Social Media Marxist Bully's"

One of the many great things about being an American is that we have the right to freedom of speech. I may not agree with what my neighbor has to say, but I will fight to the death for his or her ability to say it. This concept was a founding principle that is now in jeopardy because of the monopoly power wielded by social media giants.
An example of this disturbing trend occurred this week when a video from several frontline doctors who questioned the status quo position on COVID-19 treatments and protocols was summarily scrubbed from most top internet and social media sites.
After going “viral,” the video was immediately taken down by Twitter, YouTube, and several other prominent platforms. Unfortunately, many Americans missed the opportunity to watch the video before it was removed.
The reason for removal stems from the concern that the content contained in the video was misinformation about hydroxychloroquine (an extremely politicized drug used to treat COVID-19) and other information about the virus.
It would have been great to have been able to discuss the content of the video within this opinion editorial, but unfortunately, the video was censored by Big Tech so rapidly that even I have not been able to watch the entire video.
With that being said, this type of “cancel culture” creates an environment where people are mostly exposed only to their small polarized echo chambers. They are less likely to encounter alternative views and information, which exacerbates division.
Coronavirus, like many issues in America, has been politicized to a point where medical professionals are shut out of the discussion if they don’t agree with the status quo. Isn’t the media supposed to present all angles and give credence to experts who have alternative opinions?
The idea that simply disagreeing with the masses or dissenting from government mantras results in such backlash is disturbing in the least.
Perhaps John Stuart Mill said it best, “The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.”
The main issue with censoring information and alternative opinions is that it reduces the ability of one to critically think and analyze facts. The information in the video could have been a complete hogwash. Or of a riveting new discovery, or a mixture of both. Unfortunately, millions of Americans will likely never know what the doctors said in the video.
In America, we treasure the idea of a robust public discourse. In many ways, Americans engaging in debate is how we have made major progress. Questioning the status quo can lead to very good outcomes and should be welcomed, not banned. Imagine if abolitionists or women’s rights advocates were banned from stating their opinion because those in charge simply disagreed with their positions.
The behavior by social media companies and other tech giants to quell certain opinions and information does no good, except to keep those in power in the driver’s seat.
100% Controlled = 100% Fake
What if....let’s say 75% of facebookers closed out their accounts and dropped them permanantly...
I’m old enough to remember Letters to the Editor. They were always subject to editing for length and to remove anything the editor thought wads inappropriate or libelous. That’s because the newspaper was a publisher and could be held legally responsible for what it published.
The phone company could not be sued if someone made a slanderous statement over it’s lines because it was not a publisher, but a neutral platform or common carrier.
As long as the exercise editorial judgement, we must stop treating social media companies like neutral platforms and hold them responsible for the content they publish.
Lib-Whackjobs inspired Political Correctness and killed Freedom Of Speech. RIP.
Just say something controversial. You get fired, your family leaves you, your friends and social media accounts disappear and your house is torched and your car is destroyed.
All I said was “Nice day, eh?” It was a little cloudy that day. Sigh.
;-)
Crimes have been committed.
They’re opt-in web services. There are alternatives.
Telecom news is the real threat
CNN is ATT
NBC, MSNBC are Comcast
Federally licensed telecom providers
All or the social media giants need to be broken up they are trying hard to control the majority of public political information so it fits their social agenda and political point of view.
These people are Arrogant, Un-American, and intentionally manipulating the social media to be anti conservative by controlling or eliminating conservative input.
They need to be stopped ASAP/broken up, or totally and instantly shut down.

Twitter is playing doctor when they have not even hired a resident real and true health expert to make these judgements and decisions yet... The job is still available in fact...
https://careers.twitter.com/en/work-for-twitter/202007/data-science-manager-health1.html
And here is another one still not filled as a “health narrative” expert...
And another for machine learning algorithms concerning health issues...
They are acting without any qualified professional scientific judgement or scrutiny as it is right now. Pure politics based on a narrative and propaganda. “Their” experts are not even in place yet.
I have all 3 videos safely downloaded and playable from my hard drive, backup and multiple other offline devices.
There’s too much use of personality hate Trump preferences as the excuse for quote, impeachment, unquote. It’s a distraction from the real reason.
What should be looked into and brought to public attention is the connection to the corruption used by the swamp creatures Trump would put a screeching halt to. And offered as the real reason why they are going after Trump.
In political campaigns while the use of Social Electronic Formats are useful in presenting political positions. Relying solely on using those venues is a mistake because of their SEF content limitations and media bias .
Consideration of the use of reprinted material including handouts and flyers such as of articles in FR and the planning of area saturation distribution known as “blitzing” in the targeted area is essential of one wants to win.

The democrat controlled media racist killing reporting was a deliberate miss portraying of the six foot seven inch 200 plus pound Floyd as an innocent black who was being forceably restrained because he was black not because he was resisting arrest.When He was legitimately arrested for passing a counterfeit $20 dollar bill he was resisting arrest and was a threat if not secured. But the media was not mentioning his size or reporting that Floyd was removed from a squad car because he was acting up under the influence of drugs and also later was discovered to have COVID 19. Which suggests his physical condition may have led to his death which the media turned into a murder change and a charge of serious abuse by police because of police efforts that were tried to get him who under control.

If Obama had urged blacks to believe in the justice system and comply with the police would we be confronting his use of creating racial division now ?
The results of politically induced miss reporting incidents where blacks have resisted legitimate arrest began to be used earlier during and after the post Zimmmerman trial, then on to the Ferguson episode. Obama’s abuse of the “Bully Pulpit” which seemed to promote resistance to legitimate arrest led to black gangs attacking non blacks found innocently traversing black neighborhoods and to a score of murders or life changing injuries and later attacks of theft and vandalism on local businesses as well as attacks and murders of police officers during that period
