Conservatives face a tough fight as Big Tech's censorship expands

Conservatives face a tough fight as Big Tech's censorship expands

As Big Tech’s censorship of conservatives becomes ever more flagrant and overt, the old arguments about protecting the sanctity of the modern public square are now invalid. Our right to freely engage in public discourse through speech is under sustained attack, necessitating a vigorous defense against the major social media and internet platforms.

From “shadowbans” on Facebook and Twitter, to demonetization of YouTube videos, to pulled ads for Republican candidates at the critical junctures of election campaigns, the list of violations against the online practices and speech of conservatives is long.

I certainly had my suspicions confirmed when Instagram, which is owned by Facebook, “accidentally” censored a post I made regarding the Jussie Smollett hoax, which consequently led to me hearing from hundreds of my followers about how they've been having problems seeing, liking or being able to interact with my posts. Many of them even claimed that they've had to repeatedly re-follow me, as Instagram keeps unfollowing me on their accounts.

  1. I don't use "social media" period. It's a fetid quagmire that's controlled by Liberals for their own purposes. I want to convey a message to someone I Stand or sit within 3 feet and hold a conversation. or call them from my landline using a desk-set telephone wired to the wall. If those two can't be used I get out a lined pad, use long-hand to write my message seal and stamp the envelope and drop it at the post office.
