It is truly frightening stuff. This is what left-wing tech executives talk about when they believe they are exclusively around a left-wing audience.
Some comments by Swisher:
My son, who is 13 years old, started watching Ben Shapiro videos. And he's like the gateway drug to the next group. And then it goes right to Jordan Peterson, then it goes down and in three clicks he was in Neo-Nazi stuff
Does anyone believe listening to a conservative Jewish person leads to Neo-Nazism? And Jordan Peterson, who pitches Psychology 101 to people who have never heard it before is a problem?
I've got this kid who's like, "Well Ben Shapiro's sort of smart." I'm like, "No he's not! Not even slightly! He's clever but he’s an idiot."
Ben Shapiro graduated high school at 16, college at 20, and Harvard Law at 23. What are your intellectual credentials Ms. Swisher?
Do you feel like the people in Silicon Valley have a sense of this, of the impact they have, and are capable of dealing with it? Or will regulatory measures just have to come into place?
Do the tech companies know the impact conservative voices have? Are they capable of dealing with it stopping them?
The YouTube CEO brings the subject back to Swisher's son, to which Swisher responds:
He's lost.
I would say he's found. He has escaped being indoctrinated by his leftist lesbian intersectionist mother.
In response to the YouTube CEO's question: "I don't think you're suggesting that we remove him from the platform. Are you?" Swisher responds:
I would, but I can't.
Money quote. She then goes on to make deeply dishonest direct comparisons between Ben Shapiro and conspiracist Alex Jones.
What Swisher is saying is: I am a progressive lesbian, and my right to preserve my identity and what I consider my identity's exclusive ideology not just for myself, but for those around me, and I don't like my son getting an opinion that is different than mine, even if there is nothing illegal about that opinion, therefore I want the people who have a different opinion banned.
This is Stalinism.
But she clearly sees no place for ideological diversity, based on the fact she wants to censor her son from any ideological diversity.
If you think about it, the one thing diversity in age and national origin brings to an organization is differences in thinking, in values, and yes, ideology.
Her grandfather was a high official in the People’s Party (Communist Party) in Poland she still retains both Polish and US citizenship.
What’s she going to do when she learns her kid is now watching Jordan Peterson videos?
See my tag line.

Even Ted Cruz now agrees with Lizzie Warren.
It’s time to bust-up the big Silicon Valley tech firms.
Not on the face of it, but when you bring Gargoyles evil algorithms into it you never know what they'll dish up (based on what you click on).
Gargoyle ASSUMES that if you watch Shapiro, you MUST be a neo-Nazi.
“We look at the comments. We actually remove hundreds of millions of comments every quarter that we think are problematic, so we are monitoring it.”
Notice how this totalitarian socialist (NAZI) wants to dictatecwhatnis right and wrong. Her way or the highway. TOTZLITARIAN DICTATOR.
You know how people justified the beginning of all this because “It’s just Nazis who are being banned”?
Guess what, folks - YOU’RE the Nazis, from the Left’s point of view. You’re next.
How did our generation suddenly discover the Nazis anyway? Our fathers and grandfathers defeated them without thinking they had to support homosexuality, worship "people of color," or let the white race die out. How can these twits possibly know more about the Nazis than the generation that fought them? Do they even know that Japan was allied with Hitler?
They must think Hitler invaded sub-Saharan Africa and killed six million Mexicans. In fact, weren't almost all of Hitler's victims Europeans??? (Counting European Jews as Europeans here.)
That’s how they do it. Leftists want their will imposed on everyone.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha! "Gateway drug"...!!!!
Typical totalitarian thug Democrat.
Did anyone ask where she bought the young man she is torturing?
But liberals want to ban whatever they don't like from anybody else being able to see it.
One is freedom. The other is fascism.
You can decide which is which.
The Party of Tolerance doing what it does best.
Yes, because listening to Dr. Peterson's exquisitely subtle and convincing arguments about the human mind, but also about human instincts, is liable to awaken a preference for the hate-filled YouTube videos of Farrakhan.
