This incident serves as a catalyst for the hosts to promote the independent podcast ecosystem and the use of modern apps via PodcastIndex.org to avoid centralized de-platforming.

Representative Jasmine Crockett is facing scrutiny following reports of high staff turnover and allegations of abusive behavior toward her aides. Meanwhile, the podcast hosts discussed technical issues with AT&T and Apple's Safari browser, which they suspect are being used to "de-platform" their live stream. A constitutional lawyer suggested that such selective blocking could constitute "restraint of trade" and might lead to an antitrust lawsuit against the telecommunications giants.

The limitations of Patreon are discussed, specifically the risk of de-platforming for statements made on other shows. The hosts argue that experienced broadcasters should build their own subscription and donation systems rather than relying on third-party platforms with restrictive rules. They emphasize that "premium" content models are often a "scam" compared to open broadcasting.

YouTube announced it will no longer remove content alleging fraud in past U.S. presidential elections, a move interpreted by some as preparation for a potential Biden loss. Concurrently, the platform Telegram is discussed as a "freeze peach" alternative for figures like Tucker Carlson due to its lack of de-platforming and large group chat capabilities.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1530-red-queen/chapter/value-for-value-model-and-google-s-advertising-struggles.md

The "Value for Value" funding model is contrasted with the traditional advertising industry, which is currently facing a downturn. Google's reported $13 billion quarterly spend to maintain search dominance and its reaction to ChatGPT are cited as signs of desperation. The hosts argue that their independent model protects the show from the risks of de-platforming and corporate influence.

### Censorship of Censorship, Social Media De-platforming

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1523-tank-talk/chapter/censorship-of-censorship-social-media-de-platforming.md

Observers note that the act of censorship itself has been censored, leaving many people unaware that dissenting medical voices were removed from platforms like Twitter. This "censorship of censorship" creates a reality where the general public believes no credible experts disagree with the official narrative. The lack of awareness regarding de-platforming efforts prevents a full understanding of the information landscape.

As No Agenda approaches its 15th anniversary, the hosts celebrate the "value-for-value" model that allows them to deconstruct media without fear of being de-platformed. A musical montage encourages "millennials" and other listeners to "don't hate, donate" and become producers of the show. The segment emphasizes that only 4% of listeners currently contribute, urging the rest to support the program's independence.

### Decertification of Russian Superyachts and Financial De-platforming

- **Episode:** [1434: Second Lady](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1434-second-lady.md)
- **Published:** 2022-03-17

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1434-second-lady/chapter/decertification-of-russian-superyachts-and-financial-de-platforming.md

Major maritime classification societies, including Lloyd's Register and DNV, have withdrawn services from Russian-linked vessels, effectively decertifying them. This move invalidates the ships' insurance and prevents them from operating in international waters, targeting the assets of Russian oligarchs. This trend of "financial de-platforming" is seen as a precursor to similar tactics being used against domestic political dissidents in the West.

The amateur radio community website QRZ.com faced backlash after temporarily removing all Russian call signs from its database. This move is criticized as a violation of the apolitical spirit of ham radio, which is intended to facilitate global communication regardless of government conflicts. The action is dismissed as a "virtue signal" that undermines the hobby's core purpose.

Merriam-Webster added 455 new words to its dictionary in 2021, heavily featuring pandemic-related terminology such as "long COVID," "vaccine passport," and "breakthrough." The update also codified internet culture terms including "de-platform," "digital nomad," and "copypasta," alongside the political term "vote-a-rama." A discussion of the term "small ball" highlighted its origins in 1970s baseball strategy under manager Billy Martin before its modern adoption in basketball and general goal-setting contexts.

Twitter filed a lawsuit against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, alleging that his investigation into the company's moderation practices is a form of retaliation and harassment. Paxton argues that social media companies act as monopolies and should be regulated as utilities following the suspension of Donald Trump's account. The legal strategy is viewed as an attempt to gain access to internal company memos through the discovery process.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1314-gnarler/chapter/alex-stamos-conservative-influencer-de-platforming-strategy.md

Alex Stamos of the Stanford Internet Observatory suggests that tech companies and internet service providers should limit the reach of conservative influencers and networks like OANN and Newsmax. He argues that while these entities have freedom of speech, infrastructure providers like Verizon and AT&T are not obligated to push their content into millions of homes. The discussion compares this potential marginalization to the treatment of the John Birch Society in the 1960s.

The discussion focuses on Jason Calacanis's appearance on CNBC, where he defended the de-platforming of Parler. Calacanis claimed that the move was driven by public safety concerns and employee pressure rather than a coordinated attack on Donald Trump. He described Parler as a "constitutional nightmare" and suggested that the removal of the app provides a "blue wave" exit ramp for big tech companies. The hosts critique Calacanis's history in the tech industry and his stance on private company rights.

The crackdown on talk radio hosts by Cumulus Media is analyzed as a preemptive business move to avoid advertiser boycotts. By restricting topics related to election fraud, the syndicator seeks to protect its revenue from activist groups that target sponsors like Ford to force the de-platforming of controversial figures.

The No Agenda Show was removed from Spotify following a series of emails regarding podcaster portals and dashboard registrations.
