And yes, of course I wish CNN and NBC/MSNBC would cover stories like these but they don't because: 1) They employ US Security State operatives and thus serve as spokespeople not critics. 2) Dems love *state* control of the internet and DHS/CIA/FBI so their audience would revolt https://t.co/St4FL2zBUb — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

As I noted on Fox, Chomsky often says: "Even Herman Goering was in favor of free speech for those he agreed with." All these episodes - DHS appointing that deranged #Resistance fanatic as "disinformation czar" - are because US Govt wants the power to decree Truth and Falsity: https://t.co/3auPF1yvBx — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I also spoke last night on Fox -- in the context of the great reporting by @lhfang and @kenklippenstein showing how the US Security State is dictating to Big Tech what to censor -- how Dems like @SenatorDurbin are trying to re-define "free speech" so they can wield this power. https://t.co/KGexgDwoK3 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

So often, Big Tech -- and Hollywood -- will change or repress content at the direction of China or Saudi Arabia, etc. That's why this fight Rumble has decided to wage - they'd rather be banned in France than be told by French politicians what they can and can't air - is so vital. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

If some little wannabe tyrant in France can now dictate to US social media sites who can and can't be heard, then so can Iran, China, Russia, or whatever country you think is most Bad. Should Iran or Russia be able to force US sites to ban anti-government outlets or dissidents? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Remember the liberal view on censorship from the 1980s? "If you don't like it, turn the channel?" If you don't like RT, you don't have to watch. Why would you want states to have the power to force sites to remove news outlets disliked by those leaders? https://t.co/tkVOiiRQlI — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Here's a despotic French minister, @jnbarrot, *boasting* of how he's trying to force Rumble to remove outlets which EU has banned. Why would a French citizen want their leaders empowered to decide what news they can and can't hear? Either way, keep that repression in the EU: https://t.co/Y3VVwQovYS — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I spoke last night on Fox about a woefully under-covered story: The EU made it *illegal* for any platform to air RT or other Russian media. Now France is demanding US platforms, such as Rumble, obey this and remove RT. Rumble refused, defending its right to air what it wants: https://t.co/4rBHe0Hp1Q — PolitiTweet.org

@SeanKLeonard @JamisenEtzel @donmoyn Your inability to understand the most basic train of logical reasoning is astounding. You purposely screen-shot it to hide the context: it's Chait blaming Tucker for the Buffalo shooting spree. So I was used Chait's faulty reasoning by applying it to him: https://t.co/Ga6oZ4HaKe — PolitiTweet.org

By the way, one day after this massive story about the US Govt directing Big Tech censorship was published by a Dem-friendly site, with a popular left-wing figure as one of the reporters, neither CNN nor MSNBC invited them on, and no Dem politician has mentioned it. Why is this? https://t.co/xnwQUGjETp — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JamisenEtzel @donmoyn Yes. That's why its idiocy of highest order to try to exploit these lone wolf violent attacks clearly driven by mental illness and blame whatever political ideology they most recently consumed. Unless you think Bernie and Maddow are responsible for Steve Scalise almost dying. — PolitiTweet.org

Also, few things are more darkly hilarious than Dems pretending to be so deeply concerned about Musk's involvement with Saudis when it's the US Government that is single-handedly responsible for propping up the Saudi regime with arms and surveillance tech https://t.co/ff3W2vZvon — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

2015, BBC: "Meet Twitter's second biggest shareholder, Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal" If DC Dems want an excuse to investigate Musk's purchase of Twitter on "national security grounds" because he won't censor for them, they'll need a better excuse. https://t.co/K8g2GJCOeE — PolitiTweet.org

One day after a major story from @lhfang and @kenklippenstein proving the US Govt and Security State are directing Big Tech on what to censor, the #2 Senate Dem tries to radically restrict what "free speech" means in a way that contradicts all 1A caselaw: https://t.co/gzFnNaKAlQ — PolitiTweet.org

@donmoyn You're doing what the American Right did throughout the War on Terror. Every time some clearly mentally unwell young Muslim committed violence, they insisted it was because of the evil ideology and religion he was fed, purposely ignoring every nuance: https://t.co/pf9rzTTiJb https://t.co/Kb0UxJ30jq — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@donmoyn You tried to murder Steve Scalise and never once apologized for it. One of the people who listens to you and your liberal friends tried to assassinate Brett Kavanaugh and you took no responsibility. You just keep feeding people your violence-inciting attacks. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Tail_boi What you're doing is called "whataboutism," a notorious tactic invented by the Russians. "Oh fine, so Pentagon officials, CIA, DHS, the large media corporations lie to us. But what about that conservative cable host?? He does, too." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The US corporate press is trying to train Americans to believe the first and most solemn duty of citizenship is instantly accept whatever institutions of authority tell you to believe. No wanting to see evidence, no noting contradictions: just happily recite what you're told. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

To this very day, you can read articles in liberal corporate outlets branding as "conspiracy theorists" anyone asking about Nuland's comments - same for those who questioned claims about COVID vaccine efficacy and mask mandates, or *any* claim that the US Security State issues. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Any "journalist" should have immediately demanded answers about what Nuland meant: what bio labs in Ukraine were so dangerous they couldn't fall into Russian hands? Instead, most did the opposite: demonized as mentally ill anyone who didn't instantly accept Pentagon denials. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Just as a reminder: before anyone of prominence was talking about "bio labs in Ukraine," here's what Victoria Nuland -- the neocon official in charge of Ukraine for the Biden State Dept -- said to the Senate when questioned by a very friendly Marco Rubio: https://t.co/aqthvmknlt — PolitiTweet.org

@anarchistcity You're absolutely lying. Literally every claim you just made is a lie. The joys of anonymity. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@LisaSpiro6 Yes, that's precisely why I don't endorse any and demand conclusive evidence of those pushing them before believing them (such as the conspiracy that Russia had seized power over the US through clandestine blackmail over Trump, the conspiracy that dominated the Trump era). — PolitiTweet.org
