We're back - thanks for all of the support over the past week, it was great to see the Australian right come together, which we need to do more often.
There is still a lot we don't know, eg. if there really was a legal demand and if so what it was, but while X rejected multiple appeals, it allowed this name change, pending review.
We were also demonetised on Facebook on the weekend and given reach restrictions there and on Instagram, with no way for us to see which posts allegedly broke Meta's rules, and no way to request a review or to appeal, which is unusual.
Regardless, please follow us on all our other platforms - Facebook, Instagram, Telegram and Gab - if you don't already, in case this gets even worse and we get banned again.
Clearly there is some kind of concerted effort to get us removed from social media, but we're not going to stop covering the news the way it should be covered.
This just makes us more determined, and hopefully exposes double standards on press freedom - if you are a woke media corporation you can publish pretty much anything you want (you can even dox people) and the government will give you millions and force the social media giants to pay you millions more. But if you are a small, independent, right-wing outlet that only publishes factual stories none of that applies.
Ultimately, the tech companies are always going to do the bidding of governments and powerful lobby groups, which means that if any of us want to survive on social media without massive self-censorship, we a) need free speech rights, and b) need to be in government and have our own more powerful lobby groups.
