On May 6, Laura Chen of Blaze TV channel made a video
about “Big Tech censorship” that explains particularly well the greasy, oily
slope of big tech’s censorship and de-platformings, most of all the Facebook
Purge 4.0 on May 2.
She does not regard any of the persons banned as
extremists in the traditional sense. She makes particular note of the idea that
the reasons mentioned for banning several of the people included association
with other extremists, and that very little had to do with TOS violations on Facebook
itself.
She also reviewed the history of the Patreon problems
(“manifest observable benavior”) last winter.
She seems to believe that the intention of the
platforms is to weaken conservative presence on the platforms so as to
guarantee that Trump cannot win in 2020, and that right wing and EU separatist
candidates cannot win in Europe.
This is a sign of increasing political combativeness
of the far Left.
This does not seem to be racist or sexist (or even
religious) so much as it is anti-individualist or anti-meritocratic or
anti-objectivist, and wants to re-impose the control of the group, but the alt-right
wants to do that, too.
Tim Pool and David Pakman did a combined livestream
tonight, which I’ll get into tomorrow on Wordpress. There was a lot of discussion of whether Section
230 excuses platforms from civil rights laws – it does not directly, but it
would free them from disparate impact concerns.
