Narrative Warfare: What You Can Do About Twitter's Censorship

Neon Revolt published a new article. It contained an actionable item, to flood the Department of Justice regarding Twitter censorship. You can find the link to that DOJ page here. Please follow up on that. To quote NR himself:

All my readers should take a moment to message the DOJ and remind them of their imperative to protect free speech online, and remove section 230 protections from Twitter now that it is clearly engaging in mass censorship on a scale never before seen online, and to such an extent that it’s now become a danger to our national discourse to ignore it

Now some of you will click through and balk at NR's talk about #QAnon. I will restate my position: I don't care if it's a LARP or not, and I don't care because it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter because it is a psychological operation. Psyops are weaponized Rhetoric, Rhetoric is not Dialectic. Don't mistake corkscrews for drills, no matter how similar they may seem, because they don't do the same thing. Why? For the same reason that the complaint about #QAnon is erroneous: it's irrelevant to the point at hand.

The point at hand is performing useful, concrete action about Twitter's violation of Section 230 of the DCMA. Flood the DOJ with complaints, especially if they all look and read more or less alike, and the Feds will get the hint and move on it; the fiercer the flood, the faster the action. It's not like Trump isn't looking for excuses to hammer Twitter as it is, so do the God-Emperor a solid and give him one.

Jack--along with Big Tech elsewhere--wants to shape the online narrative against Trump. By banning #QAnon, despite the Streisand Effect, he is doing this. Most anons aren't going to be so quick to just ban-evade and resume on a new alt; these are Boomers and other not-so-savvy folks when it comes to social media and computer technology- we're talking the endest of end users, so Jack's calculations on the net effect of a ban are not without reason. The surest way to punish him is to get Fed heat back on his ass as fast as can be done, and that's by mass complaints to the DOJ followed by the FCC. I've done my part. It's your turn.
