Banned By Patreon | Let The Witch Hunt Begin
I have been intending on starting a Patreon account but you've given me second thoughts... also about using PayPal, which I don't like either nor who they are nor the way they limit the uses for your account, or moving it ....
As far as existing folks with Patreon accounts, I hope they're in outside-of-Patreon/Youtube touch with their major backers about setting up; an alternative account somewhere.. and other means of payment.... probably cryptos or maybe credit union credit cards which won't yield to pressure, Thinkin' maybe I'll use Bitcoin now......for whatever other means of funding other than a Patreon account I find.
This reminds me of how the BC government shut down political content in the Georgia Straight by strangling them by ending govt advertising with the weekly.
But it also points out the too-much-power that Silicon Valley has, and its amoral and exploitive and increasingly corporatist actions... like this censoring of creators who found Patreon which gave them a voice and help;d others find them and fund them....who now Patreon is silencing for their political views... or bits of long-ago personal commentary used as a weapon to silence them.
A digital Tienanmen is needed, a freeing of the web from the data-harvesting oligopolies and a break-up of the web cartels and the digital chattel slavery they have built their power and their fortunes on.
Youtube and Google are making it hard to find news on the revolution in France... even if I search for Canadian domestic news, there's only certain things Google will find even though we have hundreds of newspapers and online zines and rags and blogs of all kinds. Hard to find anything recent about anything, unless sit's sensationalized coverage of something
for all this talk of us actually being a hologram in someone else''s universe, in more tangible terms we only see the hologram that Google and Youtube and Yahoo and so on want us to see, and nothing more.
There is SO MUCH MORE..... it's not funny. You are shown only a very filtered reality... targeted at you....
where the Yellow Vest revolution is needed is in Silicon Valley... at those companies' own desks/lounges/lawns etc..
