I just want to say, I called this years ago:

https://battlepenguin.com/politics/the-new-era-of-corporate-...

    They came for Alex Jones and I said nothing
    Because I didn't believe in gay frogs[1]

    They came for Daily Stormer and I said nothing
    Because I knew nothing about Daily Stormer and believed everything the media I said about them because their site was gone

    They came for ever heterodox opinion on Reddit and I said nothing
    Because I believed those opinions were wrong
    and Reddit was within their rights as a private company to ban them

    Then I had a heterodox opinion and lost my Google account, my Facebook account, my phone numbers I ported to Twilio because I thought that was safe, and all means of communicating with friends whose phone numbers I did not get.
And there was no one left to give a shit.

It's really your fault you know.
