    Eventbrite Blacklists Pamela Geller

By: Alana Mastrangelo, 7 August 2019:

Ticketing service Eventbrite has blacklisted an event featuring conservative commentator Pamela Geller over supposed violations of the platform’s “community guidelines.” The ticketing service then warned the group planning to host Geller that any further attempts to create an event listing featuring the conservative commentator and free speech activist could result in the group’s account being banned from the platform.

“Eventbrite has shut down the New York Young Republican Club event featuring my talk,” said Pamela Geller in an Instagram post on Tuesday. “Terror-tied CAIR has been demanding the event be canceled. It looks as if @Eventbrite has caved to CAIR.”

While the event is still scheduled to proceed as planned, it won’t be utilizing the ticket service. Eventbrite warned the New York Young Republicans Club (NYYRC) that any additional attempts to create an event listing for Geller could result in the group’s account being banned from the platform.

“We encourage our organizers to express their views and gather for a chosen purpose as long as it’s done in a way that doesn’t violate our Legal Terms,” said Eventbrite to the NYYRC in a purported email. “In this instance, we determined that Pamela Geller engages in or promotes conduct that violates our Community Guidelines.”

The email went on to explain that the group is no longer permitted to publish Eventbrite listings promoting Geller as a featured speaker. “As a result, your event listing has been removed,” affirmed the ticketing service.

“If we become aware of any future event featuring Pamela Geller we will remove it,” added Eventbrite, “and listing such an event could result in your account being closed.”

Eventbrite is not the only online platform to have blacklisted Geller. Last year, Facebook blocked the conservative commentator for reporting on Muslim antisemitism in Germany.

Facebook later claimed that Geller’s social media content had been “mistakenly identified” as a violation of a Facebook policy, and as a result, a block had been “incorrectly put on [Geller’s] account,” but was later removed.

Those who are planning to attend the NYYRC’s event featuring Geller had also received an email from Eventbrite, informing them that the event was removed due to not complying with the platform’s Community Guidelines.

“Terror-linked individuals and groups, apologists for terror, and open antisemites are just fine with Eventbrite,” said Geller to Breitbart News, “but if you oppose those things, and stand up for the freedom of speech and individual rights, Eventbrite will pull the rug out from under you.”

“This shows yet again that platforms that should be neutral and open to all are anything but, and any dissenter from the far-Left agenda will find it increasingly difficult to take any public stance,” added the conservative commentator.

“Cowardice and capitulation are pandemic today, and Eventbrite’s quick surrender to an unsavory Hamas-tied group is a sad case in point,” affirmed Geller.

Breitbart News reached out to the ticketing service to inquire as to how Geller’s content is in violation of the platform’s Community Guidelines. An Eventbrite spokesperson responded with the following statement:

Our mission is to bring the world together through live experiences. We strive to provide a platform that enables people to gather for their chosen purpose, and that reflects diverse viewpoints, so long as they don’t violate our Terms. We recognize the power of assembly and consider our role here very thoughtfully. We work hard to strike a balance between free expression of ideas and ensuring the real-life connections we’re facilitating are safe and respectful of the broader community.

We do not permit events, content, or creators that promote or encourage hate, violence, or harassment towards others and/or oneself. Specifically, we prohibit content or organizations that promote hate towards or the harassment of individuals or groups based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, nationality, veteran status, sexual orientation, or gender identity. Our policy is to remove content that is in violation of our guidelines and after the team reviewed this event, we enforced it.

Breitbart News will continue to report on this story.

If this proclivity to force self censorship onto conservative speakers is not slowing but accelerating under a popular Republican POTUS what lies ahead for freedom of speech under a president of any other stripe ?

When public discourse is banned or blocked and those beyond check or balance continue to throw their weight around, what’s left for the brassed off concerned citizen to use to give voice to his discontent ?

Are those foolish people doing this to us prepared for the consequences because people who withdraw their consent to be governed in this way cannot be governed.

An equal but important right is to not to have to listen to speech, and that is what’s missing. Freedom of speech is the right to embarrass yourself without limit. They are afraid of truth as it resonates in the soul, making soundness of mind inevitable. They quote none of the work that is in error, they complain about the consequences of truth and its emotional responses.

Truth is hate speech and no one tells the truth about rabid Islam like Ms. Geller.
Democrats are kissing Moslems @$$es, which is making it easier for the Moslem savages to take over.

Muslims quickly learned our vulnerabilities and how to use our own language to defeat us. They understand that “hate” is the worst thing in the minds of Leftists, because Nazism was based largely on hate/xenophobia against Jews and other minorities.

So now anyone who uses that word automatically becomes the noble person calling out the “hate” of supposedly evil people. Leftists like lemmings, quickly get triggered and assume the right thing to do is to silence anyone who tells the truth about ideologies.

Hate is a useful emotion, it tells us the difference between what is right and wrong, good and evil. So hating an ideology that incites hatred against others like Nazism and Islam, is beneficial to our freedom and survival.

What we need to do is to take back ownership of the word ‘hate’ and have it correctly applied to groups/ideologies that deserve it like Islam. Muslims only got the upper hand because they started using it first.

We need to make people realize that the real hate resides with Muslims, they’re the ones who really deserve to be hated because their religion incites them to hate, attack, rape and kill us infidels/non-Muslims and that Islam is worse than Nazism.

Only by taking the narrative back from the Muslims can we defeat them. We do this by standing our ground and forcefully spreading the unvarnished truth about Islam. Once we win the ideological battle, the real war will be a piece of cake.

Remember the vast majority of people don’t know what to think because they don’t take the time to research/study Islam or its history of 1400 years of violence and bloodshed against the rest of humanity. So it is up to all of us to educate as many as we can. Once we have most people on our side, then we’ll win.

you bring something of interest

if we use “hate” we’re going to sound like effeminate leftists. That’s not an option.

we need an idea of something bigger than “hate” and more attractive, far less emotional but more thoughtful

bigger than just muslims because collectivism make people lazy, without virtues and goals in life and unattractive.

collectivists think the group will bring them everything they need, so it is easy to hide all your weakness and never remedy and improve your situation. Do I sound like Jordan Peterson?

the idea should be moderate, much like moderate republicans because the financial system is not sustainable.

But pushing each one of us to improve, learn, make, going a bit beyond personal limits (but not too far) is probably an appropriate answer.

So short, it is telling the hard truth (The Truth must be Told)

Collectivism will destroy us. Moderate but proud nationalism is needed, responsible grown-ups, protective but not asphyxiating

(ok I don’t have the big idea yet to counter the “hate” stuff, a very weak posture by the way “I am weak and I need to be protected” like helpless kids)

Sad thing is that Trump, I don’t think he cares as much about free speech as we wish, especially after hearing his video games are to blame speech plucked right out of 1995.

Oh goodie, goodie, so Eventbrite does not “permit events, content, or creators that promote or encourage hate, violence, or harassment towards others and/or oneself,” and thus condemns and censors all the incessant Muslim ‘promotion or encouragement of hate, violence, or harassment toward others’ …… – NOT. What utter frauds and cowards.
