[QUOTE="BBinger, post: 1133567, member: 9217"] [b]RE: Gab is getting their Domain seized[/b] The moral of the story is that if you want to resist censorship imposed on your person, your best bet is starting your own blog instead of living off the charity of platforms that welcome all comers, fed or not. The forum Roosh runs here is good, not in spite of, but because of the bans and rules. The simple fact of the matter is you can't expect any platform open to all comers to not devolve into a toilet full of feds. The whole "free speech except for illegal content" shtick is nothing but pure fedbait. You end up with a couple hundred actual users and a few tens of thousands of feds trying to radicalize each other in sting operations. I have a [url=http://bingology.net/2018/10/29/censorship-resistance-in-2018-an-introduction/]draft piece[/url] on my blog full of conclusions that I am going to have to rewrite to build the story of why, but where we are in 2018 is: [list=1] [*]On the internet you don't get the franchise as an anon.
