freedom of speech but not freedom of reach

"...X/twitter CEO linda yaccarino speaks of “censorship is not the answer” and “not on our watch” but in light of her publicly espoused position of “freedom of speech but not freedom of reach” which is used to such intense effect on X these days and so severely limits platforms, pundits, and positions that there are whole lines of discussion that basically cannot be had and numerous folks i follow who NEVER show up in my feed unless i go looking for them, linda does not seem to believe her own words.

" and her actions send a chill through twitter speech as people fear the hidden lines that lead you to reside upon the suppressed list, a place far more subtle and insidious than exile. the exile becomes a martyr, the suppressed just sounds like a whiner when people say “aww, poor baby. did you ever think that it’s just that no one cares about what you have to say?”

" and it’s a powerful effect. i have more followers on twitter than here and the nature of the system leads to 100’s of re-tweets on popular posts. but they still get fewer views than a typical substack.

" it’s obvious the fix is in for certain participants.

" (and don’t i sound whiney complaining about it? that’s the game now.)

Berta Dad nailed it. Copied from FB.
Jeff Rath’s behaviour toward Danielle Smith is not a good look for this movement, and he does not speak for me.
When this started, I had respect for him. But as this has played out, it has become harder to ignore what appears to be a push for power inside the movement, not a sincere focus on Alberta independence.
Danielle Smith is a major reason Albertans were even able to collect signatures in the first place. Compared to any other premier in this country, I believe she has been the strongest one standing up for her province.
I will not forget her accomplishments.
She stood up for parental rights when others wanted schools keeping parents in the dark.
She took action against political ideology being pushed in classrooms.
She made sure kids got back to school when the system tried to hold families hostage.
She has strengthened Alberta Sheriffs and continued exploring ways to free Alberta from relying on the RCMP.
And that is only part of it.

WEF/UN/Globalists have proven they can’t be trusted now given the key to Canada. Are you awake yet Canadians??

REPORT: UN Climate Scientists Flip on the Climate Doomsday Narrative | Stand on Guard CLIP

WATCH Have they been lying about climate change this whole time? Are they cancelling climate change doomsday scenario for the data centers?

The UN climate scientists admit the high emission doomsday scenarios were overblown. UN climate change scientists flip: climate change not too bad anymore according to a new report. No doomsday on the horizon.

On this Stand on Guard clip, we question why the UN might be backtracking on previous dire predictions, suggesting a new agenda at play. We examine how this shift could be tied to the proliferation of data center construction and the increasing demands on our power grid from artificial intelligence. It's crucial to consider the broader implications for our communities and hold big tech accountable.

Thank you to @jimmy_dore for pointing out this...
