Standard practice for this forum too. You agreed to abide by it when you made your account.

If you don't like the rules of something you AGREED to obey, you have a couple of options:

You can try to petition for change...
You can accept that you'll continually be monitored, moderated, and/or kicked out of the community...
You can voluntarily leave the community.

Terms of service/terms of agreement are like deed restrictions.

The people in charge oversee the property - whether physical or in virtual cyberspace. They call the shots, and you agree to them doing so the moment you click the "I agree" button while creating your account.

It's THEIR business, not yours. They have every right to tell you to get lost if they don't like how you play in THEIR sandbox.

i can only provide you with my own crackpot theory: virus was created in a lab doing bio-weapons research. since biowarfare is technically looked down upon, no one wants to confirm such activity. this is why so many countries, including ours, were involved in funding this lab.

And again, you have the right to opt out at any time.

Asking a vaccinated person about the side effects from the covid jab is like asking a drunk if they did anything stupid the night before......

Since when is the government allowed to own patents???

Vaccine patent gives US ‘leverage’ over manufacturers




Several companies have licensed the ’070 patent for their vaccines and pay the US government royalties, including Germany’s BioNTech, which developed its Covid-19 jab with Pfizer. According to several observers, Moderna has not licensed the patent and the US government has not enforced its rights."

No, not at all like Germany of the "past". That was Fascism. This is CAPITALISM. Companies are not told what to do by the government now/here - in this case. Companies get to decide how they run themselves. You get to decide who you want to give your money to. Amazing system, too bad so many people, hate capitalism.

It's not me calling it that, that is the actual definition. Word does have actual meanings.

The government stepping in to tell a company runs itself is either socialism or fascism depending on how the government does it.

It's not Capitalism...it's Restraint of Trade! And that is illegal! Sadly, not many of us are still extant who remember The Iron Curtain, and Radio Free Europe's brave attempts to get news and information to those millions of people behind it. Those people were starved of real facts and information by ruthless government control and censorship of all media. The only information that was allowed to reach its citizens was communist propaganda. As children, we donated our allowance moneys to Radio Free Europe, in order that our counterparts in communist countries could hear what was happening in the outside world!

That's what this country is headed for if the avenues of free speech are cut off by the MSM, in tandem and possibly in collusion with, biased internet monopolies. If the Federal Government is in any way complicit in this censorship, then it is also a clear violation of our First Amendment! As an aside...what are they all afraid of?
