The highest value in liberal culture is censorship. They prattle on endlessly about protecting the sanctity of democracy when their whole plan is to control and suppress the free flow of information so they have a monopoly on discourse -- like they did before the 2020 election. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

How anyone can believe US government officials like @SecBlinken when they claim they're motivated by a desire to defend democracy and fight tyranny --- when the reality of what they do and who they are is below -- is one of life's greatest mysteries. Propaganda is potent: — PolitiTweet.org

@ThrowawayGaming People have been fighting about school curriculum -- what it should and shouldn't be allowed to include -- for decades. https://t.co/DVuNGxKrOU — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Just a few years ago the ACLU, consistent with an actual civil liberties agenda, heralded the importance of transparency in school curriculum debates, but -- as no longer needs to be pointed out -- that was a totally different ACLU: https://t.co/FfNJXkjp4T — PolitiTweet.org

@MarcelaMaeve Sim, é muito raro nos EUA (ou Reino Unido) ver políticos trocando de partido, então é sempre interessante para mim aqui no Brasil observar as reações muito diferentes que isso pode provocar. Algumas pessoas parecem ter licença para fazê-lo e outras não. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Uma coisa que me interessa na política brasileira é o tratamento bem diferenciado dado aos políticos quando anunciam que vão trocar de partido. Observar a reação díspar -- às vezes dentro do mesmo partido --, revela muito sobre valores e crenças sobre diferentes tipos de pessoas. — PolitiTweet.org

@Bubba_BarBQ @gugachacra Se você fizer acusações graves, deve estar preparado para fornecer evidências, não apenas dizer a alguém para encontrá-las no Google. Conheço muito bem a situação e você inventou essa afirmação. — PolitiTweet.org

Why is this extremely basic yet important point so rarely heard in US corporate media discourse? https://t.co/frSekaJJ0J — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

According to the CNN/NBC axis, you as an American have 2 choices and 2 choices only: (1) Do everything possible to ensure that the Democratic Party wins the 2022 midterm election, or (2) Watch as democracy dies and a fascist takeover rules America. Govern yourselves accordingly. — PolitiTweet.org

The worst and most unjustifiable assault on press freedom in the west -- by far -- continues, as the US and UK continue to plot to keep one the planet's most consequential journalists in a cage despite the unanimous protests of press freedom and civil liberties groups. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Polling data consistently shows that a huge segment of non-voters *opt* not to vote due to perceptions of the emptiness of their choices and the political system, not due to obstacles placed in their way. But this is narrative-negating, and thus ignored. https://t.co/TAgsLB5tbb — PolitiTweet.org

@Imyellinganyway Evidently a bipartisan group of lawmakers believe that this kind of abuse of monopolistic power -- using integration to punish and suppress competitors -- is serious enough to legislate against it, and Big Tech believes it's valuable enough to spend huge lobbyist money to protect — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Imyellinganyway I'm sorry that I suggested Google engaged in nefarious behavior. I know how much leftist-posers get upset when Big Tech is maligned. My apologies. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@davidbelle_ Not sure why people are so proud of their ignorance instead of just finding out what something is. It's almost like you'd have to work to miss all this. But if you like being captive to Google, that's your right. https://t.co/gp2XJJbxY4 — PolitiTweet.org

@UrielEpshtein @sullydish @TuckerCarlson You're missing everything, starting with the fact that you're absolutely fabricating the claim that I have ever expressed or even implied support of any kind for a Russian incursion into Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@wischj Yes, for sure there should be more enforcement of existing anti-trust laws, but this specific form of market discrimination isn't quite addressed by existing law for reasons @matthewstoller and others could explain better. — PolitiTweet.org

@JonAble4 It could if it's the by-product of government threats and coercion. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This bill would prevent some of the worst anti-trust abuses of Google, which, for instance, suppresses Rumble videos in its Google search results as punishment for competing with its YouTube. That's why the House Anti-Trust Comm considers them monopolies. https://t.co/28O8cutqKs — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Note that the standard liberal defense of Big Tech censorship is they're private corporations that can do what they want (classic libertarianism). But the core premise of this bipartisan approach is that these aren't mere companies but *monopolies,* and thus must be restrained. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The anti-trust bill from Amy Klobuchar that passed Senate Judiciary by 16-6 -- with 5 GOP members including @HawleyMO and @tedcruz voting YES -- is a big step in preventing Big Tech from abusing its monopoly powers. This was an interesting exchange: https://t.co/uk7JCMN3cl — PolitiTweet.org
