Clamping down on QAnonsense

mercredi 13 janvier 2021 à 01:00

Twitter is clamping down on QAnonsense, blaming it for stirring up the insurrection.

Facebook is putting a limit (easy to work around) on one PR phrase used in election disinformation.

If anything deserves to be censored, it the fascist movement, because that is dangerous to Americans and our freedom. But it was the power of these giant companies that enabled the wrecker to build the fascist movement, and that power is dangerous in itself, aside from the danger of the fascist movement.

We need to reduce their power, not reassure ourselves that "They are protecting us now."

The right wing's Orwellian shift: from praising media dominated by big business as "freedom" to condemning this as tyrannical censorship.
