This week was a bad one for FANG as FB dropped 20% immediately after the market closed on Wednesday once it was disclosed that Headcount was up 47% in the Quarter and Cash-Flow was down 20%. All of "strum und drang" is in the wake of further evidence that Conservative Opinion and FaceBook/Twitter/Youtube viewers are being increasingly repressed, shutdown and marginalized. [Even Alex Jones of Infowars was outrageously effected!]
Happily the fever also spread to others including the primary ire of my rage TWTR (but not GOOG who seems to be insulated from this rage - so far).
To mark this return to reality for these gravity-defying Social Media stocks and in honour of all the remarkable Conservative/Libertarian personalities and viewpoints have been banned, taken off-line or threatened with unemployment I posted this (Jan 2018) YouTube video on my Twitter account. Of course its producer @BakedAlaska has been "disappeared" from the service a long time ago - as have many others.
I will be moving to Gab.ai in next few days - and I hope others do as well. As hard a habit it is to shed - we can not be complicit in our own silencing - and dropping off Twitter and FaceBook (I committed full FaceBook Seppiku in Dec 2017) is necessary to make them feel it.
And the Conservative Purge has not stopped there. Recently Faith Goldy (who just announced that she will be running for Toronto Mayor) and RedIceTV have been banned by from receiving payments by PayPal.
I recommend we all consider alternatives like:
Vk.com (Russian FaceBook)
gab.ai (Twitter Social Media replacement)
BitChute.com (YouTube replacment)
ProtonMail.com (secure email)
