Communism Kills’ Ashley Rae Groypenberg was keeping track of every company, celebrity, and brand that was donating to or financing Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and those associated with the riots taking place across the United States of America.
On June 8th, 2020, Groypenberg tweeted out that her list on Medium was no longer available after the company suspended the account.
My Medium account was just suspended because of the list I’ve been creating of companies support Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and the rioters. pic.twitter.com/2VVkHjt0io

If you’re unable to view the tweet for whatever reason, there’s an image that Groypenberg received from Medium’s Trust & Safety commission, who very broadly and vaguely gave the reason for the suspension, which isn’t much of a reason at all.
As pointed out by Groypenberg, her list was culled just as Medium decided to feature a piece on the front page about CEOs fighting back against “racism”.
Apparently her list garnered enough attention to warrant the company to divert eyes away from the growing project.
Today Medium suspended my account because of the list I’ve been compiling of the companies that support BLM and Antifa. This is today’s first curated story on Medium: “CEOs Need to Treat Racism Like the Pandemic It Is: How to reimagine companies in the era of Black Lives Matter.” pic.twitter.com/AsQHbeR8Ft

The basic gist of it is that the list was curated to include every major brand, corporation, and outfit that was openly supporting Black Lives Matter, as well as those who had been directly donating to the cause, or putting money into the pockets of the bail fund project, which was designed to help bail out those who have been arrested for unlawful behavior, such as rioting, looting, vandalism, resisting arrest, or disorderly conduct.
Before Medium suspended my account, the list of companies I compiled that issued statements in support of Antifa and #blacklivesmatter had over 352,000 views. pic.twitter.com/589rxvOA8g

This isn’t even the first time that Medium stepped in to censor someone or something on sociopolitical grounds. Previously they had an article removed for alleging abuse from a publisher, while back in 2018 they censored various Conservative authors as part of a policy update they rolled out.
It’s obvious that the powers that be are attempting to utilize censorship to keep prevent people from viewing the list. After garnering more than one-third of a million views, Big Tech decided they weren’t going to stand by to allow people to be informed.
Medium’s Trust & Safety commission basically came up with an excuse to deplatform Groypenberg, and don’t be surprised if other platforms attempt to follow suit to prevent people from gaining useful information as to whose funding a lot of the continued chaos happening across the United States of America.
