The Matrix attacked me

The Matrix attacked me

Instagram aka Meta killed @rrdaily.

The week leading up to the election, I created a brand—a patriotic salute to those who challenge the narrative, a voice rooted in the values of our nation’s founding fathers. I built this as a testament to freedom of expression. I even made an Instagram account for it—American Defenders. But on Election Day, Meta deleted it. And that wasn’t all. My personal Instagram account of over 15 years, was disabled too.

All of my posts, memories, messages, every connection I’ve built over a decade around the world, gone. Why? Because of a brand name with America in it? A logo? This was a one-day-old account with no posts, no links, and no followers. But Meta saw it as a threat.

And the only explanation? Policy violations. Community guidelines. The reality is that I am not a rare case. This is happening to thousands of others. Businesses, creators, voices that challenge the status quo who are then silenced without warning. Where’s the transparency? Where’s the accountability? When I tried to appeal, it felt like a dead end. The only “support” Meta left me was a no-reply email.

This isn’t just about me. It’s about the freedom to speak, the freedom to connect, the right to support causes without fear of being erased. This is a counterforce against the Online Censorship Regime.

My goal is to gather everyone who’s been silenced, censored, or restricted to build a case against Meta. This censorship has affected many people, but it’s time for all of us to push back.

If you’re ready to take action, fill out the form.

Fight on,

Ray
