| Democrats demand more Big Tech censorship, collusion, and deplatforming |
| 2020-11-21 |
| [PostMillennial] When Republicans wanted to know just why a person, page, or view would be suppressed, Democrats said tech companies should suppress sooner, and thanked them for the censorship they had provided. Republicans looked to ensure the rights of Americans online, while Democrats asked tech companies to crack down harder against freedoms of expression. Conservative senators like Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and Josh Hawley called out Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg, CEO's of Twitter and Facebook respectively, for their platforms' penchant for banning, suppressing, and censoring Americans. While they held these sites to account for the power they wield over American discourse, their counterparts on the left advocated for more of it. Sen. Diane Feinstein told Dorsey that "the entity that runs this operation ought to have an understanding that when there is a major situation that the tweets can play a unique role in reassuring or stirring people up to unacceptable levels." Feinstein wanted warning labels on President Trump's tweet to be more stringent, for Twitter to be more censorious, not less. She called into question the warning labels on Trump's tweets regarding the election. "Does that label do enough to prevent the tweets harms when the tweet is still visible and is not accurate?" |

| #1 Surreal. These are the people who imposed a blackout on any and all news about the gross corruption of the Biden family. Including evidence suggesting that Biden himself has been compromised by the Chinese, thanks to his monster of a son's retarded, berserk, unbelievably profligate behavior. All of it suppressed as if by totalitarian state media. Unbelievable |
