In 2015, Reddit, like YouTube, had almost no content policy beyond banning illegal activity, doxxing, harassment, and involuntary or underage pornography. By 2020, Reddit had purged political dissent from the site.
In 2015, Twitter was "the free speech wing of the free speech party" according to CEO Jack Dorsey, even avoiding collaboration with the NSA (unlike Google, Facebook). By 2019 it was one of the most censored, monitored, and controlled social media networks in the world.
The most important platform to be closed off 2017-2019 was YouTube. Before 2017, YouTube was a very open platform, with easy monetization and almost no moderation of legal content. By the end of 2019, thoughtcrime (anything to the right of Ben Shapiro) was thoroughly purged.
Seeing this happen in real time was immensely blackpilling and the fact that it isn't even widely-known and discussed that this happened (almost entirely in the last 11 years) is a travesty. "Closure of the Internet" is 1000 times worse than McCarthyism ever was.

Naturally. I suppose I'm next in line to beat the dead horse today, but McCarthyism, along with the play about the Salem Witch Trials that it spawned, was a specious story dramatized to take the heat off communists by elite Jews, since many of them were communist. McCarthy was a bit of a loose cannon, but he didn't invent the House Un-American Activities committee. HUAC had been investigating communists for decades, as they were a massive problem.
The next generation of these people then proceeded to take over the internet.
he didn't invent the House Un-American Activities committee.
Indeed. It's even right there in the name. McCarthy was a Senator. The fact that he is always blamed for it shows how heavy the propaganda has been about him.
Also, the declassified Venona Project showed that McCarthy was right.
Someone is going to do the research one day and find out that witch trials were completely justified. Ed Dutton kind of already did it but I didn't find his podcast on it comprehensive enough.
There's actually books about it already that prove that communists were infesting Hollywood and HUAC was pestering them. I think David Horowitz may have wrote one of them, as he was basically a Jewish communist who defected
"Closure of the Internet" is 1000 times worse than McCarthyism ever was.
I remember Alex Jones once comparing our digital totalitarianism to McCarthyism, saying that under McCarthyism you still had the ability to face your accusers.
Those of you who were there at the time, do you still think GamerGate happened in a vacuum? Has it ever occurred to you that the ban happy ass holes that locked all discussion about GamerGate down are the same ban happy assholes that started locking down the formerly free internet?
Yeah, as necessary as it is to highlight the changes in this period, this is an incomplete analysis without Gamergate. Reddit's comment graveyard due to GG censorship was 2014. Moot torpedoed 4chan's free speech and pretty much sold the entire site in 2015 because GG broke his brain. Wikipedia finally went full mask off propagandism over GG, with Jimmy Wales stepping in personally on an article for the first time as far as I'm aware. Countless supposedly independent 'press' outlets colluded to narrative-craft and crush any alternatives, while heavily censoring their forums and comment sections.
Hand in hand with this, though not so explicitly GG related, was the disappearance of comment sections from news sites and practically everywhere on the net, barring a few exceptions like the Daily Mail and right wing sites that sprang up to fill the coverage gap. The internet never used to have to rely on monolithic 'platforms' like YT or Twitter at all. Even The Guardian used to allow comments on most articles and had an opinion column section spawning hundreds of pages of debate, but this concept became useless to the regime and had to disappear from the internet since the neocommie establishment was getting clowned on its own websites. (EDIT: forgot to mention this was what made Gab's Dissenter plugin popular for a while).
Hilarious that this all happened due to the modern day Helen of Troy being a lying whore who was only fought over because industry nerds have low standards
2015 was definitely the year when everything began to shift, everything was made kosher, pro gay, feminist etc
i still remember how i could write NIGGER on jewtube a decade ago and nothing would happen, nowadays i write NIGGER and the comment is automatically hidden
Just typing "there are only two genders" in YT gets your comment auto-nuked and you have your comment score lowered so your comments are less likely to appear if they're more than a few words long.
All worth reading:

You mean to say SENATOR McCarthy wasn’t the guy who ran the HOUSE Un-American Activities Committee???????
Color me SHOCKED

yeah the algorithm is absolutely fucked, you have to be real clever if you're going to say anti-troon stuff
Excellent read, important reminder.
