Seems people are getting ready to actually do something about being silenced.

While President Trump has weighed in on breaking up monopolies like the one currently being built by tech giant Amazon, Parscale’s tweet is one of the administration’s first indications that social media networks are also being monitored.

The **** has officially hit the fan.

Obama was the one who spied on the Associated Press and Fox News. The other mainstream media outlets were initially upset but then realized he was black so they couldn't say anything.

Or what?

Gimme a break. Trump can’t do squat. He needs to stick to arguing with CNN. Social media will rip him a new ass if he tries to go after them.

Sorry, bud. Private companies. Not censorship. They can silence whomever they want, whenever they want. Besides, there are plenty of other social media options besides Google/Youtube, Facebook, and Twitter.

In addition, antitrust laws are unjust, violate property rights, and penalize success.

"(The) meaning and purpose of antitrust law is the penalizing of ability for being ability, the penalizing of success for being success, and the sacrifice of productive genius to the demands of envious mediocrity." - Ayn Rand

"The only viable definition of monopoly is a grant of privilege from the government. It therefore becomes quite clear that it is impossible for the government to decrease monopoly by passing punitive laws. The only way for the government to decrease monopoly, if that is the desideratum, is to remove its own monopoly grants. The antitrust laws, therefore, do not in the least 'diminish monopoly.' What they do accomplish is to impose a continual, capricious harassment of efficient business enterprise." - Murray Rothbard

Let's not forget that it was Fox News who went to a Florida court to protect it's right, under the first amendment they said, to lie to, and deliberately mislead it's viewers.

OK... They cannot have it both ways.
Get ready for the lawsuits for liability.
Pick your battles wisely!


Senator Cruz tripped him up, “For some people who are posting you’ll restrict viewership only to those who are actively following them? All of us on the right have been victimized by this, watching our audiences disappear."

Cruz ended by warning them that if they “are a neutral public forum, it does not allow for censorship, and if they are not a neutral public forum, the entire predicate for immunity under the CDA is claiming to be a neutral public forum, so you can’t have it both ways.


It’s nice to know there is some recourse though not much given their penchant for lying, secrecy, covering up.
