    The only reason CNN is reporting about this is because their own “journalists” were affected for once. Julian Assange, a real journalist is being tortured and they couldnt care less.

      I also loved how liberal line was that these are private companies that can decide who is allowed to use their platforms, anybody who doesn’t like it is free to make their own platform, and so on. I wonder what changed all of a sudden. 🤔

          Both liberals and conservatives use it whenever it suits their interests. When it comes to social media though, it’s very much dominated by the neoliberal establishment.

    A fascist billionaire hating it is for nearly all things one of the biggest seals of approval you can get.
