One employee of large media corporations after the next are coming forward to make explicit how much they crave centralized censorship and fear free speech. Let them keep this mask off, to display their hideous reality for all to see: — PolitiTweet.org

That's because "free speech" in establishment liberal discourse is now regarded as a right-wing value. That's what happened with @rumblevideo: believes in free speech, therefore is "right-wing." They don't realize how revealing this is: it shows *censorship* is a liberal value. — PolitiTweet.org

A new euphemism for centralized corporate/state censorship was just emitted by @JoyAnnReid and @AnandWrites. Out: "content moderation" In: "equitable speech" — PolitiTweet.org

The modern-day Democratic Party: A neocon pundit, beloved by the Biden WH, cheering as Dems decide not to run their own candidate but instead unite behind a CIA operative during the Bush/Cheney War on Terror who stiffed his campaign vendors for almost $700,000. Perfect avatar. — PolitiTweet.org

Again, billionaires already controlled social media -- and large media corporations and both parties -- long before @ElonMusk bought Twitter. If you want to know the real reason @SenMarkey is angry, listen to what he said in late 2020 to tech CEOs: https://t.co/j64rCdZ82L — PolitiTweet.org

RT @NoahCarl90: It's tragic. With $44 billion, Elon Musk could have armed literally millions of moderate rebels in the Middle East. — PolitiTweet.org

Can someone tell me what was revealed by the WPost about the person behind @libsoftiktok that was in the public interest or aided understanding? She's a Jewish woman, works as a real estate agent, lives in Brooklyn. Wow, so illuminating. It wasn't journalism but punishment. — PolitiTweet.org

@buhlreports A journalist who is an employee of a large media corporation and whose journalism is controlled by the strictures and limitations of their corporate bosses and management. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Corporate journalists can do anything they want to private citizens: unveil their identities, dig up and publish dirt about their lives, stalk their relatives, ruin their reputations. But nobody can publicly criticize corporate journalists for doing that. That's the game here. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The rules: -- Splashing a private citizen's name, work address, and religion all over the Bezos-owned Washington Post, and banging on the doors of their relatives: heroic. -- Splashing the name of a powerful media figure on a billboard or a cable show: evil, vile murderous. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It was completely predictable -- and indeed, many predicted -- that the Only Real Victim™ of the doxing of @LibsofTikTok by @TaylorLorenz and @washingtonpost would be... Taylor Lorenz. The outcome is always that this wealthy, powerful media figure who ruins lives is the victim. https://t.co/UgnT6eFYSK — PolitiTweet.org

@TVietor08 There are many countries being destroyed by unjust wars. I haven't seen any Yemeni or Ethiopian flags. I don't recall ever seeing Afghan, Iraqi, Libyan or Syrian flags in the US when it was bombing there. The point isn't empathy is bad; it's how selective and propagandistic it is — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The people who claim most flamboyantly to be "fighting fascism" and to save democracy are the same people who crave **a union of state and corporate power** to silence their enemies and censor ideas they dislike -- without the slightest self-awareness of the tension: https://t.co/GyJZJgzx9Q — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In mainstream liberal culture, there is not even a pretense any longer of believing in "free speech," not even lip service paid to it. It's increasingly vilified as an inherently fascist and racist concept, which is why -- as laughable as this is -- it's drearily common. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JimMorrison96 @JuniorMinton @SaeenDiddyCombs You mean the platforms that banned Trump, censored the reporting on the Hunter Biden emails, have de-platformed conservatives from Alex Jones to Dan Bongino, allow people to say the 2016 election was stolen but not the 2020 election? What weird behavior for "right-wing websites" — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JuniorMinton @SaeenDiddyCombs That's bullshit. Liberals have been happy with FB and Google because they've been censoring heavily and increasingly in support of the Dem Party. The pre-election Hunter Biden email censorship was just one example. Dems' discontent with them is they don't censor even more. — PolitiTweet.org

@SaeenDiddyCombs What you attributed to me is not my view. This is my view: https://t.co/afisYC7cHq — PolitiTweet.org

Every person who speaks even a bit independently and who challenges liberal orthodoxies will be the target of a hit piece by @TheDailyBeast the moment they acquire even minimal influence. @KimIversenShow has become very popular but doesn't submit to liberal pieties. Therefore: — PolitiTweet.org

One of the most important weapons wielded by both corporate media and their US security state allies is internet censorship. It not only empowers them to silence dissent but, more importantly, enables imposition of a closed propaganda system. Whatever threatens it fosters panic: — PolitiTweet.org

Secretary of State Blinken and Defense Secretary Austin visited Kyiv yesterday to meet with their proxy war partners. Russian missiles landed not all that far. What would have happened had a wayward one struck where they were? So many of the worst wars happened unintentionally. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Virtually every week, Biden announces new massive aid of cash and weapons to Ukraine. Every week, US/NATO announce greater involvement that, weeks earlier, was deemed unthinkable. It's a full-on proxy war. The risks are mind-boggling. What is being achieved that warrants this? https://t.co/V2cQoFcvca — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Whatever your views on the moral dimensions of this war, it's hard to deny this is the most dangerous moment in US foreign policy in two decades. Every week, US/NATO involvement in the war intensifies, as Russia explicitly warns of nuclear war. For what? https://t.co/K8y8mogOIH — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I'm currently in a conservative enclave in the US. There are far more Ukrainian flags -- on home rooftops, in store entrances -- than US flags. Virtually every powerful media and state institution in the West have been united in lockstep messaging and the results are stunning — PolitiTweet.org

According to @ACLU Exec. Dir Anthony Romero, Musk is "an ACLU card-carrying member and one of our most significant supporters." Since it's unlikely his motive is their new fixation on trans issues, does this tell us anything about the authenticity of his belief in free speech? — PolitiTweet.org

@jstephenson84 @andrewghelms I'll try this one last time. I accepted long ago that, given varying brain capabilities, it's not possible to get all people to process even simple points. Katie was mocking the idea that alternatives to Twitter-with-Musk are better. I've been doing the same for weeks. — PolitiTweet.org
