Just a week or so after Spotify, Google, Apple and Facebook made the curiously synchronized move to kick Alex Jones and InfoWars off their platforms, and just days after Facebook shut down Venezuelan news network TeleSur’s facebook page (for the second time), the war on the free internet has opened up another front.

…and if this website disappears, well, you know what happened.
I’ve just sent off the form. I’m a WordPress premium subscriber due for renewal in 5 weeks, so let’s see how they respond – whether they kick me off, too, or whether they want my $99.
You bet. Every day if necessary. Thanks for this cue.
[…] WordPress blogs shut down. Along with others Scott Creighton an old COTO member lost his blog at American Everyman. This is part of what I predicted at Trumps election that we would be shut down. I am personally […]
