Suggesting the government is not doing everything they can in regards to investigating VAERS covid death reports when there is no evidence that they or the CDC is... Investigating ANY reports is bat**** crazy? That's the sort of thing that needs to be part of the public discussion. If it is not allowed, then we have a serious problem.

Twitter bills itself as a new digital "town square", not some private club. If you open your property to the public and encourage discussion (by making it possible) but then squash what you don't like, well it's not the old fashioned town square they claim it to be and that should be made clear to everyone. You can't benefit from huge adoption and THEN impose censorship. That's is deceptive and slippery.

She was highlighting that it isn't verified and that it SHOULD be. And that information should be made public. Where there is smoke there is fire and until VAERS "smoke" is explained it must be assumed it is from a fire.

Apparently that thought escapes our fellow conservatives.

How can you be a conservative and argue against property rights?


I'm not.

I'm not even arguing that Twitter can't ban anyone they want.

I'm saying that if they keep doing so in an obviously biased way where they are basically a acting as a defacto propaganda wing of the Democrats.....there will end up being consequences.

They and other big tech companies are only going to be able to hide behind the "private company" shield for so long.

It's not what I'm arguing for.

It's what I'm predicting.

You're arguing semantics, bias. Which is arguable.

I'm a conservative, and I find MTG bat**** crazy and a detriment to our cause.

Big tech may get regulated in the end, but not because of their political bias, but rather antitrust.

One of the most conservative members in Congress agrees with you and acted on it.

Every year, people resolve to do things that are better for their health — quitting alcohol, processed food, toxic relationships. I have come to the realization that my relationship with YouTube is dysfunctional.

Sure, I can get millions of views. But why should I allow anonymous “fact-checkers” to censor my fully sourced, fact-based content? They don’t want to challenge or debate me with opposing views, they just want my silence.

So today, I announce that I will begin an exodus from Big Tech. I will no longer post videos on YouTube unless it is to criticize them or announce that viewers can see my content on rumble.com.

Why begin with YouTube? Because they’re the worst censors.
