As Elon Musk continues to try and bring fairness, liberty, and free speech to Twitter, a new report finds that the social media giant suspends Republicans at nearly five times the rate that they punish Democrats.
It’s all just more proof that Big Tech really only smashed the free speech of people on the right. It’s just more proof that Big Tech is un-American to its core.
Per Big League Politics:
According to the study, 9,000 politically active Twitter users, made up of 50% Republican and 50% Democrat accounts, shared election hashtags in October 2020. 35.6% of the Republican users were suspended, while just 7.7% of the Democrat users were suspended throughout a sixth month period.
Naturally, the study doesn’t use this as proof that Big Tech is biased. Instead, it falsely uses this study as “proof” that Republicans are evil.
Catch this circular logic…
Big Tech decides that Republicans are “purveyors of misinformation.”
Big Tech then creates groups made up of left wingers that they label “fact checkers” who will only agree with the left.
Big Tech’s “fact checkers” fulfill their directed purpose and unsurprisingly determine that all conservatives and Republicans are “purveyors of misinformation.”
Big Tech then uses that “fact checking” to suspend people on the right.
Convenient, eh?
