Well, today's the day. Today is deactivate day. It's the day that will

0:03.6

wait in and many other people on the left are going to deactivate their

0:06.0

Twitter accounts in the hopes that Alex Jones will be banned within 30 days.

0:10.2

If they don't reactivate their Twitter accounts within the 30 days after

0:13.9

today, their accounts will become permanently deleted.

And will Wheaton is advocating for a couple different alternative social

1:08.8

I have to imagine Will Wheaton knows the history of the Jester

1:11.9

and knows the accusations laid against it. So if it's true that Counter-Social is pure racism,

1:18.8

nationalist, and open to fascists, is Will Wheaton actually advocating for a platform that is
