World Day Against Cyber Censorship is an online event held each year on March 12 to rally support for a single, unrestricted Internet that is accessible to all and to draw attention to the ways that governments around the world are deterring and censoring free speech online.
Being in the US and protected by the First Amendment, I'm a lot less concerned with 'governments ... deterring and censoring free speech online' than I am with the ubiquitous censorship of conservative and Christian speech, and of anything that violates the rules of the of canon of left-wing 'political correctness', all done by FAAMG— Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft and Alphabet (i.e. Google) which are private corporations, not government entities.
I have personally been censored and banned from Facebook on several occasions for violating their hard left 'community standards', and hardly a day goes by that one does't see a high profile poster on Twitter or Facebook banned or suspended or a YouTube channel 'demonetised' for stepping beyond the bounds of the marxist plantation.
Just my personal rant!

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
