I have recently been given an opportunity to meet people with powerful positions in the US federal government, large political donors, and congressional staff. The group will be composed primarily of Republicans.

My plan is to focus on Internet freedom and the idea of the Splinternet, but I want to ensure that I put the best foot forward for the community. I would appreciate the strongest arguments that have been put forward by any member of this forum along with a way that I could present the kiwifarms so that it would validate the interest of people with my audience's views (spectrum across Republicans, Christian nationalists, deep state, and WEF types).

If anyone can provide specific thread links please do so. If you would like to talk or provide contact information do so through a message and do not provide personal details.


Thus far, the favored lines of argument are:
- Democrats are abusing service providers to scrub their dirty laundry off the internet
- People need avenues where the real horrors of SRS and other modern depravity can be shown and discussed
- The advance of censorship is meant to cover up actions of the opposition party
- If a tranny from google can do it, then foreign adversaries are probably are doing it too
- It is not acceptable to allow financial institutions to exclude websites for speech violations.
- The freedom of speech means nothing if platforms that host and disseminate content prevent it with broadly interpretable TOS
- The current regime and its allies in corporate American are becoming increasingly Bolshevik in their practices.

If anyone goes above and beyond (gather useful specific portions of threads, relevant posts, or links to content creators making a strong case in the Internet's favor) I am willing to make them a still or animated profile picture, examples below:

Idaho Battle Barn (high res)

Cthulu Pepe (high res)

Fickle

If your work qualifies post here but be sure to PM me what you want as a bounty.

Forget all about arguing for free speech and internet freedom. Tell them that the Chinese government would hate a free internet and net-neutrality, and they will support it because China-bad. Tell them that Democrats use online-censorship to brainwash a generation to be woke activists. And they will care, because Democrats bad.

The thing is, both left and right hate freedom, and they both favour government control. But they hate the idea of the other side, their adversaries, in possession of that government control even more.

Also, go easy on the Hitler salutes.

It's an apolitical humor and gossip forum mainly focused on discussing eccentric individuals broadcasting their lives online. The main point is, such forum should not be very controversial.
 
Tell them the censorship has reached the 1984 Memory Hole phase. Censorship isn't just shutting down hate speech or political ideas, it is eliminating the historical record of facts and events. These are needed for discovering truth, at the macro level. More directly, it's needed for investigating the people your audience would find despicable.

Tell them their interns and opposition researchers would not know half the bad things their opponents do, if it weren't for places like the Kiwi Farms. You can't dig up dirt if they are allowed to wipe out dirt at the infrastructure level.
 
If anyone wants to provide their contact details or specific thread links please do.
I was talking on the porch with my 4-year-old granddaughter the other day and she said to me, "Grandfather, why must we keep our most closely held beliefs secret? Why must we wear this cumbersome cloak of anonymity whenever we venture online? My heart yearns to be free. We must be free!"

I told her to shut the hell up. OPSEC always.
 
I understand your response, but I have an opportunity and might as well do something with it.
is your name spectre_06? are you going to tell 4 star generals that barb was raped by cwc?

if you show up and say something about the kiwi farms you're immediately throwing yourself on your sword. they are right wing politicians. if you use kf as an example they will not care. to them it's not a gossip site. it's a place for the other side to congregate and plan to ruin your career.

just focus on freedom of speech. message null and see if there's anything he would suggest, but don't be surprised if they don't care. whatever keeps the status quo and their income flowing is what they want to do.

Of course I don't expect people do dox themselves but to send a burner or otherwise anon email. Thanks for pointing that out I edited the post accordingly.

I agree with your comments about mentioning Kiwifarms, but some of the staffers seem like they would be open to using KF as a point of discussion.

I think this and the free speech angle are the best approaches so far. Thank you for your input!
