“there is a rather complicated issue that is out there that not many people are aware of. It emanates from back in 1996 with the passage of something called the Communication Decency Act. Just a few weeks before the 2020 election, Twitter did what was previously unthinkable: It suppressed a longstanding, legitimate news outlet--that was the New York Post--from sharing an article either publicly or privately it deemed unfavorable to Presidential candidate Joe Biden. Obviously, they were concerned about Joe Biden, and they were using this act to suppress information that may not have been favorable. That is not what is supposed to happen, what it is supposed to do. To make it worse, they suspended an account of the Post--that is a major news outlet--for over 24 hours. While other big tech entities suppressed the story as well, the depths of Twitter's censorship reached new heights, telling users that sharing the article could be ``potentially harmful.'' There is no criteria to determine what is potentially harmful; they just decided-- it is a liberal mindset, and they want to punish people who are not sharing their mindset. Contrast that with the refusal to moderate any comments made by Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, who called Israel a ``cancerous growth'' to be ``uprooted and destroyed'' and for the ``elimination of the Zionist regime'' through ``firm, armed resistance'' despite having a policy against hateful conduct and glorifying violence.…”
