Transcript

00:00:01.000 Hey everybody, Laura Loomer here, the Republican frontrunner candidate for Congress in Florida's 21st congressional district, which is home to President Trump and Mrs. Trump.
00:00:09.000 As many of you know, I am the most banned woman in the world.
00:00:12.000 I am literally banned on every single social media site.
00:00:16.000 Payment processors like PayPal and Venmo and even GoFundMe have banned me.
00:00:20.000 I'm banned on Facebook and Twitter, Instagram, Uber Lyft, Uber Eats.
00:00:24.000 That's right.
00:00:25.000 I can't even order food.
00:00:26.000 The list goes on and on and on.
00:00:27.000 Even Chase Bank has temporarily shut down my online access to my bank account.
00:00:32.000 And as a candidate for Congress who has raised over a million dollars and, like I said, is the frontrunner, my campaign is still being denied access to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and PayPal.
00:00:41.000 We are the only deplatformed campaign in the nation.
00:00:45.000 Up until this point, my campaign has found ways to work around that.
00:00:48.000 But today, a drastic escalation happened, and I'm making this video to document it so that you see that the censorship has moved from the big tech social media companies to the telecommunication companies themselves.
00:01:00.000 We use text campaigns to reach out to people because, like I said, I can't use social media.
00:01:05.000 And today, when I went to go approve my text campaign for today to make sure that there were no typos and that everything was set to go out to my supporters for my fundraising email, this is the message that came through on my phone.
00:01:19.000 So, just so that you understand what you're looking at, the message says potential threat detected.
00:01:26.000 And this is the link that somebody would receive if they got my text message that said, Hey, it's Laura Loomer.
00:01:34.000 Matt Gates just endorsed my campaign.
00:01:36.000 Check out what he said here.
00:01:38.000 And then they would click on a landing page that was sent to them in a text message, and it would take them to the page.
00:01:44.000 But the first thing that they see upon getting that is potential threat detected.
00:01:48.000 So if you get something on your phone that says potential threat detected, you're likely not going to want to click on it because you're going to be concerned about what that threat is, right?
00:01:57.000 So you can see.
00:01:58.000 So now I just want to show you all how the telecommunications companies, and this is Xfiniti, this is Xfinity that we're on right now.
00:02:07.000 You click on it, and it's supposed to go.
00:02:10.000 You saw it's supposed to go to my campaign page and it says we've blocked access.
00:02:14.000 So Xfinity is now blocking access to my campaign donation pages and my campaign website and they're calling it dangerous.
00:02:22.000 So again, I'm going to do this again for you to see right here.
00:02:25.000 Okay.
00:02:26.000 You see, I just opened up my text.
00:02:28.000 This is real.
00:02:28.000 This is happening.
00:02:29.000 This is not a hoax.
00:02:30.000 This is not a conspiracy.
00:02:31.000 I'm clicking on the link.
00:02:36.000 Okay.
00:02:38.000 We have blocked access.
00:02:40.000 This site might compromise your device or contain dangerous content.
00:02:43.000 To avoid these risks, close the window and skip this site.
00:02:46.000 So I would love to know.
00:02:47.000 You know, Facebook not only banned me and labeled me a dangerous individual, but now it looks like Xfinity, which is not a social media company.
00:02:56.000 Xfinity Comcast is one of the largest internet providers in the country.
00:03:00.000 Okay.
00:03:00.000 And in Palm Beach County, it's one of the only choices that you have.
00:03:04.000 In Palm Beach County, where I'm running for Congress, one of the only choices you have as a cable and internet provider is Xfinity Comcast.
00:03:10.000 And now Xfinity Comcast is blocking my campaign links, my donation pages, and my website to my constituency.
00:03:18.000 So this is an insane escalation.
00:03:21.000 Now conservatives are not only being targeted by the big tech social media companies, but also by the telecommunication firms, which proves that we need serious antitrust legislation in this country right now.
