Twitter censors WSJ article on Kim Klacik, ‘A Black Lives Matter Republican’

Big Tech is so desperate to maintain control of the narrative, they're risking everything to prove themselves right in the end.

There is nothing more terrifying to a Democrat than a person of color who refuses to abide by the leftist narrative. That’s why Kimberly Klacik is such a threat to their narrative. It’s also the reason Twitter is censoring an article about her from the Wall Street Journal.

While some may note that “censorship” is too strong of a classification since Twitter isn’t completely blocking the article, it’s fair because it reduces the reach dramatically. The story has been Tweeted by a dozen or so people and retweeted by hundreds. Considering the subject matter, it’s very likely that without the speed bump they put on the article for sharing, it had a chance of going viral. Now, not so much.

Desperate is right. They have effectively abandoned all pretense of being a nuetral platform. They would not be conducting themselves in this manner if they were confident that Joe Biden and the Democrats had this election in hand. Clearly, they are panicking.

I know I still quote from Twitter from time to time... but they are making it difficult for me to continue using their platform.

I've seen a couple of interviews with Kim Klacik, and I like her approach. She tells it like it is. She's in an uphill battle, but I wish her the best.

Big Tech is going to be in for an eye-opening 2021 if Trump wins. You can rest assured that things are going to change with FB, Twitter, etc. People have had enough of the blatant bias.

The FCC has already announced that they are reviewing these companies eligibility for liability coverage under Section 230 as a result of being a "nuetral platform".

I’m glad Twitter is doing this. Hopefully people will flee from them in droves. (including Trump)

I hope that their liability protection under Section 230 is revoked.

It needs to be. They are really desperate to censor Kim Klacik. She's got about as much chance of winning that district as Biden does Idaho and Trump does California. Actually probably less.

Maybe the Dems are really terrified Trump eats into their monopoly of the Black vote. There have been just vicious verbal attacks on a Black friend of mine who supports Trump.
