This is still more social media censorship, and more attempts to
silence all conservative voices. We are seeing an unprecedented erosion
in our First Amendment rights, increasingly prohibiting the flow of
ideas and free expression in the public square (social media). Run by
left-wing self-possessed snowflakes, social media giants are indulging
their worst autocratic impulses. And because they can, it is getting
worse. “Absolute power corrupts absolutely.”Having grown up in the 1970s, I can tell you it was a vastly different country then. It was free. But we aren’t any no longer, and it is time we took back what is ours — our unalienable freedoms.
Having been one of the early targets of social media censorship on Facebook, YouTube et al, I have advocated for anti-trust action against these bullying behemoths. Early last year, I wrote: “The US government has used anti-trust laws to break up monopolies. They ought to break up Facebook. Section 2 of the Sherman Act highlights particular results deemed anticompetitive by nature and prohibits actions that ‘shall monopolize, or attempt to monopolize, or combine or conspire with any other person or persons, to monopolize any part of the trade or commerce among the several States, or with foreign nations.’ Couldn’t the same be applied to information? The United States government took down Standard Oil, Alcoa, Northern Securities, the American Tobacco Company and many others without nearly the power that Facebook has.”
