently.
About Parler: Parler launched in 2018 as a virtually unmoderated version of Facebook and Twitter. It was originally a fringe website but it has seen user numbers grow rapidly in recent weeks after Biden's election win. It has become a safe haven for hate group members, conspiracists, and people who have been banned elsewhere online. Violence is regularly openly discussed.
Where next for Parler: It is entirely feasible that another hosting company will step in and offer to host Parler now it's been dropped by Amazon. 8chan, a website used by mass shooters to post videos and manifestoes, was banned by hosting company Cloudflare in 2019. It was back online in just a few weeks. [Read the full story.] (technologyreview.com)
Twitter bans Trump The news: Less than 24 hours after President Trump was allowed back on Twitter, the social media platform announced on Friday afternoon, January 8, that it was permanently suspending his @realdonaltrump account “due to the risk of further incitement of violence.” The decision followed several more tweets warning that his supporters would not be “disrespected” and saying he would not attend the inauguration of Joe Biden.
Will it make a difference? Banning Trump from posting on social platforms does have the immediate and obvious impact of decreasing his ability to communicate directly with his followers. But it does not suddenly dismantle the ecosystem of online extremism, or stop networks like Fox News and Newsmax that have fed conspiracy thinking. [Read the full story] (technologyreview.com)

SUGGESTIONS THAT ARE KNOWN TO WORK
BIG #1. Boycott advertisers - Boycott and notify advertisers of, let's say, CNN. An app can be developed to allow "our side" to list and respond to advertisers we find offensive. A "STICKY" can be placed here to keep it going.
March, protest and shut down DC and other radical leftist areas. This has to be coordinated and on going, as in, "Good morning Patriot, today is your day to protest"
Send elected officials "ADMINISTRATIVE NOTICES" citing their violation of their oath of office, their illegal actions and what you want them to stop doing. In a case of, let's say, "An Article of Impeachment" use that language against them.
Harass and harangue them every where they are. In their offices, on the street, at a restaurant, airports, golf courses etc.
NO REST - NO REST - NO REST
