Amid Big Tech fight, web hosting company gives conservatives a cancel-proof alternative – By Adam Shaw (FOX Business) / Sept 8 2021
RightForge says it operates with an ideological commitment to free speech
As conservatives look to fight back against what they see as an ideologically driven censorship push by Big Tech, one company is looking to make the building blocks of the Internet cancel-proof – giving conservatives more solid footing online.
RightForge is an internet infrastructure company providing server space and web hosting, with what it describes as an ideological commitment to free speech, and it is offering a platform that caters to conservative outlets, campaigns and others who fear they could be canceled by Big Tech.
“We are absolutely ideological,” CEO Martin Avila told Fox News in an interview. “What we saw here was the need to have the internet, because it was created in America, carry with it as part of its principles American values, American ideology – that’s our ideology. We believe that the American framework, the core ideas enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution incubated the internet.”
Conservatives have been sounding the alarm on what they see as a crackdown against them by Big Tech companies like Amazon, Apple, Google, Twitter and Facebook. They point to the shutting down of former President Donald Trump and the Twitter blocking of the Hunter Biden laptop story as two prominent examples.
