    Ron Paul blocked for those who haven't already caught wind of it here. More details on the above link. Ironically it appears he was blocked for posting an article about facebook excessively censoring people.

    Also specific sub forums of reddit have apparently been removed as well, at least one trump-related one, possibly more.

    And when you don't have water, or electrical provided by them; they will condemn the house as unfit. I have seen some stories in the past about folks living off grid and in town that the local Gov did not approve of.

    People tell me Twitter has a responsibility to their share holders so that's why they HAD to purge...

    Then I show them that Twitter lost something like $5B in value in the last few days. How's that for looking out for shareholders.

    I deleted my twitter account of 7 years or so. Only had 900 followers and lost about 50 over the last week or so.

    Keeping facebook but removed everyone except for close family. I have too many photos on there i want access to. They rely off traffic and if u stop following everyone you've ever met and all the groups, you reduce your traffic footprint there drastically which hurts their bottom line.

    Amazon is the tough one as it saves me so much time. Need an alternative! Maybe walmart?

    Yet the irony is this statement. From of al places, a state that allows rampant rioting and disregard for the business owners who have suffered.

    A spokesperson for Washington Gov. Jay Inslee's office said the attorney general's Consumer Protection Division was "taking a look at the matter." Brionna Aho, a spokesperson for Attorney General Bob Ferguson, said he takes enforcement of the net neutrality law "very seriously."

    Sounds like you've already given this a significant amount of thought and come up with a solution that reflects your dissatisfaction and still meets your needs. I agree that Amazon is likely the toughest one. I do not personally use them, but my household certainly does and they get a fair amount of our money.

    At least designate the Second Amendment Foundation for your AmazonSmile donation.

    FYI: Parler apparently scrapped.

    We live in a world that is increasingly at the mercy of crappy and untested software (Boeing, Solarwinds, Sony). Just one more thought to ruin your day....

    Good point. However I saw Gizmodo has GPS data they claim came from Parler so at this point I would wager someone did in fact get something...
