The LinkApple, Google And Amazon Prove They Are Against Free Speech And CompetitionThis is truly an assault on the freedom of speech.
It is extremely frightening as an American to see what is going on in this country today, this massive assault against free speech will ultimately lead to Totalitarianism. What is totalitarianism, good question? The Britannica definition of totalitarianism is:
“form of government that theoretically permits no individual freedom and that seeks to subordinate all aspects of individual life to the authority of the state. Italian dictator Benito Mussolini coined the term totalitario in the early 1920s to characterize the new fascist state of Italy, which he further described as “all within the state, none outside the state, none against the state.”
If our government condones this type of behavior then they are complicit in squelching free speech and leading us down this road of totalitarianism. Mussolini said it best when he said “all within the state, none outside the state, none against the state”. Will the American people stand for this, we will see. One thing we must not do is to continue the rioting, looting, and burning of business and government property as we saw last year by Democrat supporters and what occurred last Wednesday at the Capitol. All rioting and looting, like we saw most of last year and last week, must be condemned by everyone and I mean all of it. We must peacefully do our best to demand our politicians investigate what occurred during our last election and bring back faith in our voting system to the approximately 70 million people who no longer have it.

Totally wrong. This is why the Right is hopeless and why I am leaving the country. Violence is the only answer, just as it was when the Americans declared independence from England in 1776. But today's Right is too stupid to understand this, so America is a lost cause.

I hear voices of concern about big tech's censorship from the left, both from within and outside the US. The leader of the labour party in Norway, for example, criticized the decision by twitter to delete Donald Trump's account. There needs to be a coalition between anti-totalitarians from both the left and the right. If this is to be decided by street battles, then we know from what happened in Italy and Germany in the 1920's and 1930's who are likely to win. In Finland, however, the fight between the far right and the Stalinists in the 1920's ended with more moderate conservatives saving democracy.

Yes, this should not be partisan issue.
Everyone with functioning brain should notice that when an unelected Big Tech cartel regulates speech, that affects everyone. Right now they are going after Trump and Trump supporters, but if can do that, they can go after everyone.
Alas, the raging Trump hatred that the media plus Big Tech have promoted for the last 4 years, makes many blind to that fact.

Surely that as rights so lefts are both at the same side (the libertarians have been considering them like this).
