They definitely do censor in a partisan manner.

Leftists get sunrisedeminetized and censored super hard so they never get a following in the first place.

The right is allowed to build huge followings until they break the TOS in such brazen fashion that they have to be dealt with.


Doesnt change the key point. If you want to distinguish between the true™ left and corporate Democrats, then the criticism simply changes to:

"Big Tech have become partisan actors since they censor both the true™ left and the right, they take a strong pro-status quo or pro-corporate establishment stance and steer the debate toward positions which are favorable for this interest group".

The social media giants censor and suppress not just full-blown racism à la KKK, they also censor a ton of legitimate conservative opinion.
If you can't see that, you're either willfully ignorant or not paying enough attention.

Do they though?

Because people like Sargon of Akkad didnt get banned until they started sending gay porn to people, and Alex Jones stayed on until he started harrasing parents of dead kids.

They 100% do.

Tucker Carlson interviewing Bobulinski was by far the most tweeted about thing that night and it wasn't even considered trending by Twitter. They had topics that had less than 1,000 tweets in the top 20....

They pick and choose what they deem relevant based on political beliefs. How is that not censorship?

If you ever wonder how people seem to have endless amounts of energy and work all the time nonstop, they actually don't. They take massive amounts of drugs to keep going. The dirty secret about life is that if you aren't willing to destroy your body by doing hard drugs that allow you to put in 70-80 hour work weeks, you are considered lazy and get left behind. That's how they end up with major health problems down the road. I mean, its not just rock stars that do crazy long tours and endless gigs with lack of sleep and learn to take massive amount of drugs to get through it until they burn out before 40 and die of a drug overdose.

Meanwhile Trump made the greatest economy in the world as is married to a supermodel. Metalwise4u is an ant on the ass of a pig.


He made the greatest economy in the world according to who?? Just because your "god" says something doesn't make it true. And I'm sure your married to a supermodel as well right?? Ya that's what I thought :)

So if I am a ant on a pigs ass does that make you a hair on a pigs ass then?? Hell atleast the ant has more value right

naht such an organism actually can provide value. that user is just another pale pasty privileged lefty who offers nothing to the world

oh don't worry it will back to being 'Obama's economy' in 2021.


So what's identified as a privileged lefty nowadays. Trump supports keep changing the standards but I am sure both you and EndlessSky are both privileged righty supporters. I mean hell all you two seem to do all day is go on forums and defend trump all day

Also I don't support the left or the right. Just find the shit funny as hell whether its Biden or Trump

Think I found a picture of both you and EndlessSky though. Man talk about being a privileged righty.. my god get a tan you two

The vile reality denier strikes again.

Imagine citing media matters, an organization dedicated to smearing and deplatforming non-leftists... to try to debunk the obvious and well documented fact that social media sites censor political content in a partisan manner.

No, Trump's follower count on facebook doesn't refute that fact.
A media matters facebook study is not the be all end all of the situation either.

Another classic case of acting like a smug twat and copy/pasting low quality left wing sites instead of trying to really understand the situation and consider the views of people who have different opinions and actual facts you don't like..


i like how you're not even trying to pretend to argue the issue itself anymore, just straight to ad homs and partisan spins. also funny how you completely ignored the first two links, guess it's hard to just outright ignore FACTS when they are presented by outlets like the BBC and reuters.

point is, the alleged left wing bias of social media is nothing but a right wing conspiracy. show me ANY study that proves it or GTFO with your silly little attempts to just discredit whatever you personally don't like...

Nobody wants to take their entrepreneurial freedom away. What's up for debate is whether they deserve the special protections and privileges that they derive from their status as a platform.
