When Twitter and Facebook decided to ban President Donald Trump, censor the New York Post, and start erasing other people and institutions from their platforms, they started down a path which will have enormous consequences for them and for America.
Trump Derangement Syndrome
Authorities believe military-like ‘small unit tactics’ were utilized during Capitol incursion: Report
If accurate, it could mean the incursion into the Capitol was not the result of a demonstration by supporters of President Donald Trump simply gone awry, or that those who planned it even backed the president.

Anyone seeing a pattern here?
Nike will no longer fund Republican lawmakers who supported Trump
Nike, which has been documented to use slave labour in their manufacturing facilities in China, including forced labour from ethnic Uyghurs as part of the Chinese government’s ongoing genocide of the minority group, has long taken moral stances on political issues.

Disney to stop donations to Republicans who opposed certification of Electoral College vote
A Disney spokesperson said in a statement, “The insurrection at our nation’s Capitol was a direct assault on one of our country’s most revered tenets: the peaceful transition of power. In the immediate aftermath of that appalling siege, Members of Congress had an opportunity to unite—an opportunity that some sadly refused to embrace. In light of these events, we have decided we will not make political contributions in 2021 to lawmakers who voted to reject the certification of the Electoral College votes.”
Hollywood Elites and Violent Thoughts
Big Tech’s rush to take down and ban social media accounts or de-platform entire websites that they believe in some way caused the horrible rioting at the Capitol is based on fear — that Joe Biden’s inauguration will devolve into another riot. Or that there will be riots at state capitols.
Social media platforms such as Twitter are only focused on President Donald Trump and his millions of devoted fans. They don’t seem to focus on violent thoughts on the left, most prominently the Hollywood left. Apparently, their violent thoughts are never plausibly dangerous; no one could ever be incited by them.

The threats and violence Twitter won’t police
Of late, much attention has been focused on acts of censorship by Twitter. What has garnered far less attention is what Twitter chooses not to censor, and the examples are shocking both in content and in the hypocrisy that Big Tech shows in its effort to destroy Twitter’s competitor, Parler.
