Mozilla says ‘deplatforming’ Trump isn’t enough, wants to shield internet from ‘bad actors’ as users uninstall Firefox in disgust

James Fetzerblog

©  REUTERS/Albert Gea Mozilla, developer of the Firefox internet browser, has argued that more must be done to keep Donald Trump and other “bad actors” out of cyberspace, prompting many to vow to never use the group’s services again. , In a blog post titled ‘We need more than deplatforming’, the open-source software community said that Twitter’s decision to permanently ban Trump from its platform didn’t go far enough in weeding out “hate” on the internet. While blaming Trump for the “siege and take-over” of the US Capitol on January 6, the non-profit tech group argued…

Tyler Durden, The Boot Is Coming Down Hard And Fast

James Fetzerblog

Tyler Durden Authored by Caitlin Johnstone via Medium.com,   …The censorship of a political faction at the hands of a few liberal Silicon Valley billionaires will do the exact opposite of eliminating right-wing paranoia and conspiracy theories, and everyone knows it. You’re not trying to make things better, you’re trying to make them worse. You’re not trying to restore peace and order, you’re trying to force a confrontation so your political enemies can be crushed. You’re accelerationist.   A lot’s been happening really fast. It’s a white noise saturation day and…

Ron Avery, Website Host Use Premature Court Judgments & The Digital Millennium Copyright Act to Censor Threats to Mass Media Cartel Narratives

James Fetzerblog

Ron Avery [Editor’s note: As a form of punishment for exposing Sandy Hook, I was the target of a classic SLAPP suit masquerading as a defamation. For background, see “Why the Sandy Hook ‘Pozner v. Fetzer’ Lawsuit Matters: What’s Really at Stake” (18 January 2020). For a downloadable copy of the brief, click here. My legal fees have run over $70,000 to date, of which I have been able (with a little help from my friends) to cover $30,000, where I need to raise an additional $40,000. Anyone who would like to…

Jack Mullen, The Coming Internet Purge of Vaccine-Related Truth

James Fetzerblog

By Jack Mullen Richie Allen, a UK based alternative media radio show host explained that he had information from insiders at Google/Youtube saying a purge would take place just before Coronavirus (“plandemic”) vaccines were made ready to “plunge into the arms” of the people. I heard from him this morning. He told me two things. He said that when the covid vaccine is ready, or shortly before then, Google/YouTube is planning to take down thousands of channels that have traditionally hosted open discussion around vaccine safety. They will do this…

Fred Reed, America: A Country Not Salvageable Nor, Many Say Quietly, Worth Saving

James Fetzerblog

FRED REED What fun, what entertainment. And rare: One seldom sees the collapse of a landmark society in a rush of wondrous idiocy. Would I could sell tickets. Don’t look at it as a loss, but as a show, an unwanted but grand amusement. The coup de grace in our ripening decadence is the current uprising purportedly, though implausibly, over racism. But never mind. The causes don’t matter. The deal is done. Still, it is interesting to recognize that the protesters are, perhaps deliberately, confusing the incapacity of blacks with…

Kurt Nimmo, ADL, Sacha Baron Cohen, and the Criminalization of Thought

James Fetzerblog

Kurt Nimmo My brief hiatus from this blog was interrupted by a call to strip countless Americans—beginning with a select group—of the right to say and write whatever they want without the undue intervention of special interest billionaires and political pressure organizations. I’m talking about Sacha Baron Cohen, the “comedian” and provocateur who recently gave an authoritarian speech at the Anti-Defamation League advocating widespread censorship of “antisemites” on social media. “I’m just a comedian and an actor, not a scholar,” Cohen said. “But one thing is pretty clear to me.  All this…

Using the “protection of children” to censor the internet: YouTube + COPPA = GAME OVER

James Fetzerblog

Jim Fetzer We have wondered how the Deep State would cope with the Internet, where videos made by its critics and exposes of orchestrated events like JFK and 9/11 and staged events like Sandy Hook and the Boston bombing have made a profound impact upon the American people, who have gradually awaked to the realization that Donald Trump has been right: the mainstream media are masters at propagating “Fake News”, even going so far as to create fake “fact checkers” who can certify false claims as true on behalf of…

Eugene Volokh, Attempt to Vanish Posts Critical of the Sandy Hook Hoax Libel Judgment

James Fetzerblog

EUGENE VOLOKH   A request under the name of Leonard Pozner — the plaintiff in that case — was submitted to Google, asking it to deindex these criticisms (which aren’t themselves covered by the judgment). Lenny Pozner, the father of a boy (Noah Pozner) killed in the Sandy Hook, sued James Fetzer and Mike Palacek, who cowrote (sic) the book “Nobody Died at Sandy Hook.” The book had claimed, among other things, that “Noah Pozner’s death certificate is a fake, which we have proven on a dozen or more grounds.” “[Mr.…

YouTube Removes 17,000 Channels, 100,000 Videos, 500 Million Comments for “Hate Speech”

James Fetzerblog

 BRADFORD HANSON · 29 SEPTEM YouTube says it has removed more than 17,000 channels for “hate speech”, representing a spike in takedowns since its new “hate speech policy” went into effect in June. THE GOOGLE-OWNED company calls the June update — in which YouTube said it would specifically prohibit videos that “glorify Nazi ideology” or deny “documented violent events” like the so-called Holocaust — a “fundamental shift in our policies” that resulted in the takedown of more than 100,000 individual videos during the second quarter of the year. The number of comments…

Paul Craig Roberts, Will The Matrix Prevail?

James Fetzerblog

Paul Craig Roberts Readers have kept this website going longer than I had hoped.  It is a lot of work for me.  My columns and those of guests generate a lot of appreciation and also a lot of demonization and expressions of hatred toward me.  The slightest criticism of Israel labels one an anti-semite.  People who are aware understand that this word is so over-used that it has become meaningless, but the insouciant conclude that if you are labeled an anti-semite you are some kind of monster who wants to harm Jews.  If you point…
