The First Great Deplatforming of 2021

And you though 2021 would be any better....

I woke this morning to the news that Ron Paul has been banned from Facebook. While I hate Facebook’s guts and everyone involved in creating that cesspool of conformity and control, and I think them having one fewer person captive in their walled garden is a good thing, there are some extremely disturbing trends coalescing.

The ban was done on the grounds of “Violation of Facebook’s Terms of Service”, implying that Ron Paul did something wrong, which is a massive, steaming pile of bull. This is a man of the highest integrity that I have every seen, including people of rank in large religious institutions, being on the level of respect I give to my own father. He has consistently done what he has said he will do in the face of overwhelming corruption in DC, a Constitutional libertarian. Some of the people that have been kicked off mainstream platforms there might have been some hint of validity, but not here.
