The Censorship of Unity2020
Eric Renderking Fisk | September 9th, 2020
Recorded on August 28th, Jason Cousineau and Eric Renderking Fisk discuss how Bret Weinstein's political movement "Unity2020" has been suppressed by Twitter and the account for it has been suspended for amplifying #JustSayNoToDonaldAndJoe.
The conversation then moves to how censorship, shadowbanning, and de-platforming is killing the business model of mainstream platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram and is opening the door for others such as MeWe and Parler. By the way, you can also find us on MeWe and Parler... too. Just search for The Fedora Chronicles there... too.

RT: No cooperation allowed? Twitter suspends cancel culture prof's 'Articles of Unity' call for bipartisanship & BLOCKS website | August 28th, 2020 15:54
Unity 2020, a campaign launched by 'canceled' Evergreen College Professor Bret Weinstein to join the disaffected left and right to 'fix' US democracy, has been yanked from Twitter and had its website banned. The campaign's Twitter account was suspended on Thursday night as US President Donald Trump accepted the Republican Party's nomination for the 2020 presidential race. Weinstein told his followers the account was disabled for "amplifying" the hashtag #JustSayNotoDonaldandJoe, which had been tweeted more than 11,000 times by the time @ArticlesofUnity got the ax.
