The Wash. Post told an outright lie in this morning’s front page account of Elon Musk’s Twitter purchase. "Musk represents a different kind of owner from Twitter co-founder and CEO Jack Dorsey, or his now rival Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, who generally try to stay politically neutral,” the poisonous paper states without evidence. Anyone who has paid a moment’s attention to Twitter and Facebook knows that explicit political partisanship has been the M.O. with which these two corrupt powerful Big Tech monopolies have put their massive thumb on the scale of public discourse.

Dorsey and Zuckerbucks took it upon themselves to ban a duly elected President from their platforms. They collectively decided that something as American as lying about an election should, in effect, be made illegal even after Zuckerbuck’s own wife embedded voting equipment and actual personnel in overwhelmingly Democrat local election offices around the country. The incontrovertibl e existence of a laptop which contained possible evidence of Biden family corruption wasn’t just "moderated” and contextualized; those who tried to publish the story were demonized and falsely labeled as dupes of Russian "disinformation .” And why are Twitter and Facebook, ostensibly neutral public fora, telling us to vote in the first place? Or to get vaccinated? Or that context must be added to Biden’s and Fauci’s occasional "misinformation ” about vaccines and masks?

Twitter and Facebook enjoy particular legal protection (Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act) from users’ comments. They are platforms, not content publishers, and the Supreme Court must eventually put a stop to these massive Big Tech monopolies as they clearly and illegally (?) attempt to put their massive footprint on both sides of the line. Twitter and Facebook cannot continue to have it both ways, at once claiming to provide a public forum and yet producing censorious content of their own.

1 Can't happen soon enough. Although I believe Musk is honest about his intentions with Twitter.

2 He is and has been all along Dana. And he's shining the light on the dirty tricks big socialist networking has been employing - something intolerable to the Left, who always seek more shadows in which to hide.

3 Twitter and Facebook cannot continue to have it both ways, at once claiming to provide a public forum and yet producing censorious content of their own.
