ORIGINAL: BoscoX FR Corporations as the new morality police Kinda ironic Leftists hate megacorporations, yet it's the megacorporations who cater to leftists and do so much of their bidding Related: Silicon Valley escalates its war on white supremacy despite free speech concerns Tech companies such as PayPal are now reversing their hands-off approach about content supported by their services and making it much more difficult for “alt-right” groups to reach mass audiences. Silicon Valley significantly escalated its war on white supremacy this week, choking off the ability of hate groups to raise money online, removing them from Internet search engines, and preventing some sites from registering at all. The new moves go beyond censoring individual stories or posts. Tech companies such as Google, GoDaddy and PayPal are now reversing their hands-off approach about content supported by their services and making it much more difficult for alt-right organizations to reach mass audiences. But the actions are also heightening concerns over how tech companies are becoming the arbiters of free speech in America. And in response, right-wing technologists are building parallel digital services that cater to their own movement. Gab.ai, a social network for promoting free speech, was founded in August 2016 by Silicon Valley engineers alienated by the region’s liberalism. Other conservatives have founded Infogalactic, a Wikipedia for the alt-right, as well as crowdfunding tools Hatreon and WeSearchr. The latter was used to raise money for James Damore, a white engineer who was fired after criticizing Google’s diversity policy. “If there needs to be two versions of the Internet so be it,” Gab.ai tweeted Wednesday morning. The company’s spokesman, Utsav Sanduja, later warned of a “revolt” in Silicon Valley against the way tech companies are trying to control the national debate. “There will be another type of Internet who is run by people politically incorrect, populist, and conservative,” Sanduja said. Some adherents to the alt-right — a fractious coalition of neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and those opposed to feminism — said in interviews they will press for the federal government to step in and regulate Facebook and Google, an unexpected stance for a movement that is skeptical of government meddling. Read the Constitution fuckwit. The Constitution ONLY applies in situations between the government and individuals, not individuals and employers. thats why corporate fascism works so well. corps form and are regulated under the gubmint, the are private, hence the gubmint is not violating your right but the private corp. the whole fucking system is designed to separate the people from the gubmint.
