Jen Psaki: Tech Monopolies Should Act as a Coordinated Cartel To Ban People Across All Platforms
BIDEN DOUBLES DOWN ON DEMAND FOR CARTEL-WIDE CENSORSHIP, TELLING MONPOLIES "THEY'RE KILLING PEOPLE" BY NOT DEPLATFORMING MORE

"What is your Social Credit score, Citizen?!"

Coming soon from National Review:

The Conservative Case for Permitting Monopolies to Act as Integrated Cartels Under the Direct Orders of the US Government, and Then Pretending This is the "Free Market in Action" Because the "Free Market in Action" Pays Us Money to Act As Their Shills

Oh, the GOP is itself bought off by the Tech Monopolies and the Chamber of Commerce, too.

But I expect that from politicians.

I find National Review's corruption more putrid.

Update:

Is the corporate pseudoright going to spin this as just more Glory of the Free Market in Action, or are they going to completely ignore it?

Answer: They're going to completely ignore it, as they usually do, because they're paid to bury bad news for their sponsors.

Big government is now working directly with big tech to silence the voices of conservative Americans.

Great idea! Maybe the government could helpfully keep a list of which citizens are allowed to speak so that they all know who to ban at once. Utopia awaits! https://t.co/IcxFAdTb8B

When, right before the 2020 election, Twitter banned all links to the NY Post reporting on the Biden archive, and FB announced through its life-long Dem operative that it would block the reporting -- all based on a CIA lie -- and journalists cheered, the dangers were obvious.

Limited government conservatism has no answer for the fused political-corporate leviathan. You aren't going to "get the government out of the economy" when corporations welcome and facilitate state intervention. Capital is the enemy, too https://t.co/FnqCijMSnE

Democrats have summoned tech executives to the Congress at least 4 times in the last year. The last time, they repeatedly and explicitly threatened regulatory and other legal punishment if they don't start censoring more: the content Dems regard as disinformation or "hate speech" https://t.co/2TV4mYCI2Z

If you don't find it deeply disturbing that the White House is "flagging" internet content that they deem "problematic" to their Facebook allies for removal, then you are definitionally an authoritarian. No other information is needed about you to know that.
— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) July 15, 2021

The White House is admitting that they're compiling lists of people who they claim are posting content they regard as "problematic" and that constitute "misinformation" and are demanding Facebook remove them. This is authoritarianism:https://t.co/gxrdUDblyS

Has the Biden WH also begun identifying books carried by Amazon that it regards as "problematic" and instructed Amazon to take them down and stop selling them immediately?

What's the difference between that and what it's doing with FB? What % of liberals would also support that?
— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) July 15, 2021

Wondering if @ACLU plans on weighing in at some point soon about the fact that the Biden WH today boasted it is flagging posts it regards as "problematic" and telling FB to take them down immediately. Seems like a relevant issue for them.https://t.co/KBMZpFiSzL pic.twitter.com/qbzGIErlmJ
