"Big Tech Is Purging Project Veritas For Exposing Their Corruption. Project Veritas is being systematically purged from various tech platforms following their continued work exposing Big Tech censorship. First they removed the pinterest expose, then Google censored the expose on them citing privacy.

Veritas has been banned from Reddit and Now Vimeo following their continued investigations into silicon valley censorship and corruption."

Corporate tyranny is still tyranny.

Although I believe many of these big tech companies are running afoul of existing anti-trust laws, ultimately it will be up to the consumer to take away the power they have over our access to information by using alternate platforms such as Bitchute, Minds and Dissenter. Remember, people though myspace would rule social media forever, but the consumers themselves decided differently.

Why would big tech be special? Big corporate everything is mostly ignored for anti trust law issues.

Silly question since I do not go to Red state or for that matter Huff much. opinion sought...

Wouldnt the Veritas be heavily played on say Red State? vs a left leaning site. IE Veritas is self sustaining because its audience comes from right leaning sites?

I don't trust the government to enforce anti-trust laws at all. As I said it would be up to the consumer to limit their stranglehold on information by choosing to use alternate platforms. Maybe I'm not right wing enough but I don't know much about Red State and I wouldn't know much of anything about project Veritas at all if it weren't for their presence on more mainstream platforms. And Google is no help. If you google project veritas you get a bunch of left wing "watchdogs" trying to debunk or downplay anything they expose. (which kind of lends credibility to the claims project veritas is making about them right now)

The danger with people switching to alternate platforms is that we'll all end up in echo chambers. That's preferable to everyone being in a left wing echo chamber that censors anything that threatens their narrative, but it comes with problems of its own.

Interesting point...

...then the question becomes, do people really want truth, or do they want to hear what they want to hear in the echo chambers?

If a sizable portion of the populace desire a relative standard of truth instead of actual facts and truth... let's just say that it won't end up well for us.

The fact with the Big Tech nonsense is that many people are OK with shutting up disagreeable viewpoints.
