TRUMP TEARS INTO BIG TECH OVER CENSORING INFOWARS: ‘LET EVERYBODY PARTICIPATE’
‘Censorship a very dangerous thing’ he says
President Trump ripped into Big Tech over censoring Infowars and other conservative and libertarian voices, warning that his administration “won’t let that happen.”
“Social Media is totally discriminating against Republican/Conservative voices. Speaking loudly and clearly for the Trump Administration, we won’t let that happen. “They are closing down the opinions of many people on the RIGHT, while at the same time doing nothing to others…….,” Trump tweeted Saturday.
"Censorship is a very dangerous thing & absolutely impossible to police. If you are weeding out Fake News, there is nothing so Fake as CNN & MSNBC, & yet I do not ask that their sick behavior be removed. I get used to it and watch with a grain of salt, or
don’t watch at all..” he continued.
Trump then questioned who gets to make the final decision to censor an individual or group, adding that “too many mistakes are being made.”
“Too many voices are being destroyed, some good & some bad, and that cannot be allowed to happen. Who is making the choices, because I can already tell you that too many mistakes are being made. Let everybody participate, good & bad, and we will all just have to figure it out!”
He also criticized the left’s misguided obsession with Russia, noting China has been leading the charge in censorship with the help of Google, which faces stark criticism from its own employees for its involvement.
“All of the fools that are so focused on looking only at Russia should start also looking in another direction, China. But in the end, if we are smart, tough and well prepared, we will get along with everyone!”
Apple, Facebook, YouTube, Spotify, and others abruptly de-platformed Infowars and Alex Jones last week, claiming we somehow violated their terms of service by espousing “hate speech.”
Smaller companies also severed ties with Infowars shortly after, including MailChimp, Disqus, and Criteo.
The mass de-platforming was due to a massive media pressure campaign spearheaded by CNN, who’ve been lobbying for Big Tech to censor us for months, amounting to nothing less than tortious interference.
