(Addendum to below point about being publishers)
*** PUBLISHERS HIDING BEHIND A CLOAK OF A PLATFORM ***
GOOGLE, Facebook, Twitter and others and their media platforms can only function because they feed off a public internet that was designed and built using US taxpayer dollars.
As they are operating a public forum, the first amendment should apply and should trump their so-called user agreements (which these companies violate regularly with little or no consequence.)”
They claim to be “open” and in favor of “free speech” are routinely targeting — whether by human intervention or not — the views and expressions of conservatives and anti-globalists.”
This is why they no longer even fit the bill of “platforms.” They are PUBLISHERS in the same way we regard news outlets as publishers. They may use more machine learning and automation, but their systems clearly take editorial positions. We need to hold them to account in the same way we do any other publisher.”

Dozens of Employees at FACEBOOK Unite to Challenge Bias…

“At (FACEBOOK) staff meetings, they said, some workers have repeatedly asked for more guidance on what *** CONTENT *** the company disallows, and why”
Clearly, this is indicates that they are PUBLISHERS!
They cannot profess to be neutral, open platforms while being illiberal, dictatorial, and hiding behind the visage of a private corporation (which are more often than not in bed with governments around the world at the very highest levels).
These corporate-state geeks, use their platforms to encourage totalitarianism. Censoring ideas and opinions that go against their Urban Globalist Marxist objectives. It is used to create “useful idiots” by promoting “group think” and squelching freedom of expression. It enables oppressive governments to monitor and control their citizens. Eventually monitoring every aspect of human life to the extent that even having a disloyal thought against its ideaology will be against the law.
This technology is being weaponized to breakdown a nations borders, language and culture and erase history.
It is a weapon of mass destruction and is no less dangerous then biological chemical and nuclear weapons. It must be contained and eradicated.
Witness what Google is currently doing. Here is an American company working with communist chinese dictatorship government to censor and supress its citizens. These corporate-state geeks have no problem with totalatarian dictatorships are now undermining our republic and doing the same thing here (suppression) in the USA for money and ideaology and control freakism as they “know better than you”.
This isn’t capitalism.
It’s a new type of global corporate fascism!
All run and staffed by Urban Globalists Geeks who have much in common with global Marxism using our infrastructure paid for by US tax payers!
These “progressive” corporate-state geeks prove time and again that they are against our first amendment rights, dispite what they publically say. And they make up 95% of these social media companies. They are immature and act like totalatarian dictators because they know better then our laws and better than you.
Our Freedom and liberty for individuals and sovereign states is at stake.
All of the geeks, executive decision making geeks, middle manager geeks and low level geeks must be put out of business with extreme predijuce for our freedoms, liberties and republic to survive.
Having this power in the hands of a global corporate totalatarian geeks who would be king or anyone else is absurd, dangerous and unwise.
Shut them down by regulating them out of business, NOW!!!
