Also, Elon Musk doesn't yet control Twitter so how exactly is it rational to blame some sort of "explosion of hate crimes" on his control of Twitter, which doesn't yet exist? You need Joy Reid's time-traveling hacker for that logic: https://t.co/0ohezA0HL2 — PolitiTweet.org

Dems have spent 18 months threatening billionaire-controlled platforms to censor in accordance with their demands. They have *zero* problems will control by tech, who donate huge $ to Dems. The problem begins only if they won't censor. https://t.co/KBMZpFiSzL — PolitiTweet.org

Remember when AOC publicly demanded Google and Apple remove from their stores, and thus destroy, a social media site devoted to free speech. They obeyed and Parler was destroyed. Google and Apple are controlled by billionaires but they censored for her: https://t.co/hgjes5Nf08 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Billionaires already control most social media monopolies and corporate news outlets but AOC seems to have no problem with that because they censor in accordance with the wishes of her party and ideology. It's only a problem now that this political censorship might stop. — PolitiTweet.org

Ethics and principles and all that aside, both Democrats and Republicans in Congress have an equal self-interest in defunding and banning this new DHS Ministry of Truth. Just unite and deny it funding. Congress is supposed to check Executive Branch abuses this way. — PolitiTweet.org

Even in 2002 -- when many were willing to swallow almost anything in the name of national security -- creation of the Dept of Homeland Security was controversial: even the word "Homeland" was seen as creepy. Imagine: "20 years from now, we will create a 'Disinformation Board.'" — PolitiTweet.org

Relax, everyone. This is who now determines Truth and Falsity for the Department of Homeland Security. — PolitiTweet.org

The #Resistance cartoon-activist whom the Biden Admin selected to head its dystopian Homeland Security "Disinformation Board" will provide a valuable service: showing how "disinformation" is a meaningless term that just means whatever those who wield power want it to mean. — PolitiTweet.org

@wiczipedia Do you still believe that the Hunter Biden archive is "Russian disinformation"? Do you believe that those who used social media to spread this false claim were guilty of spreading "disinformation" even though doing so helped Joe Biden win the election? — PolitiTweet.org

@OmarBaddar @mtracey I think I promoted that segment but either way I often praise @AymanM for doing what few others on that network or CNN will do. — PolitiTweet.org

3 hallmarks of ignorance in free speech debates: 1) Claiming that blocking someone on Twitter is inconsistent with free speech advocacy. 2) Conflating controls on what *adults* can say and hear with debates over what *schoolchildren* are taught. 3) "Fire in a crowded theater." — PolitiTweet.org

I learned from NBC that a study found that young women -- especially young women of color -- get massive harassment and abuse online. Now that CNN's White House Correspondent @JohnJHarwood mocked the mental health of @TulsiGabbard, his Dem followers are swarming her with abuse. https://t.co/VSjAC1zsQE — PolitiTweet.org

Just as corporate journalists are now the leading crusaders and activists for a regime of state/corporate censorship - never stop realizing how twisted that is - they also are the leading defenders of the US Security State, grateful that they have now created a Ministry of Truth: https://t.co/gWycOMPZ1R — PolitiTweet.org

@GuillermaNeblin I have, on Fox, heralded Ilhan Omar's opposition to the new War Terror on several occasions, but your insinuation that I'd be willing to say something here to 1.8 million people, but not on Fox, is hilarious. You think my tweets here are a secret that no conservatives see? — PolitiTweet.org

Of course Omar holds views anathema to many on the Right: opposing extreme, unconditional US aid to Israel and lots of woke dreck. She's not a conservative. But she's more willing to deviate from Party dogma than most in Congress, often for vital causes: https://t.co/ZIFubnOuri — PolitiTweet.org

I know she's been demonized by right-wing media to the point of caricature, but @IlhanMN is easily the most independent-minded and principled Squad member, arguably the most independent in the Dem caucus. Among other things, she: https://t.co/3dQyiAFVtH — PolitiTweet.org

The 10 pm show on Fox also frequently airs questioning and skepticism about the increasingly dangerous US participation in the war in Ukraine, but other than that, it's virtually impossible to hear on corporate TV. With rare exceptions, CNN and MSNBC simply do not air dissent. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

If you spent the weeks before the 2020 election spreading and ratifying the CIA lie that the Biden family emails were "Russian disinformation," and then never apologized or retracted it, you have *zero* credibility to lament "disinformation." You are a disinformation agent. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The media and political figures who most flamboyantly claim to combat "disinformation" with censorship are always those who peddle disinformation most aggressively, casually and destructively. Having @wiczipedia run this DHS program would be like having David Frum run the Hague. — PolitiTweet.org
