Social Media Giants Vow to Squelch Dissent [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 26 April 2020 | John Semmens

The corporate moguls in control of Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter have all promised to censor users "who try to spread misinformation about COVID-19 and undermine the government's policy of shelter in place," said creepy Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. "Posts that try to minimize the threat of the virus or spur opposition to the lockdowns intended to fight the contagion will be removed. The collective well-being of all depends upon unanimous obedience to the directives our government has issued. If we let a trickle of dissent go unchecked the entire dike holding back disaster may crumble."

YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki was especially concerned that "the unapproved therapies that we see being suggested by ignorant laymen, or even some doctors, undermine public confidence in the officially recognized and mandated therapies advocated by the World Health Organization. They also fly in the face of edicts issued by various governors like Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) and Gretchen Whitmer (D-Mich). These governors are responsible for determining what's best for the citizens of their states. Citizens have the obligation to do as they are told. We at YouTube will do our part to help ensure that this happens."
