"Removing people from these [social media] platforms works, and we need to keep doing it, and doing it more aggressively" -- DCCC's @kurtbardella to @JoyAnnReid. More and more censorship of political speech is a top priority of American liberalism. msnbc.com/the-reidout/wa…
Huge majorities of Democrats -- huge -- favor not only having Big Tech monopolies censor the internet more, but also favor *having the government* do the censoring. The dominant political faction in Washington is completely authoritarian. pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021…
@ggreenwald @kurtbardella @JoyAnnReid They could just try not to violate the ToS.
@ggreenwald @willchamberlain @kurtbardella @JoyAnnReid @threadreaderapp Please unroll.
@ggreenwald @abetterworld98 @kurtbardella @JoyAnnReid The disinformation should be targeted as it’s a national danger during a pandemic
@ggreenwald @kurtbardella @JoyAnnReid It’s not a singular issue, Both “sides” want the same advantage, and have us always saying “them”…..
@ggreenwald @kurtbardella @JoyAnnReid It’s not censorship when a private company determines a person spreading proven falsehoods and misinformation is in violation of their terms of service.
@ggreenwald @kurtbardella @JoyAnnReid Removing people who shout, “Fire!” in a crowded theater while spraying gasoline, is public service.
@ggreenwald @kurtbardella @JoyAnnReid The right invented this kind of thing and continues to be better at censoring speech. I get your points (re: msdnc et al). But why the hyper focus on that side, Glenn?
@ggreenwald @kurtbardella @JoyAnnReid Noooooo removing dangerous disinformation, removing hate speech, removing dangerous conspiracy theories, removing white nationalism, etc. Pretty sure you get the gist 🙄
