I see a bit of hyperbole involved over the importance of Twitter banning people and being available to all as if it was a 1A right. While I don't like the practice and can't stand Jack Dorsey, I don't use Twitter and haven't since the Obama administration. I am old enough to remember the time before the Internet, before cable TV, before smartphones, when you had word of mouth and five over-the-air TV stations, radio and newspapers (which were leftist rags even back then). Sometimes I am amazed at how well informed I was back then. I'll catch myself telling a story about how it was back in the old days and wonder how in the world did I even know that was happening.

Granted, social media can help communication, but I suspect the reality of the situation is that about 99% of what is communicated is noise and unneeded. I really do not need to know local news of someplace 1,000 miles away or even 100 miles. Most of the crap news on social media is just that. Too much becomes national or global on social media. That removes focus for the importance of issues, since every moment spent on crap is a moment not spent on something of national import (or state).

As for Project Veritas, I certainly find out about its work without Twitter. As long as there are conservative news outlets and an open Internet, there is a way to get message out. People need to stop being afraid of life without social media. Kill it. Stop using it. Take that power away from people like Jack Dorsey. We really do not need social media, we would be better served by a little more focus on the big stuff. (Don't sweat the small stuff.) Additionally, life is much better dealing with people face-to-face (without face diapers) instead of through devices.

Stop pretending that Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTub are merely private entities. They are the major conduit for information. Rolling over and playing dead to support leftist control the flow of information is a disgusting abdication of our responsibility as citizens.

There is no such thing as a free press when leftists control all the avenues of dissemination. You may be OK with the first amendment in name only, a system perfected by Nazis, the Maoists, and Stalinists, but conservatives will not stand for a Potemkin village media.

Stop this despicable attempt to delegitimize those of us working to ensure the free flow of information, to protect first amendment rights that are true in practice, not just in theory.

As for Project Veritas, I certainly find out about its work without Twitter.

Project Veritas is exposing the hypocrisy of the establishment. These people at Twitter and CNN seek to be the sole purveyors and providers of information to the public, and conspire together to exclude and suppress any contrary facts while asserting otherwise. The existence of the information provided by Project Veritas and the misfeasance of equal treatment by Twitter serves to reinforce the theories of bias and conspiracy.

So it is significant. People who rely on Twitter and CNN as authoritative and honest, thus disparaging alternate news sources, may be persuaded otherwise with actual facts.
