Yesterday was a huge milestone in the battle against big tech censorship. Early in the morning on August 18th Donald Trump took a major stand. He stated that his administration would not let the voices on the right continue to be silenced.
All major social media sites have been caught recently either shutting down conservative pages or shadowbanning them so they can only reach out to a fraction of their audience. Alex Jones was also completely removed from every single major social media platform with the exception of Twitter. This type of behavior is detrimental to a free and open society and should be considered as election meddling. This type of massive censorship could shift millions of crucial votes across the country in the midterm elections if it is allowed to continue.
The left keeps talking about Russians posting fake news on social media platforms and meddling in our elections. Yet there is no word from them when these companies attempt to silence an entire side of the political spectrum. This type of censorship is more devastating to our country than anything any foreign country could attempt to do to us. As of right now these are only words from the Trump administration, but the fate of our country relies on these words turning into actions.
Social Media is totally discriminating against Republican/Conservative voices. Speaking loudly and clearly for the Trump Administration, we won’t let that happen. They are closing down the opinions of many people on the RIGHT, while at the same time doing nothing to others…….

…..Censorship is a very dangerous thing & absolutely impossible to police. If you are weeding out Fake News, there is nothing so Fake as CNN & MSNBC, & yet I do not ask that their sick behavior be removed. I get used to it and watch with a grain of salt, or don’t watch at all..

….Too many voices are being destroyed, some good & some bad, and that cannot be allowed to happen. Who is making the choices, because I can already tell you that too many mistakes are being made. Let everybody participate, good & bad, and we will all just have to figure it out!
