Right, and it was probably done VOLUNTARILY. And while I might not like it, this is probably the correct conclusion.
We all know the SM companies are run by leftists.
I hate to say it, but it’s likely the correct conclusion.
I doubt very much that the White House had to put much pressure, if any, on the SM companies to run cover for them. They’re all in the same globalist boat.
It’s up to these private companies as to whether or not they want to adhere to and fight for freedom of speech principals. Musk does. These leftist companies went along with the comrades.
So the deciding issue was whether there was coercion? But my argument is that it is almost impossible to entangle cooperation with the government’s preference, which amounts to self censorship, from the fear that not cooperating means being punished. That in my mind is censorship. It does not always have to be a direct “shall not.” It is enough if an action is taken because of the implication of government displeasure.
“Right, and it was probably done VOLUNTARILY. And while I might not like it, this is probably the correct conclusion.”
So doing the same with newspapers would also be fine with you? Maybe we now are the Soviet Union, after all.
“ We all know the SM companies are run by leftists.”
EVERYTHING in America is run by Marxists.
