It’s a private company, Twitter’s defenders insist, so it doesn’t need remotely passable reasons to ban the president from messaging his 90 million followers. “If you don’t like it, build your own,” sort of thing.
But that was as much a lie as the justification for banning the president, and the next night, Parler — an alternative to Twitter that had rocketed to the most-downloaded app on the planet literally overnight — was nearly destroyed by a combined attack from Apple, Google, and Amazon Web Services.
Parler had been used to organize the riot, Big Tech claimed. This turned out to be another lie, but it didn’t matter. The week’s riot had given them all the rope they needed for hangings, with corporate media — those bold lovers of the First Amendment — jeering and cheering them on their way.
The Capitol riot was used as an excuse for deplatforming an American president and smashing a private company, but it wasn’t the reason: The illiberal left has long used any pretense at all to justify its centralization of control and crushing of dissent; and Big Tech, once a free-wheeling vehicle for decentralized innovation, is now no more than an arm of the illiberal left.
One would have to be guilty of not paying attention if one thinks this all started a year ago. Pinning this trend on the "riot" is just as nonsensical as those who insist on calling it an "insurrection". The truth is that this has been happening/brewing for many years now, as social media platforms began to become the dominant method of presenting reality to the masses, their political/capitalistic priorities easily outweighed any notion of neutrality/truth.
Yes, the media and Big Tech is at war with America, but we are fighting back.
Which is why the conspired with the DNC to get rid of Trump. Trump was going to break up the tech monopolies and restore a competitive market. Democrats, of course, support the oligarchs and are too dumb to understand who rigged the election and why. It was not for the benefit of the people- only a few very rich people.
The dem party has become the party of the ultra rich who seek to establish a ruling class that presides over a permanent serf class. Democrats, as useful idiots, buy into their idiotic "racism" and "transgender" eddy currents which steer focus away from the real problem- them. They are laughing their asses off at how dumb the dem electorate is and how easily they are led about by the nose.
