Remember MeSpeak? Its the social network I dreamed up a while back and started working on. I had to pretty much halt development to work on the project Im currently being paid to do, but Id really like to finish MeSpeak. So, Ive decided Im going to try to hit the crowd funding sites and see it I cant drum up cash to git er done. Below is the rough draft of the profile Im considering using on whichever website I end up going with. Yes, its a bit unconventional, but thats how I roll --- As LinkedIn demonstrated through its success, there is room for additional dimensions to the social networking scene. News enthusiasts, political pundits, activists, and loud mouths of all stripes are more than ready for a social media environment designed around their needs—all the ease of use of traditional social networks, all the control of full-fledged blogging platforms, and all the freedom of the First Amendment (plus some sweet tools for managing other social media accounts, organizing campaigns, and presenting data via charts, maps, spreadsheets, and the like). Ive personally been the victim of suspensions and deletions by major social media sites for years. My crime? Expressing politically incorrect truths, mostly about Islam. Unfortunately, my experience is not an aberration. There are literally millions (on both sides of the political aisle) who have had their voices suppressed in the name of the new age religions political correctness, multiculturalism, and diversity . As an American, a no-longer-in-uniform U.S. Marine, and fierce defender of free speech, I am profoundly horrified by the role social media is playing in draining the lifeblood (access to information and the free exchange of ideas) out of free societies around the globe. Dont get me wrong, Facebook, Google, et al. are certainly within their rights to censor anything they want. They own the websites, they make the rules. However, freedom will not last forever if someone doesnt establish a competing presence around the idea that arguing is good for humanity (the best ideas rise to the top) and censorship is an abomination. In addition to being a U.S. Marine, a Counter Jihadist, and freedom activist, I am also a software developer and white hat hacker with over a decade of experience slinging code and keeping the bad-guy hackers out. As a consequence, I have to believe Im one of the most qualified individuals alive to invent the activist dimension to social media. ---
