February 7: Medium posts this.
Beyond Medium itself, we recognize that we are also part of the larger internet ecosystem. Just as we rely on outside technology, systems, and information to run Medium, we also consider off-platform signals when assessing potential rules violations.
We have all seen an increase and evolution of online hate, abuse, harassment, and disinformation, along with ever-evolving campaigns of fraud and spam. To continue to be good citizens of the internet, and provide our users with a trusted and safe environment to read, write, and share new ideas, we have strengthened our policies around this type of behavior.
One of the most critical signals we rely on in maintaining a high standard of quality is you, our community of readers, authors, and thinkers. We appreciate your many contributions to making Medium a better platform.
If you find content you believe violates our rules, please flag it for our Trust and Safety team to review, or email us with more information.
Feb 18th the start purging
The online publishing platform Medium has suspended the accounts of prominent far-right figures Mike Cernovich, Jack Posobiec and Laura Loomer.
Medium spokesperson Sandee Roston told The Hill that the company does “not comment on individual accounts.”
Feb 22nd and the meme wars are against them.
Cernovich has his own platform, and is writing there again. Milo has set up dangerous, on a subscription model. However, they were late to leave. Conde Nast and the Wired group left a year ago, for they saw the new business model and ran.
Okay, but why are we leaving Medium? The short answer is that we love the platform and the thoughtful community that has coalesced around our publication because of Medium. But in the time since Backchannel launched, Medium has shifted its business strategy, and it’s no longer as focused on helping publications like ours profit. To bring you the tech reporting that matters most, we must fund it. Under new editor Nick Thompson, WIRED is committed to figuring out how to make a robust business off of thoughtful, meaty journalism.
But know this: if there is a code of conduct it will be weaponised by left activists. They consider that social progress runs only one way: as the mass media spokesdriods said last week, we could be progressive in kiwiland if we legalised euthanasia. A useful trick is to substitute degenerate whenever such say progressive.
And this means one must own and control platforms.
Notice that careful avoidance of the label “Alt-Right” did nothing to save any of them from targeting by SJWs. This is why we absolutely MUST build our own platforms. Without them, the Left will be successful in its determination to deny a platform to everyone who refuses to publicly submit to its dogma of Tolerance, Equality, Progressivism, Inclusivity, and Diversity.
Host your own blog. Use email. Write in a journal. Pay for it. Own it. Give it away as you choose. But do not let the converged gain copyright. Social media will follow the newspapers into oblivion. Their only use is setting up real life events and propaganda.
