Oh It's Okay When They Do It...

So last week we had another case of far left Twitter banning someone who's ideas are not in line with the politics of the company.

Far left Twitter decided to give right leaning Jewish political commentator Laura Loomer a life time ban after she pointed out that democratic elected Ilhan Omar supports sharia law. Which in no way violates twitter's guidelines, as this is public knowledge and Omar has been rather open about it that fact that she supports sharia law. What they didn't like was that Loomer pointed out what some of those laws are, like the death penalty for homosexuality, and oppression and abuse of women. You don't have to believe me go look it up for yourself, there is a lot of things about killing anyone who criticizes their book or their prophet, and some very limited rights for women. Obviously all of MSM celebrated that yet another person on the has been removed, their argument is, well twitter is a private company so they can ban whoever they want. Remember when they were bitching about the christian baker, funny open it's a private business only when it suits them, hypocrite much.

"Censorship is the tool of those who have the need to hide actualities from themselves and from others. Their fear is only their inability to face what is real, and I can't vent any anger against them; I only feel this appalling sadness. Somewhere in their upbringing, they were shielded against the total facts of our existence." - Charles Bukowski

There is however a bit of a difference when it comes to a baker and private communications company, like imagine the phone company decided to suspend your account because they didn't like what you were saying on your phone. What about the power company did the same because you were using electricity to power you Steem witness, because they think that crypto was a scam, you end up going down a dangerous road when you ban people because they have different politics than you. These companies have liability exemption form what ever their users post as long as they stay neutral, as soon as they start filtering or banning people with opposite political views they are no longer neutral and are basically functioning a publisher. Which mean they can then be sued for the things their users post, just like any other publisher, at the moment they have the best of both worlds. If you are looking so anyone who is able to influence an election, you don't need to look at Russia, just look at these far left social media companies.

"Quite frankly, I think political correctness is the worst form of censorship. You're not allowed to speak your mind unless you're black, or unless you're a terrorist, or unless you're an Arab or a minority people. Then you can say what you like. But if you are like a lot of us you are not supposed to say certain things." - Wilbur Smith
