Massachusetts Republican State Committee passes resolution opposing censorship
January 28, 2021

Responding to the growing trend of speech suppression, especially in the online public square, the Massachusetts Republican State Committee voted Wednesday night in support of a resolution opposing all forms of censorship.

The resolution, introduced by State Committeeman Jay Fleitman and State Committeewoman Mary Lou Stuart, calls attention to a “select cabal of technology corporations” and cites “the censorship of press reports and commentary critical of a presidential candidate, the silencing of a duly-elected president, and cooperation resulting in the systematic shutdown of alternative social media platform.”

“Congress has refused to take action on any of this and apparently they’re unconcerned that a small group of powerful tech oligarchs have the power to silence the voices of millions of Americans,” Fleitman said. “We are headed in a dangerous direction, and if people don’t make their voices heard, I shudder to think where we will wind up.”

Fleitman added that he found it “disturbing” that social media giants Twitter and Facebook resorted to censoring the country’s fourth largest newspaper after it accurately reported news that had the potential to harm the chances of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.

They’ve gone a long way to rest control from Baker’s goons. Now what will they do with it? This is promising.
