Sick of Communist-Like Censorship? – Here’s A List of Popular Uncensored Media
Options
By Patty McMurray – Published January 11, 2021 at 3:11pm

   “With the current media purge of conservative, libertarian, independent, and non-establishment voices
   in high gear, we thought it would be beneficial to list some of the alternatives to each globalist media
   platform. This does not constitute official endorsements and this list is by no means exhaustive. So please
   do check back to this article for additional sources from time to time.
   “The great news is, there are many amazing options to stay connected to each other and to the news.
   They aren’t all as evolved as the multi-billion dollar corporations you are used to, but most are competent
   technically and already have many users. Also, you may find that some of the platforms provide better
   functionality than the legacy media you are leaving.
   “We believe this list is a good start to get the message out as rational free-thinking Americans on all sides
   of the aisle sever their ties to authoritarian anti-speech platforms.”

And this just in from Wikipedia, 01/13/2021…

   Wikipedia is now publishing slanderous
   descriptions of Parler and basically every
   other new or alternative social networking
   platform, especially those that are popular
   with individuals, groups, and organizations
   that question the veracity of the 2020
   Presidential election. Virtually verbatim
   slander as shown here is being used to
   describe MeWe, Signal, and BitChute.
   Not that Wikipedia was every truly a reliable
   source of information, now we know for
   certain that we must question everything
   they publish.

                                                                                                          Page 1 of 6

                                 • Following the mass exodus from FB, Twitter, and other similarly slanted social
                                      media platforms that took place after the events in Washington DC on
                                      January 6th, Parler was removed from the App Store, Google Play, and
                                      ultimately from the Amazon webservers on with Parler ran. As of 1/14/2021,
                                      it appears that in spite of efforts by Parler CEO John Matze, Parler is done.

                                      “CEO John Matze made the announcement Wednesday and cited the Capitol Hill
