Big Tech is a big fraud with its bogus censorship

Internet giants can't put 74 million Americans into a 'memory hole'?

Democrats applaud social media that blacklists, censors and cancels thousands of Americans.

When Twitter and Facebook decided to ban President Donald Trump, censor The New York Post, and start erasing other people and institutions from their platforms, they started down a path which will have enormous consequences for them and for America.

Even the American Civil Liberties Union, normally an opponent of conservatives, felt moved to have its senior legislative counsel Kate Ruane issue a statement that big tech using its power to remove political speech is a concern for all Americans, saying: “We understand the desire to permanently suspend him now, but it should concern everyone when companies like Facebook and Twitter wield the unchecked power to remove people from platforms that have become indispensable for the speech of billions — especially when political realities make those decisions easier.” .

People noticed that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey (who combined earned zero votes for president) had claimed the right to silence President Trump (who earned more than 74 million votes for president).

As President Harry Truman warned: “Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.”.

The cancel culture and social media erasure movements are strikingly like Orwell’s vision of a “memory hole,” in which ideas that are no longer deemed valid by the those in power are destroyed so people can no longer access them.

First, the Internet giants are at risk of being sued for acting as indirect agents of government power.

Some argue that the protections of Section 230 also make them indirect agents of the government.

Those guarantees no longer make sense when you are dealing with gigantic worldwide institutions of enormous power and wealth.

There are more than 74 million Americans who voted for President Trump.

That would be a market of 37 million Americans

If only a small share of nonconservatives came to the new system, that would give it a potential market of more than 40 million Americans
