Must have dawned on them that Big Tech now runs things and *they* could be next to be banned.

We look like real hypocrites right now and there is no end in sight. Isn’t the left no longer interested in how we look to the rest of the world?

No, read between the lines here.

They will want an International Commission run by the UN to regulate all digital communication, and take it out of private hands, and they certainly don’t want it controlled by a US Company.

Perhaps these governments have long wanted control over the internet and see this as their opportunity to be the ones in charge of who gets to be heard — and who doesn’t.

Biden Has Ties To 5 Major Tech Companies
Daily Caller ^ | 1/11/2021 | Chuck Ross
Posted on 1/11/2021, 7:04:07 PM by EBH

At least 14 people who President-elect Joe Biden has picked to serve either in his administration or to advise his transition have worked for the Big Tech firms that cracked down earlier this week on President Donald Trump and a social media site popular with conservatives.

Apple’s top lobbyist was a chief adviser to the Biden transition team. A former Facebook executive will serve as staff director in the Biden White House, and a former Twitter executive will serve as chief spokesperson for the National Security Council under Biden.

Current and former executives at those firms and two others, Google and Amazon, fill out other positions in the incoming Biden administration, or his transition team.

The five tech giants all took action this week against Trump and Parler, the social media site, in response to riots at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.

The US can now claim rightful leadership of the 3rd world shithole kleptocracy. Maybe Uganda can lead a UN delegation to ensure free and fair elections.

Pierre Trudeau, Canada's PM in the 70s, once said that being a neighbor of the US is like sleeping next to an elephant. You don't sleep soundly because you're constantly worried he might roll over on you.

All these nations named have always kept one eye cocked on the US to watch out for whatever we do next that might hurt them.

The prospect of a USA where the Executive Branch, both Congressional Branches, the (soon-to-be-packed) Judicial Branch, the Tech Titans, the MSM, Hollywood, higher education, and now even the major banks and other mega-corporations just to name a few - are all on the same page and determined to unite together to punish past (I said "past," not "to") the fullest extent of the law any protesting voices, must also be making them awfully nervous about what could be coming down the road for them.
