Night digital knives: Silicon Valley is launching the biggest purge of Internet censorship in history

As the fallout from the Unite failed rally right in Charlottesville,
Virginia continued last weekend, leftist controlled technology and social
media have begun to censor the mass of right and forbid them from their
platforms. While sites such as Twitter were hostile to the right for a long
time, events in Charlottesville & # 8212; where the agitator alt left
Heather Heyer was killed by rally participant James Alex Fields, Jr. & #
8212 ;. Gave the leftist management the excuse of the sites that they need
to clean their ideologically websites.
To date, many of the extreme right and personalities sites have been banned
from PayPal, Twitter, PayPal, Stripe, Facebook, Instagram, MailChimp,
Soundcloud, Uber, and countless other platforms. To make matters worse,
domain registrars, and maintenance business website such as CloudFlare and
GoDaddy have no platformed The Daily Stormer, keeping the site offline
since Sunday. It is clear that ideological dissenters will have to change
their tactics in order to keep their websites and other online platforms.

Even before the rally Charlottesville, right were targeted free-platforming
by leftist social media converged and financial platforms. Since Donald
Trump the election, we have witnessed a wave of attacks in Silicon Valley,
the demonetization mass political dissidents YouTube videos to ban
individuals such as Hunter Wallace and Davis Aurini editor ROK Roosh
Valizadeh PayPal .
Heading to unite the right, began to cancel Airbnb rightists accounts that
renting apartments suspects were in Charlottesville to attend the rally.
The day of the rally itself, right alt Media Red Ice was hacked by antifa,
and personal Twitter accounts hosts Henrik Palmgren and Lana Lokteff; the
site is still online. Baked Alaska and James Allsup were also banned Uber
after being expelled by their driver allegedly to be & # 8221 racist. This
was all a prelude to what came next.
The first wave of the right to assault came on Sunday, when several
participants from the main rally, including Pax Dickinson, Mike Enoch, and
Levi Smith, were banned from Twitter. Dickinson of the ban is not long
after revealing how local police had deliberately introduced the
participants of the rally to be overwhelmed and attacked by antifa.

I'm banned me from Facebook suddenly. I trouble, I'll post the same can & #
39; t imagine what I could do to get banned.

In the coming days, PayPal and Facebook announced a major crackdown on the
right. Facebook has banned pages and personal accounts of numerous
personalities and right sites, including the American Renaissance,
Christopher Cantwell, Pax Dickinson, and the Traditionalist Party workers.
PayPal also prohibits Cantwell, Richard Spencer, Jason Kessler, American
Renaissance, VDARE, and countless others to use their services, cutting off
a vital source of funds. In the latter two cases, and Amren VDARE are
prohibited, although neither they nor their leaders had any involvement
with Unite the right.

MailChimp has a massive purge on Monday CounterFund @ & # 39; Account has
also been canceled, and at least 4 others I know. https://t.co/d288wRY5tW

In addition, MailChimp has served many rightists to use its mailing list
services, including Christopher Cantwell and Pax Dickinson s Counter.Fund.
Cantwell was also banned from YouTube permanently and can be completely
ruined because of his involvement in the Unite law. Discord also banned
alt-right servers.
To make matters worse, leftists began attacking hosts, domain registrars
and other infrastructure services that rely on the right to keep their
sites online. Rootbocks and Hatreon, two alternatives to free speech and
GoFundMe patreon, respectively, were forced to change domains and webhosts
after being banned because of their refusal to ban right. Freedom of
expression replacement Gab Twitter has undergone several DDoS attacks for
the same reasons, and alternative law blog was deleted from Blogger last
night.

This is the largest DDoS attack against Gab in our existence. Happening our
first anniversary. Only propelling our message.

But no site has suffered as much as The Daily Stormer. After publishing a
Sunday paper mocking Heather Heyer, they were forced to leave their domain
registrar GoDaddy after complained alt-leftists. They went to Google
Domains, for their area seized in violation of Google's terms of service.
The Daily Stormer is currently available on the deep web and may not be
able to return to normal.
What is amazing is that the controlled technology organizations
alt-left-aren t even hide their desire to purge the right organizations.
For example, the anti-DDoS CloudFlare prohibited Stormer The only daily
service because their CEO awoke in a bad mood, he admitted in an e-mail to
the company-wide:
Let me be clear: it was an arbitrary decision. It was different from what I
had spoken with our management team yesterday. I woke up this morning in a
bad mood and decided to launch the Internet. I called our legal team and
told them what we were doing. I called our Trust & amp; the security team
and had to stop the service. It was a decision that I could do because I am
the CEO of a major Internet infrastructure company.
Purge has grown to the point that Lauren Southern & # 8212; which is
absolutely not affiliated with alt-right and was not present in
Charlottesville & # 8212; Instagram is almost forbidden, despite its
account there is completely apolitical. As Hamish s Tweet shows above,
these are far from the only examples of rightists be purged without
platformed, censored, or simply harassed. Others, such as social matters s
Ryan Landry and AltRight.com/Arktos’ Jason Reza Jorjani, chose to
leave the alt-law altogether.
Where do we go from here?

Imagine if we got to the last 15 years of activity on the Internet, on a
slightly smaller scale but new? #AltTech

While purging rightists platforms of traditional financial and social media
appears to be slowing somewhat, it is clear that the law can not rely on
these services to promote or fund their operations. The fact that the
previously neutral platforms such as protection systems domain registration
offices and DDoS such as CloudFlare also begin right is a cooling
development, because it means that platforms such alt-tech that Gab
Rootbocks Hatreon and are at risk of not -platformed well.
While I believe that nationalism will triumph of globalization, it is clear
that the right will have to take drastic measures to save their First
Amendment rights. In addition to reducing or eliminating their dependence
on traditional platforms, right will also need to eliminate the use of Nazi
imagery & # 8212; even a joke & # 8212; and mitigate their criticism of the
Jews. Just like how Roosh was able to maintain its relevance in spite of
not being able to talk about rape, the dissident right can maintain its
relevance without turning into Nazis Hollywood.
In addition, the dissident right can not watch President Trump for the
protection of the alt-left. While Trump made his displeasure left alt known
publicly, its lack of action against the & # 8212; and against
non-platforming of his supporters right & # 8212; says it doesn t
understand the problem or doesn t care. For now at least, we are ourselves.
