A Canadian friend who has been taking on a Canadian purveyor of deliberate disinformation and racist propaganda in the courts, and losing, for reasons of judges appointed by Stephen Harper and judges who don't seem to care about or understand how deliberate disinformation and racist propaganda poisons all our lives, has now been unceremoniously banned from Twitter.
No explanation forthcoming. Just had his account deleted. So score another white power win for the Canadian purveyor of deliberate disinformation and racist propaganda.
Meanwhile, the other day I witnessed a fellow on Facebook offer to have a word with Jack Dorsey about this predictable course of events, for me, anyway, in which the billionaire white tech bro's free speech empire opts to deny access to the free speech rights of the good guy in favour of the bad guy's right to continue profiting from his purveying of deliberate disinformation and racist propaganda.
Now this friend of mine is a person of some resources, but not endless resources, who is doing the public good of exposing fraudulent fundraising practices by the owner of this propaganda outlet, a propaganda outlet that employs known white nationalists, and who is known for his tactic of tying up critics in court for years on end. I mean, lordy, there are even tapes! Leaked to the public! By disgruntled former employees!
I'm not on Twitter, but I read it, and because I'm not on it, caught up in its swirling vortex of opining, I can see, in addition to the pointlessness of it all, the white nationalist bot armies that populate it, and the purveyors of deliberate disinformation and racist propaganda who poison all our lives, dominating it.
But, of course, Twitter can't host Donald Trump and pretend to be anything other than a purveyor of deliberate disinformation and racist propaganda itself, can it.
