I think it's totally cool and good that a major tech oligarch working directly with the government censored the speech of a sitting US congresswomen for the abominable crime of quoting a statistic simply because it was framed in a way that doesn't conform to the institutional narrative.

The institutions that seek to control the free flow of ideas in the information economy obviously have our best interests in mind. That's why any challenge to their ideas is labeled dangerous misinformation. The Pfizer CEO told me that these people are literally responsible for millions of deaths, and he seems pretty trustworthy. There are even direct financial ties between Pfizer and one of the main fact checkers Twitter uses - Reuters. It's for our own protection.

This doesn't seem like a threat to our democracy at all.

Comments like this are exactly what she and her Big Corp doners want to see, as they develop an alternate universe for voters who would otherwise never vote for her and Republicans who are making their lives worse. It's the only way to get snails to vote for a mound of salt as their political rep.

And you think Twitter isn't big corp? You think big pharma, who are making record profits (in the billions) from vaccines this year, aren't benefiting from censoring anything that could affect their bottom line as "dangerous misinformation"? You think that the interests of big tech, big corp, big pharma, and government, all being completely aligned on censorship and "misinformation" is a good thing? Beneficial to society? Can't possibly go wrong?

I don't give a fuck about MTG or what she thinks. The alternate universe you're talking about is one where information is democratized instead of being gated by the data barons of the institutional narrative. The difference between us and them is that we don't seek to censor, and we encourage doing your own research and coming to your own conclusions. Meanwhile the data barons are writing articles about how critical thinking is dangerous and the science can't be questioned.

I stand for the rights of the free exchange of ideas for anyone, regardless of their backing or ideology. Has nothing to do with D or R. They are both running on the same platform of "not the other" and don't give a single fuck about you or I.
