You may have noticed that Big Tech is doing it’s best to stifle the voices of people and organizations they do not agree with to include libertarians.

Over the past few months, we have seen what we believe to be an organized and concerted effort between tech companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Apple, Facebook, and Twitter to silence any dissenting opinions with the efficiency of a planned military operation. If it were coming from a hostile foreign enemy it would be referred to as a coordinated attack.

While advances in technology have made it easier for like-minded individuals to connect with each other, unfortunately, the consolidated control of these resources has also made it easy to silence those that have a differing worldview. We know people like Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg advocate for more regulation to increase their power and control, we libertarians, also know that rarely does more government regulation equal more freedom and liberty.

So what can we do about it?

Herein lies the real question, and the libertarian answer is if you don’t like what someone else is doing create your own. So this is what we are attempting to do with LibertyRI.net. Taking control of our own destiny, providing a resource for libertarians and like-minded people in Rhode Island to share ideas and information.

We fully understand the uphill battle this is going to be, it is hard for people to break habits and adopt a new platform. However we need to begin somewhere. It is time for freedom lovers to step up and unite. The torch of liberty will not be snuffed out. We hope you agree and share the same passion as we do.
