The left's culture of censorship

 DailyWire:

Independent journalist Glenn Greenwald laid into “censorship culture” in a Saturday tweet, saying that it had clearly emerged as the weapon of choice in Democratic politics.

Greenwald began by predicting that because of the resounding failure of the campaign to cancel podcast juggernaut Joe Rogan, attempts to censor others in the future might not have the desired impact.

“Your campaign to censor and silence Joe Rogan failed, which means the next time you launch a similar censorship campaign, you will be weaker and less intimidating,” he said.

“This is the inevitable destination of the censorship culture that has emerged as the primary weapon in Democratic politics: back to demanding that music and books be censored. The re-birth of Pat Robertson and Tipper Gore,” Greenwald continued, sharing a video of newly-elected New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) calling for social media companies to remove certain videos.

“I had no idea what drill rapping was, so I called my son and he sent me some videos, and it is alarming,” Adams said. “We are going to pull together the social media companies and sit down with them and state that you have a civic and corporate responsibility, you know, I mean — we pulled Trump off Twitter because of what he was spewing yet we are allowing music — displaying of guns, violence, we’re allowing it to stay on these sites — because look at the victims.”
...

Stephen Miller appeared to agree with Greenwald’s assessment, adding, “The speed at which these guys are starting to suggest mass censorship for every policy solution is not surprising but nonetheless alarming.”

“Can NYC just have a mayor who is not openly running for president in week 6?” Karol Markowicz asked.

“This cop is attempting to scapegoat music as the cause of a ‘crime wave’ in order to justify instituting even more draconian policies on the city &create an even worse police state,” @andrejgee added. “Don’t let it happen.”
...

There is more.

Don't let the left get away with controlling speech in this country.  They remind more of the Soviet Union than Tipper Gore.
