Apparently a website called Pop Times UK has posted a lengthy list of complaints filed to the FCC recently from disgruntled conservative users...and it picked up that whiny complaint from "Alex" about Gamefaqs being RACIST to CONSERVATIVES and left wing Moderators censoring their free speech!

The little article was titled "We Read the FCC Comments on Trumps Section 230 Order So You Dont Have to"

Specifically, the Reddit and GameFAQ mods

Alex from New York:

Gamefaqs moderators are some of the worst out there, and their site illustrates the decline from their creation in the 90s to today. What is a primarily gaming-related site doing in the political censorship business? Well, their mod staff aged out of gaming and into the adult demographic (although for them, I use that term loosely) and they now view it as their lifes mission to censor messages they dont like on a dying video game websight. At some point, gamefaqs.gamespot.com was acquired by CBS although their original poor mod staff remains: people who spend hours removing messages but are completely unpaid and have mod tools primarily due to clique connections. If you are banned, you are banned across all CBS sites, meaning that your fate and your ability to access basic services across several corporate-run platforms can be severely damaged or outright denied at the hands of 1 unpaid, often uninformed moderator. They enforce their political opinions through the moderation system and they go after some users simply because they dont like them. At a certain point it became impossible just to post a news story on their politics board without any personal commentary at all it would get removed if any 1 person out of their 80-something moderators disliked the story. The last straw for me was when I was banned from the site after 12 years, without an explanation, simply for saying I am an anti-racist. I dont know of any other site outside of Stormfront that would have a problem with that message. If they are going to ban me for something like that, they are going to ban for anything. Some users have actually taken to calling the site RacistFAQs because while there are several flagrantly racist messages floating around, the mods there instead spend the bulk of their time targeting users they personally dislike over nothing, coming up with invented/imaginary rules that are not in their stated terms of use. Agenda comes before basic competence. The site itself has also had several racist moderators on staff, with their administrator doing little to nothing about it but when it comes to abusing users for political opinions they disagree with, the mods over there have that routine down. I bring all this up because this nonsense is happening to the little guy, its happening to the big guy, its happening across the internet with many of these corporations coordinating their censorship. The idea that a social media company thinks it can now censor anything it wants from our elected officials right up to the president himself, is chilling. It is small, petty gangsterism like this across the internet that is censoring free speech. The internet was far better off under a more wild-west, open model than it is under the China/North Korea blackout model. A select few corporations enforcing a censorship regime on behalf of one political party is the literal definition of fascism. Intervention against this cabal is long overdue.
