Now that Democrats have secured, by fair means or foul, the White House and both chambers of Congress, they’re calling on social media platforms to silence conservative thought.
The public square is no longer a soap box placed in a park — it’s gone digital. And for all intents and purposes, Facebook and Twitter have a monopoly of who may set their personal soapbox on their platform, as well as tell them what they may or may not say.
Shortly after the brief takeover and violence on Capitol Hill Wednesday, Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat blocked the president of the United States — Donald Trump — as though he were personally responsible for the mayhem.
This wasn’t the first time Trump was silenced by social media. In August Twitter temporarily blocked his campaign account for posting a video of the president stating during an interview that children are “virtually immune” from getting COVID-19.
All told, Twitter has censored the president and his campaign 625 tines, according to the Media Research Center.
In addition, Twitter and Facebook repeatedly fact-checked tweets in which the president accurately claimed that universal mail-in ballots were a recipe for fraud. And Democrats are fine with it.
Lawyer and former first lady Michelle Obama called on Big Tech to permanently ban President Trump from their platforms and put policies in place “to prevent their technology from being used by the nation’s leaders to fuel insurrection,” and capped it by calling him “infantile and unpatriotic.”
She received her law degree from Harvard University. Apparently Harvard deleted constitutional law from its curriculum.
Washington Examiner chief political correspondent Byron York reported that it wasn’t just the president — social media was also silencing his supporters, including Dan Bongino “for posting [a] Trump video message after [the] Capitol riot.”
