REVOLVER: The GOP’s Outrage Over Big Tech “Censorship” is Fake
Revolver ^ | Oct 25 | Revolver

Posted on 10/28/2020 9:17:30 AM PDT by RandFan

Republicans in Congress claim they are outraged after Facebook and Twitter worked to suppress the New York Post’s bombshell story exposing Hunter and Joe Biden’s lies about Hunter’s dealings in Ukraine and China. But the majority of them are faking it. Republicans have had years and countless opportunities to put real pressure on Big Tech. Even at this very moment, Republicans are refusing to take actions that would protect Americans from the predatory global tech elite.

As they have for more than a decade, Congressional Republicans are using Twitter as a smokescreen, a substitute for real action. Immediately after Facebook and Twitter’s censorship stunt, dozens of them made energetic tweets denouncing big tech and vowing to bring them in line.

For the vast majority of Republican lawmakers making strident attacks on tech over the past few days, this anger was phony. Republicans have spent years feigning outrage to get votes while doing nothing of importance in Washington. That is why politicians must be judged by their actions. And right now, Republicans’ actions on tech show them to be completely in thrall to a cabal of tech giants who hate them and hate their voters.

Lindsey Graham will hold hearings and Rick Scott will meet with the Biden Crime Family.

The GOP is helping Biden and his TREASON in Texas
and other states.
They are PAYING for fraud votes and worse.

Backstabbers, they are.

There is no censorship—and if any of you right wing extremists out there claim there is, you are _banned_.

Another attempt to equate the current Republican Party of Trump with the old Republican Party of McCain.

Influence peddling has been going on since there was influence to peddle, it is morally wrong, like insider trading is morally wrong and a crime...Plausible deniability is Joe's excuse for now...

I think this is true for some in the GOP like Graham. The republicrat class sold us out long ago.

However, I do NOT think this is true for Hawley, Cotton, Blackburn, Cruz, and others.

The GOP is changing and the trend is towards Trump. Dare I say it, but we may have cracked the wall the Chamber of Commerce has had around the GOP for years.

Definitely, if they were not they would have Joe Biden and company in for questioning. Course that will never happen.

Simple law:

1) As a public utility, nothing comes down unless it is patently illegal or by court order.

2) Anything taken down must be restored by court order.

3) Utility shall pay court costs in losing cases.

4) Search algorithms must be content neutral and public.

4 short sentences.

Just wished I could have made it until election day. But I am down hard. I am getting rid off all the crap after the election. I’ll be back here and that is about it.
