A Crack in Big Tech Censorship? Owen Benjamin wins his case against Patreon!!
[link to www.unz.com (secure)]

Judge Orders Patreon to Pay Owen Benjamin Fans Millions of Dollars In Massive Blow to Tech Censorship

“ Owen Benjamin and his fans have prevailed in their legal battle with Patreon.

According to reporting by Mike Cernovich, the Judge in the case has finalized a ruling ordering Patreon to pay at least $10,000 in arbitration fees to Benjamin and 100 of his fans.

Patreon banned alt comedian Benjamin for his political views last year. When Benjamin and his fans opened up arbitration over tortious interference in accordance to Patreon’s Terms of Service, the tech giant changed its rules in the middle of the dispute and counter-sued to intimidate the complainants...”

This is pretty big folks. I know there is another thread about it, but don’t think it got the proper attention. These folks provide the recipe for fighting the fucktard censorship crowd when our politicians (including Repubs) are too weak knee’d to do anything about it but talk.

So, if you have been censored, or even affected by same - Hit em before it’s too late!

nothing to do with being censored or banned from a PRIVATE COMPANY

but changing your T&C's during a case is rank stupid and deserve to be fined for that

I’m sure that many of the larger censorship platforms have changed their “terms of service” at some point to give them clearance, but I’m betting that’s not the case when many that are being censored today agreed to them before posting their first vids or content. Trick will be to find a copy of the original terms under which you created a channel or posted an editorial. To start.

Assuming you did not have to agree to some changes later in the game before they started censoring your shit, it’s possible that you might even have a case against the big boys. If you don’t currently have the resources to pursue, gather your fans like Benjamin did.

Has to do with Contract Law. Even a PRIVATE company can’t breech their own contracts. Granted, I’m not a YouTuber or a major contributor to many sites, so am not sure if TOS changes are regularly sent out to users to acknowledge before posting further content. If so, maybe wouldn’t be worth the effort, but I think it worth the effort to look in to.

Over this last week President Donald Trump did the following, but you probably won't hear about it in the News – even though he’s changing the world:

1. Made vaccines voluntary, not mandatory. Military will check purity and distribute vaccines

2. Defunded WHO forever and wants an investigation into its operations

3. Cancelled the Democrats HR6666 bill, known as the Covid19TRACE Act that was the basis for Bill Gates's diagnosis and tracking project, which was also cancelled.

4. Cancelled Bill Gates project known as ID2020

5. Opened a complaint platform to report censorship on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. It was overrun with complaints. They got the evidence.

6. Executive Order to reopen states: Governors who refuse to reopen will be sued.

7. EXECUTIVE Order for W.H. to take over all Electrical Grids: Which will include Internet servers, Broadcasting systems, Electronic systems.

8. Declared places of worship 'Essential Sevices.' Some mayors are fining people for going to church.

9. Applauded Australia and 116 countries for insisting on a China Probe into the spread of Covid19 despite several threats from China about refusing critical exports.

10. Arrested and dismantled Sex/Human Trafficking rings in several countries!

NUMBER 7 SHOULD DO IT

AMEN
