Finally, after months and months of Big Tech becoming increasingly Orwellian, President Trump has hit back, blasting the industry for it rampant bias against Right wingers in a series of tweets:
"Social Media is totally discriminating against Republican/Conservative voices", Trump tweeted today. "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!
This is pretty good, but the one thing missing is a clear threat to use anti-trust laws to break up virtual monopolies like Twitter, Google, and Facebook, which are directly attacking American democracy by their Leftist bias and anti-free-speech tyranny.
Maybe he didn't say that yet because he was worried about picking up a ban.
Just words. Same as on immigration, all words no deeds.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. Trump talks a good game but is not a serious man.
