Censorship and election meddling: if Big Tech acts like a partisan publisher, no more protection as a neutral public platform!

This is undoubtedly what's behind social media giants Google, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter censoring conservative content they deem "violates our user agreements" on the shear basis of political disagreement, while continuing to allow liberal discrediting of said conservative positions as they're being segregated and silenced in realtime! Questionable, indeterminate occurrences should have open dialogue with opposing viewpoints up for discussion and debate. Nope, that's not the liberal way. Instead, there is an obvious prejudice being practiced by hypocritical Big Tech alongside the rest of the Democratic-leaning MSM, who stymie the very democracy they claim to celebrate.
Of course, these social media titans distanced themselves from their press compadres in the early days, but as they surpassed the popularity of the published papers, their biases have trended left and really ramped up, particularly in these Trump years, with an absurd level of hypocrisy. Just check out this supposed analogy...
The social media giants are stuck in a vise as both Democrats and the Trump campaign look for an edge by accusing the platforms of favoring the other side.

On one side are Democrats, who are demanding that Facebook and Twitter censor President Trump and his campaign. ...

On the other end are Trump and Republicans, who have long held that conservative voices are being suppressed by Silicon Valley liberals reacting to elite media outrage at the president and his supporters.
That all sounds like a singular agenda! There's no vise; only a one-sided approach: Dems censoring, and Repubs calling them out for censoring! But somehow we're supposed to see that as two differing points of view. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to see through that ridiculousness...just a little bit of common sense.
But let's fast forward to this election year and just take the latest controversies swirling about: the media assault and bureacratic clampdown on hydroxychloroquine's success, the Tech/Media censorship of an investigative documentary that calls into question Big Gov plans surrounding the pandemic, the MSM silencing of Obamagate's silent coup against President Trump, and now media's latest acceptance of voter fraud through ballot harvesting via vote-by-mail efforts (be sure to check out Kayleigh's THREAD, it's extensive!)...

These all contribute to Big Tech's obvious double-standard:


By Thursday morning, President Trump was DONE with the social media undermining of any and all conservative opinions expressed (or any semblance of law and order...of, by and for the People, mind you!), submitting a general disclaimer of his own to the conglomerates...
Acting on a suggestion that was offered up at least a year ago, President Trump signed an executive order stripping these tech entities of their immunity under section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, as they're clearly acting like partisan publishers, instead of neutral public platforms, thus participating in flagrant election meddling. BRAVO!
The very public forums these social media giants provide cannot be solely utilized as another partisan tool for one political party. The true fraud and abuse being promoted by one side, while silencing the other, would be catastrophic to our great republic, let alone our free speech rights.

Footnote: I had to look up the vast majority of these links through Bing...Google's algorithms generally led to the opposite of my searches among primarily left-leaning sources, of course!
