This kind of censorship is anathema to America. Even under the guise of being a “private company,” Twitter’s actions are a clear violation of your right to free speech guaranteed by the First Amendment. Disgusting.
I’m noticing many things missing on Youtube these days. I wonder whether there is any way to track what is going on. We used to have houses filled with books and DVDs. It’s now so much easier for big tech to make large swaths of important information silently disappear. This is horrific.
Youtube wasn’t censoring Abby. They just needed more room for cute cat videos.
