Killing free speech, indeed. This is part of a much larger endeavor, as The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Free Speech (and Its Enemies) shows. If Leftist censorship isn’t stopped, it will destroy America as a free society.
“Amazon Censors Second Part of ‘Killing Free Speech’ Censorship Documentary,” by Allum Bokhari, Breitbart, July 18, 2020:
Last month, Breitbart News reported on Amazon’s censorship of Killing Free Speech: Part 1, the first part of a documentary about censorship. Amazon has now censored part two of the documentary, which focuses specifically on Big Tech censorship.
Documentary creator Michael Hansen told Breitbart News that Amazon censored part two of the documentary over alleged “offensive content,” but did not specify what specific part of the documentary merited the “offensive” label.
This is the third of Hansen’s documentaries to be censored by Amazon. As Breitbart News reported last year, another of his documentaries, about mass migration and Islam in Europe, was also censored by the Big Tech platform.
Killing Free Speech Parts 1 & 2 are both still available for purchase on Vimeo.
After successfully holding a private screening for border patrol agents, Hansen attempted to arrange a screening of the documentary on Capitol Hill via the office of Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), but was told that any such screening would surely be blocked by the Speaker’s office, which controls theaters on Capitol Hill. After receiving a commitment from staffers at the office of his local representative, Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-NJ), Hansen was subsequently ghosted by the Democrat congressman’s office.
Amazon, founded and run by Jeff Bezos, who also owns the far-left Washington Post, has been intensifying its censorship recently….

The smart people are identifying the people who are smarter than they are and getting rid of those who are smarter by silencing them. It’s only a matter time until they start silencing people by killing them.
J Morgan says
It’s like the beheadings of the statues. It is gruesome to watch as some of them look quite lifelike. What comes next is people.

I just re-read Orwell’s “Animal Farm.” Napoleon and Snowball were the two smartest pigs in charge of things, with Snowball being the smarter of the two. Snowball had the idea of building a windmill to improve productivity on the farm but Napoleon did not like the idea. So Napoleon figured out a way to get rid of Snowball. Later on Napoleon had the animals build the windmill – with the animals eventually coming to believe “Napoleon is always right.”

Freedom of expression will almost disappear in the US if the Democrats take the congress and presidency.
CogitoErgoSum says
The Democrats are really no longer the Democratic Party. They are actually the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) Party but are not ready for the American people to know that just yet.

Only if we cower to allow them to control us in that manner. Patrick Henry drew the line in the sand that we should stand on.

Amazon is too big, too powerful and in short it has become a monopoly just as Standard Oil was. It should be broken up as was Standard Oil.
Amazon is in fact killing free speech and not just the film.
Don’t the executives at Amazon have any CONSCIENCE?
Millions of people worldwide have given their lives for free speech.
Westman says
George Orwell assumed that government would be running The Ministry Of Truth in his novel of a dystopian society, 1984. He could not have imagined how interconnected the world would become nor how powerful the non-government servers of information and controllers(holders) of mass patents would become.
Government and business have become subservient to the major tech corporations who now control both the means and content of communication. Tech Corporations get dragged into Congress for questioning and it’s all smoke and mirrors to make the public believe something is being done about monopoly and control. Congress acts as if it expects some special privilege or power to be extended to it by being soft.
Worse yet, much of the internal bias against society comes from the workers of the information giants; many who learned to hate the rest of society as young misfits and nerds who were chosen last for sports.
Frankly, Zuckerberg and Bezos can’t affect the workers biases which will drift into the programming. Today’s situation is truly, The Revenge Of The Nerds. A group, without maturity, now holds major power. And when youth hold power it can become unwise revolution.

I am reminded that one of the small differences between communism and fascism is that fascism allows private ownership of business… so long as that business does the government’s bidding.

Yes–pretty much the only difference.

OLD GUY says
The beginning of socialism and communism both always starts with the out lawing of freedom of speech. Followed by the dis-arming of the citizens and then comes the storm troopers to rid all who disagree with the new order. What you end up with is a handful vary wealthy greedy people and the remaining population lives in slums. Not a great looking future if that’s where we are heading.

Bezos is mad with power. Instead of just becoming a rich man and enjoying the fruits of his genius and labor, he is using his company to promote his world vision: a world without Conservatives.

Yahoo.ca and yahoo.com have disabled their commenting sections. No loss really, they were rabidly far left and heavily censored and removed any comments that weren’t in agreement with their hard left stance. They will be losing a lot in advertising revenue.
