Very telling that the "free speech" brigade who spent years (falsely) decrying Meta's censorship of right wing views, are absolutely silent about the actual censorship these platforms engage in
“Powerful organizations… decry ‘threats’ to democracy in the form of foreign interference, influence, disinformation, misinformation, and even conspiracies. That ultimately undermines the most powerful engine of our democracy, which is freedom of speech and expression.”

“The NYT cares more about its place in the power structure than in actually affecting that power structure. It cedes prominent column space to bad faith politicians who would like to eradicate whole demographics of the U.S. population. It dabbles in trans panic as a sort of weird hobby.

The Pro-Israel Techies Who Got TikTok Banned
The US government is censoring TikTok because of Gaza, not China.
“Every time I document a massacre or event or bombing, I think that maybe through this bombing or this image that the war could stop and this war would end. This drives us to continue in our coverage to our last breath.”
"Until our last breath": Journalist Anas al-Sharif on Documenting Israel's Genocide in Gaza Every Day for 11 Straight Months

“The robust financial backing the right wing content creator ecosystem enjoys, allows extremists the ability to fund professional production teams, social media ad buys, and marketing initiatives that give them a competitive advantage online. In contrast, progressive creators are left to rely on meager donations and crowdfunding efforts to sustain their work.”
