St. Louis, MO: We have been censored! Big Tech is on the march against free speech and Phyllis Schlafly Eagles is on their list of targets. Last week, Twitter saw fit to permanently suspend our years-long @PhyllisSchlafly account! They gave no real evidence and have seen fit not to reply to our appeals. [Follow @SchlaflyEagles to keep up with us — please follow and share to help us get back our Twitter reach!]
“Today we were targeted by Mailchimp, one of the most widely used and relied upon email programs in the world,” said Ed Martin, president of Phyllis Schlafly Eagles. “In October, Mailchimp changed their ‘terms of use’ agreement with customers to open wide the prohibition of what they conclude is ‘misinformation’! Just like Facebook and Twitter, they decide what information and sources should or should not be seen by the public.
“As such, we were notified today that we are now in violation of their prohibition of ‘hate speech, threats and incitement of violence, and potentially harmful misinformation.’
“This is just laughable. It’s especially ironic after our assistance with planning and executing the “Stop the Steal” March on D.C. this weekend where literally hundreds of thousands of patriots gathered to demand transparency and election integrity. This historically huge event went off without a single hitch until Antifa and BLM arrived later in the day and began to violently assault women, children, the elderly, and anyone with attire supporting President Trump.”
We must tear down Big Tech’s “fact-checking” facade! This is censorship of free speech at its worst. Their goal is simply to cover up for their own side’s violent, lawless conduct and the fact-less Fake News that fuels it. DO NOT LET THEM WIN. We will not let Mailchimp OR Twitter stop us from telling the truth and arming Americans with facts!
Please help us get out the word as we fight back against this gross assault on the fundamental First Amendment right to Free Speech!
