Yet another example of tech companies showing their liberal bias and shutting down non liberals .
These tech companies pride themselves on the exchange of information but it looks like if the information isn’t of the liberal variety they want it banned and censored .
—-
Reddit has banned the second-largest pro-President Trump subreddit, The Great Awakening, as tech platforms increasingly ban Trump-supporting and conservative forums.

Top Reddit moderators made Big League Politics aware of the fact that “The Great Awakening” was banned Tuesday night at 11:45 PM. The subreddit has been down all day.

Top Reddit moderators have provided Big League Politics with information showing that left-wing operatives including an employee of CBS have been involved in posing as Trump supporters to post offensive anonymous content on Reddit in order to get pro-Trump subreddits flagged. BLP will be rolling out that information today as this censorship purge goes into high gear.

The CBS employee has been identified by top Reddit moderators as Gary Phillips, who serves as digital media administrator for CBS Studios International in Los Angeles.

Phillips runs a private subreddit in which he makes clear his liberal ideology, and plans his covert actions against Trump subreddits according to copious information reviewed by the editorial staff.

I'm going to make a wild guess that whatever was in that forum was truly vile.

It just so happens that the language Trump supporters use tends to be more vicious and violent than posts from anti-trumpets. I can see here, too - Trump supporters tend to post opinions with more insults; Trump opposers tend to post more with facts.

This isn't liberal bias.

Those q nutters are unhinged. Even folks at the Donald don't tolerate them anymore.

As I understand it, this was the big Q-Anon gathering place besides their site. That in itself is a trip...looks like 90s website design.

So social media can't remove political people or groups without it being anything but political. If someone broke TOS, they broke the rules and deserved to be punished accordingly. All I ask for is the rules to be followed unilaterally.

Definition of tolerance

“the ability or willingness to tolerate something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with.”

They can never make up their minds. Liberals are rich over-educated elites, but also low-life minorities, they are unemployed socialists but also control all academics, entertainment, high tech, fashion and much of corporate America. They are nothing and they are everything, depending on which argument serves a Trump supporter's purpose.

All Trump supporters have to do is create a website and promote it. They really need to stop pretending they are victims, it's become a sad joke.

It's a private company so they can do as they wish.

Having said that all they're doing is helping Trump win in 2020.
