Last week I wrote about Twitter cancelling conservative Christian group “Focus on the Family.” This week its YouTube’s turn. ReclaimTheNet reports. The YouTube channel for LifeSiteNews, a non-profit Christian news outlet, has been purged from the platform for “violating YouTube’s community guidelines.” “YouTube just completely removed the LifeSiteNews
As reported on The BFD, Twitter has a strange habit of blatantly ignoring child abuse material on its platform, even when the victims directly report it. Apparently, child porn doesn’t go against their “community standards” in the same way that conservative politics does. Facebook is almost as assiduous as
In the last decade or so, there have been at least 11 Islamic terror attacks or thwarted plots in Denmark. There have been no Christian terror attacks. So which religion is the Danish government persecuting? Christian churches in Denmark will be required to translate and submit all sermons to the
What is going on at MediaWorks? First, it was John Banks and now it’s Sean Plunket. It seems as if the company is trying to pre-empt the proposed hate speech laws and get in first. Their CEO Cam Wallace certainly seems to be intent on implementing a woke philosophy.
In the early days of cancel culture (c. 2016-2018) it was wise to oppose it, but few did. Now we’re well past the point of no return. The tide is coming in, and only a fool would dare to oppose it. During the early days, “build your own” was

As we in the West increasingly throw away our hard-won free speech rights, it’s worth paying attention to those who’ve never had them. You don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone; more importantly, you only really appreciate something if you’ve never had it.

Cancel Culture worldwide is cancelling conservative individuals and conservative media outlets for wanting to discuss the things that so-called progressives want buried. In the short term, this appears to be a calamity for those of us on the right side of politics but in reality, it is the beginning of
Twitter is apparently able to hunt down and exterminate wrongthink with a single algorithm. Its censorship resolutely sniffs out conservative tendencies like a bloodhound on the scent.
