Social media acting as Democrats' censors?

 I&I:

Over the weekend, Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene got the Donald Trump treatment from Twitter: The social media platform permanently banned her personal account. If this were simply a private group deciding who can and can’t participate in its forums, then there’s no problem. That would be Twitter’s right. But we know Democrats are using private companies to censor speech they don’t like, and any discussion that threatens their plans to accumulate ever more political power. This is not America, more like Amerika.

Twitter booted Greene due to her “repeated violations of our COVID-19 misinformation policy,” which is another way to say she’s tweeting messages contrary to the narrative constructed by the Faucists: There is no solution to the pandemic outside of vaccines, lockdowns, and masks.

Twitter, which regularly sends users to “Twitter jail” when their tweets challenge and offend left-wing orthodoxy, permanently banned Trump a year ago “​​due to the risk of further incitement of violence.” It has also permanently suspended a Newsmax reporter “for repeated violations of our COVID-19 misinformation policy,” which means his tweets didn’t meet the Twitter mob’s demand for conformity. Dr. Robert Malone, an mRNA vaccine researcher, has also been suspended from Twitter. The official word is he disobeyed the platform’s COVID-19 misinformation policy – he said something the Twitter hall monitors didn’t like.

Meanwhile, YouTube pulled the video of the Joe Rogan podcast in which Malone compared America’s widespread obsession with vaccine mandates and extreme pandemic measures – to the exclusion of therapeutics and sensible precautions, we should add – to “​​what the heck happened in Germany in the ‘20s and ‘30s.” 

YouTube also promises it will “​​remove any content published today (or anytime after) that alleges widespread fraud or errors changed the 2020 U.S. presidential election outcome.” We don’t recall a similar policy dealing with the faked Trump-Russia scandal. 

None of this would be troubling if Twitter and the other social media companies that regularly police and block content (always in one direction: against the political right) if it were nothing more than private companies making private decisions. But Big Tech companies have become government agents enforcing one party’s speech codes.

...

To show that this is no vast right-wing conspiracy creating false talking points, we present Glenn Greenwald, who recently tweeted that “Democrats have long been making clear that a top priority – not ancillary – is the removal of their political adversaries from social media. Democratic politicians have been demanding it.” 

Writing in Substack, Greenwald says that “​​House Democrats have made no secret of their ultimate goal” of exerting “control over the content” found in these online platforms. “They intend to use state power to influence and coerce these companies to change which content they do and do not allow to be published.”

When those sick of the censorship decided to move along with a free market solution and start a rival company, the Democrat-Big Tech axis tried to use the raw power of government to snuff out the attempt.

...

No one should trust the tech geeks and Democrats on the issue of censorship.  

They are the ones who censored evidence of the Biden family corruption that monetized Joe Biden's office through the years.  The story was based on Hunter Biden's laptop which was falsely accused of being Russian disinformation.  Their action led to the election of Biden and polling showed that censoring the truthful information resulted in his election.  

Their censorship led to the least intelligent President in history and a disastrous administration.  It tells you something about the evils of censorship.
