Big Tech Censorship Continues Unabated

For months, the big tech overlords have indulged in censorship to a degree unseen in American history. Mostly, they have feebly tried to justify their censorship under the guise of preventing the spread of so-called misinformation. Whatever that means.

However, more and more, they are censoring content that has absolutely nothing to do with possible misinformation but everything to do with protecting their preferred political ideology.

Case in point: Twitter and Facebook have taken it upon themselves to prevent the American public from its right to know that Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors has purchased multiple mansions over the past few years.

Why would Twitter and Facebook do such a thing?

According to the New York Post, the nation’s oldest newspaper, the answer is simple: “It’s too dangerous to let Americans read politically inconvenient but accurate reports, varied opinions, and come to a conclusion themselves. Best to tell us what to think.”

I bring up theNew York Post for a reason.

Earlier this week, the Post published a completely fact-based article about Khan-Cullors’ lavish home purchases.

Khan-Cullors, the self-described Marxist, has been increasing her real estate portfolio to the tune of $3.2 million over the past four years. Nothing in the article was misleading. Nothing in the article was untruthful. Nothing in the article was even mean-spirited. It was simply a fact-based account of Khan-Cullors’ four home purchases over the past four years.

Yet, Facebook and Twitter silenced the Post, again.

According to Facebook, “This content was removed for violating our privacy and personal information policy.”

Twitter defended its censorship of the Post article by claiming it “violated the Twitter Rules.” No further explanation needed.

Taken at face value, this is disturbing to say the least.

Regardless of the weaselly reasons given by Facebook and Twitter for banning the story, it sure does not line up with their past actions concerning the publication of home purchases by those in public life.

In fact, newspapers throughout the country constantly publish articles about celebrities or public officials who buy lavish homes. It is public information after all.

However, big tech has a soft spot for BLM and leftist political organizations in general. So, they feel that it is well within their rights to shield the American public from any information that might undermine these organizations and their affiliated causes.

That is not what we in America call freedom of speech. It is downright censorship. And it is extremely dangerous.

Why, you might ask? Well, the answer is simple. Censorship begets more censorship.

Take almost any historical example of a society that chooses the road of censorship over the road leading to freedom of speech. What do you get? Inevitably, more censorship.

In Nazi Germany, where censorship ruled the day, book burnings were commonplace. The media was a tool of the state, meant to mimic the party line. Nothing more, nothing less.

The same thing is occurring as we speak in China. And Venezuela. And North Korea.

Censorship is like a malignant tumor for a free and open society. Once in place, it metastasizes.

The only known cure censorship is more, not less, speech.

To make matters worse, the current administration has been using big tech and other big corporations to punish and censor thier critics.

This is very dangerous road to say the least.

When you've got a government established political party allied with big corporations actively working together to censor thier critics and punish those who speak out against their policies, you've got a tyranny.

The sadder fact is that despite these actions being as un-American as you can get, we have millions of Americans supporting this behavior.

The democrat party is in bed, openly, with big tech, corporate billionaires and mainstream media, and most of the left refuses to see that as a problem.

At the same time African Americans in Alabama are fighting to unionize Amazon warehouse workers, the democrat party has thrown open the border to import hordes of cheap labor to enrich thier billionaire donors. It's truly wretched to behold.

They want thier utopian society so bad.... you want to know what it'll look like? Look no further than north Korea, or communistChina. It's a perfect example of where the democrat party is headed.

New York Post is Censored by Social Media, Again

On Thursday, Facebook decided to censor a New York Post article about Black Lives Matter co-founder, Patrisse Cullors, a "trained Marxist" who has come under heavy criticism for the hypocrisy in her buying a $1.4 million home in a largely white neighborhood. The piece in question, by Isabel Vincent, from April 10, reported that "Marxist BLM leader buys $1.4 million home in ritzy LA enclave."...



"Trained Marxist" dumbass bought a million-dollar home in a white neighborhood and tried to explain it away by claiming her family needed a place to stay. Apparently without realizing she was confessing her family not only are a bunch of deadbeats but also that they prefer to hang out among white folk. And it's had to believe she has even half enough smarts to tap off so much money in such a brief period of time without leaving her fingerprints all over felony embezzlement.
