Crowdfunding site Patreon this week banned the accounts of several controversial public figures, part of a wider push by tech companies to de-platform users linked to the alt-right and far right. The ban will be a particular blow for Benjamin, who was earning more than $12,000 a month from the crowdfunding site. Benjamin did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Patreon is the latest technology company to cut off payment options for users linked to hate groups or hate speech. PayPal and Stripe have previously taken similar action. https://news.vice.com/en_us/article/qvqeev/crowdfunding-site-patreon-is-purging-far-right-figures --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Note that Doom Art doesn't actually agree with there being a free market and just chose this position only in this topic since he believes it sticks it to the right to do so.

I can see an argument for why e.g. PayPal shouldn't limit people based on ideologies but there seems little reason that Patreon shouldn't be able to limit whatever projects they want to.

It's ridiculous that Sargon of Akkad is considered far right or a conspiracy theorist. Unless he's significantly collapsed in the last year or so since I last paid much attention, he always came across as being quite reasonable.

Yeah, this basically proves that the left (including the Great White Saviors of Silicon Valley as Sargon put it) are just going to mislabel anyone who is not politically correct and parroting leftist nonsense. Then they're going to use that label as justification for deplatforming someone and taking away their income. Here's Sargon's response to this debacle. I'm surprised how calm he is. --- Do good.

You can stop pretending to care about or understand the free market, because you've shown consistently that you do not. Especially when you said that you're a socialist. And btw they do end up making their own platforms. Sargon actually moved over to a different funding solution. That doesn't change the fact that a lot of the monopolies in technology have a vested interest in censoring anything that isn't far left nonsense.

If that was what was censored you'd completely flip flop while the rest of us would be consistent) --- Do good. Eat communists. ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's only going to get worse yet people called me a tinfoil hat when I brought it up. This shit always starts with the "easy" targets and spreads from there. These companies want absolute control and will get it because no one cares enough to stand up to this stuff... hence why they go for the easy targets.
