Uh...yes I know all that. And more.

I've seen some of what they ban and it isn't h**e speech. I'm not a huge fan of PragerU but its an easy example. Youtube (owned by Google) bans their videos which also aren't h**e speech. I've seen various articles disappear. None were h**e speech unless one has really gone way off the deep end.

It is abuse of power. They are huge and they control what many see. Still, any objection from the left on this abuse of power is conspicuously absent because its skewed in their favor. You can bet if it was l*****t material disappearing they'd be quite vocal about it.

There's a lot more for a different topic. Targeted ads and controlled feeds where you have no real control are not benign actions. Facebook spies on users private messages and data. They were caught again recently. Google manipulates search results.

This goes beyond right and left and political parties.

You are funny. I'm not whining. I put it up because your response was ignorant.

Nothing "ignorant" about pointing out the obvious.

Trump threatens SNL with federal investigation for mocking him.

The President tweeted in the early Sunday morning hours a threat to have the NBC late night comedy series investigated by a federal agency. The offense? Mocking him.

“It’s truly incredible that shows like Saturday Night Live, not funny/no talent, can spend all of their time knocking the same person (me), over & over, without so much of a mention of ‘the other side,'” the president wrote. “Like an advertisement without consequences. Same with Late Night Shows. Should Federal E******n Commission and/or FCC look into this? There must be Collusion with the Democrats and, of course, Russia! Such one sided media coverage, most of it F**e News. Hard to believe I won and am winning. Approval Rating 52%, 93% with Republicans. Sorry! #MAGA”

And then there is Facebook.

President Trump threatened an investigation into Facebook over perceived bias after a White House staffer was temporarily banned from posting comments on the site.

Now Nunes.

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee and its former chairman, is suing Twitter and a number of its users for more than $250 million.

Who is repressing Free Speech by such threats? The intimidation implicit alone in these three actions should be enough to worry every patriot about a movement to an autocracy. Trump's constant attack on the 1st Amendment, by calling the Free Press "the enemy of the people" and undermining its legitimacy, is an obvious tell of his autocratic leanings. Every dictatorship started this way. Ignore the signs. Make it just some Left wing meme for the upcoming 2020 E******ns. Tell yourself it is wild exaggeration by h**ers and it can't happen here. Or pay attention.

Then there is this, https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/devin-nunes-sues-twitter-users-behind-devin-nunes-mom-and-devin-nunes-cow-accounts, He is suing Twitter inc. and two parody accounts, @DevinCow https://twitter.com/DevinCow/ and @DevinNunesMom (Twitter account suspended) for $250 million for defamation. How's that for defending the 1st amendment?




Edit: Funny part, @DevinCow had around 1,200 followers and Devin Nunes' own account had about 394k followers when this started, @DevinCow now has over 537k followers, looks like The cow is winning.
