Or you are a conservative and the Left is afraid of letting you debate issues on their platform because they themselves are power-hungry Autocrats who are afraid of the t***h.

Ted Cruz Has Some Uncomfortable Questions for Those Comfortable With Tactics of Big Tech Overlords
By Sister Toldjah | Jan 09, 2021 12:15 PM ET

As my RedState colleague Nick Arama reported yesterday, Twitter has wasted no time in purging conservative/Republican Twitter accounts from President Trump’s and on down, using the Capitol Hill r**ts as an excuse to shut down Twitter users they’ve longed to remove from the platform but didn’t because they wanted to pretend to be fair and balanced.

In addition to that, conservative Twitter users who haven’t been suspended are reporting follower loss numbers in the thousands, with some in the tens of thousands.

It’s obvious what’s going on here, and it has nothing to do with any supposed concerns from The Powers That Be at Facebook, Twitter, etc. about “incitement” in advance of Joe Biden’s inauguration later this month. Despite it being obvious, however, there are those on the left and the virtue-signaling right who have rushed to bow to Big Tech overlords in response to their crackdowns because apparently, they think their accounts will be safe from them because they’d never ever dare post anything that could be misconstrued for WrongThink, right?

But in that, the gullible on the left and right could not possibly be more wrong. And Sen. Ted Cruz, who along with Sen. Josh Hawley, is ridiculously being blamed for Wednesday’s Capitol Hill r**ts for having the nerve to do what Democrats did after the 2000, 2004, and 2016 p**********l e******ns by objecting to some E*******l College v**es, had some pointed questions for those showing fealty to the Twitter and Facebook gods:

And if the milquetoast tweets President Trump posted that got him permanently suspended can be declared “incitement” by the liberals running these companies, anyone can face the same punishment by tweeting/posting much less:

Make no mistake about it: No matter how innocent your words are, these people can come for your accounts and the followings you have worked hard to build up at any time. This is not about “incitement” in any way, shape, or form. Do not be fooled.

This is about censorship and control of narratives. It always has been.
Big Tech is un-American. This is un-American what... (show quote)

They are not allowed to be monopolies nor can they behave in concert to affect governance by extortion. They are allowed to donate money and time, they are not allowed to interfere with the conduct of governance.

No. You are confused. Thats what the bigoted Trumpers and Trumpettes wish to have happen to people whose skin color and natal origins they oppose, out of fear "they will take our stuff!" This is such a fixed and evil belief and associated impulse, they can't imagine anyone else who wouldn't naturally seek do the same to any "others" who disagree with them.

Not entirely. They have no right to v**e... or put their 'thumbs' on the scale.

No he doesn’t. Its amusing you think its that simplistic.

What isn’t amusing is your easy acceptance of it.

It is exactly about that and you won't ever be able to make it be more.

Nice try, except that the SCOTUS gave them the right to impact the v**e by using a rather large scale via the
Citizens United ruling.
Just look at the big deal it is that so many PACs are backing off donations to both individuals and the parties. Just check out the articles about the robocalls paid for by the Republican Attorneys General group, they are losing hundred of thousands of dollars many times over. Damn big thumbs sitting on those scales, no?
