Most CTH readers are likely aware of the term “deplatforming.”
Unfortunately, the big tech control mechanism to shut down speech & assembly has now arrived on our doorstep.
One week after the 2020 presidential election, The Conservative Treehouse received the following notification:
…”given the incompatibility between your site’s content and our terms, you need to find a new hosting provider and must migrate the site by Wednesday, December 2nd.
What does this mean? It means CTH is being kicked-off the WordPress website hosting platform because the content of our research and discussion does not align with the ideology of those who define what is acceptable speech and what is not.

WNU Editor: I am surprised that they do not have a back-up plan in the event that this would happen. With tech companies like Google and Facebook shadow-banning websites to outright closing their accounts like Twitter, this trend to suppress conservative websites will only continue.

I don't known the web traffic of Conservative Treehouse. I've been there a time or two. I know Rick Moran, who is affectionately known as "Lil Ricky", "Rick Moron", "Ricky Moron" or simply as "Moron" came for Conservative Treehouse to PJ Media, because of more money or larger audience. It does not appear to me to be a huge site. I could be totally wrong.
De-Platforming is like steamrolling Task Force Smith. All that has been done is set off a tripwire.
It really hasn't permanently steamrolled The Conservative Treehouse either. "Watts Up With That" was deplatformed twice. It is still going. Nietze posited that what does not kill you makes you stronger. Let the Left shows us their cards; show us themselves without their glamour. All we will see is the truth that they are hideous.
Conservsative Treehouse will come back sdtringer. For one they will have some sympathy tyraffic and newer people will findout about it, Overall their web traffic might go up.
This deplatforming is not new. Liberal shits have been doing it forever. They have been doing it in Hollywood for 2 or 3 generations. Advertising staff at Madison avenue practised open warfare against Fox News in the 1990s and the aughts. Proof? Rush pointed out about why Fox News carried encrypt commercials when they had more views than the alphabet soup networks. Workers at Madison avenue placed ads according to their politics picked up in college with no regard to actual traffic. They suffered no problems at work for stiffing advertising clients.
Deplatformin the last 20 years has been attempted boycotts against Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and others.
There is nothing new under the Sun; liberals will be liberals.
And Conservative Inc, the bought off "conservative" politicians in the Republican party and elsewhere will do absolutely squat because mmm principals of free markets or something for multi-billion dollar companies trumps free speech of the individual.
A liberal could maker the argument of build your own platform like Twitter. It has been done.
Either Parler or Gab ran into obstacles thrown in the way by liberals. They had to build their own email system. Then they tried to deny them servers.
Liberals also try to deny conservatives banking services.
One day liberals are going to be wondering why they are running. They could be running from conservatives or other liberals, but they will be running. They have a choice to be more that they are programmed to be and they are not taking it. Liberals are no different from the Germanic tribes beating each other in the 4th century AD although they descended from the same ancestor tribe 4 00 years prior. No difference at all. Sure you have computers, drink lattes, and think yourselves sophisticated, but you are no different.
You might want to spell the word 'whining' correctly.
Moreover, there is nothing perceived about the persecution. Concrete examples were given.
