@dvijmankad This is always the justification for censorship. When Parler was destroyed, they said it was justified because it was used for 1/6 planning. Far more 1/6 planning was done on FB and YT - should those sites be banned? Those sites also have many violent and illegal uses. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@mikenoe That's all bullshit. That's exactly what Parler did. They said: OK, we think Big Tech repression is dangerous, so we'll build our own free speech platform. When it became #1, AOC and others demanded Google, Apple and Amazon destroy it, and they did. https://t.co/qD9OdwlPbV — PolitiTweet.org

@anzu_is_online Because I don't just work to help your faction but instead apply principles universally, which drives simpletons like you mad or at least leaves you with major confusion. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Do you see the climate in which we're now living? Not just liberals but large sectors of the left decided that they trust tech billionaires and employees of large media corporations to dictate what can and cannot be said, who can and cannot be heard. Who thinks this is good?? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This went *way beyond* deleting a post or a Twitter banning. Like the destruction of Parler, it was a major escalation in internet censorship. Now, one article from liberal media employees - calling someone "fascist" or "dangerous" or whatever - gets the entire site banished. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The CEO of Cloudflare, a major company, flamboyantly insisted he wouldn't capitulate to demands to banish KiwiFarms from the internet given the dangers of trifling with the internet's infrastructure that way. 24 hours after an NBC article from some dweeb, he relented and obeyed. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And this statement from Carnegie Mellon is pathetic. The only view of an academic institution should be: professors enjoy full academic freedom, period. But the climate now demands this kind of institutional cowardice: everyone constantly denouncing to remain in Good Standing. https://t.co/Xhwai0eL7r — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is the prevailing repressive climate constructed by the consortium of power centers I mentioned Tuesday, led by "journalists" whose only real function is to enforce institutional orthodoxies by banning any dissent from them. It will come for everyone except Good Liberals. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Whatever one's view on this tweet, it very obviously violated no Twitter rules. Its only sin was it fell outside of what was deemed to be the limits of acceptable views about an historical event. Criticizing it was therefore insufficient. It had to be institutionally banished. — PolitiTweet.org

@mb_schroeder @_thommy I realize everyone who doesn't accept the CNN/WPost view of the Trump era, or who opposes Big Tech censorship, is now automatically branded "right-wing," but Russell Brand is a life-long socialist and ardent Corbyn supporter with a large Rumble following: https://t.co/S2aRd7liAs — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@_thommy I said the platform is ideologically neutral, meaning it welcomes people of all political leanings -- or who have none -- equally, with the same commitment to protect free speech. And there are many popular voices there that aren't remotely "right-wing," with many more coming. — PolitiTweet.org

@RafaelBadotti To postando notícias quando tenho alguma coisa pra relatar. A última foi isso: https://t.co/r5rB4grjdM — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There are already several big-name, extremely independent-minded and heterodox hosts who are signed, with several more coming. It will be a very formidable line-up with financing on par with cable news shows. It's an opportunity to really innovate: https://t.co/8rNHuBRtxn — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

More details here. Under the noses of corporate media, most of which is dying with a few exceptions (NYT/WSJ/Fox), Rumble has a massive influx of major voices - including some of the biggest in culture and entertainment - fleeing Big Tech repression. https://t.co/BsvsmVhtNC — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I'm incredibly excited about this new show. Rumble is an ideologically-neutral free speech platform, not a conservative platform, but that's just a way corporate media tries to malign it. It has explosive growth and a very diverse, young audience. More details when appropriate: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Heap scorn on the corporate outlets and their deceitful, pro-censorship employees abusing the "journalist" label. Read them with full skepticism, or just ignore them. Support outlets and platforms that want to protect free inquiry and the right of dissent, not rob you of it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The worst of all - the most repugnant and despicable - are those calling themselves "journalists" while doing the opposite of what that term implies: they serve rather than challenge power, they deceive rather than inform, they demand censorship rather than free and open inquiry. https://t.co/s4ocFn60u3 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Above all, stay focused on who your real enemies are. They're not your neighbors who have been deceived into supporting the wrong party or wrong ideology. They are victims of the repression, which is all about maintaining a closed system of propaganda that can't be challenged. https://t.co/B4DfgVSROB — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I'm going to remain detached until the health crisis in our family is resolved. But internet freedom and free speech are not ancillary causes. They are central. This was the core cause of the Snowden reporting. Without a free internet and free speech, dissent is an illusion. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

As I've often said, the media outlets screaming most loudly about "disinformation" are the ones that spread it most frequently, casually and destructively (NBC/CNN/WPost, etc). It's equally true of those now claiming to fight "fascism": real repression comes *from them.* https://t.co/jhXWJ8AN3e — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

For more than a month, I've removed myself from the news cycle and The Discourse because my only priority right now is my family, my kids and my husband's health. But distance brings clarity. This censorship mania consuming Western liberals is deeply dangerous -- and growing. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The measure of societal freedom is not how servants of power are treated: they're always left alone or rewarded. The key metric is how dissidents are treated. Now, they are imprisoned (Assange), exiled (Snowden) and, above all, silenced by corporate/state power (dissidents). https://t.co/5AojVGV9OB — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In even the most despotic nations, the banal, conformist citizen thinks they're free. As Rosa Luxemburg said: "he who does not move, does not feel his chains." Of course the Chris Hayes's and Don Lemon's think this is all absurd: Good Liberals threaten nobody and thus flourish. https://t.co/jvKn0qmsZy — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's not melodrama or hyperbole to say: what we have is a war in the West, a war over whether the internet will be free, over whether dissent will be allowed, over whether we will live in the closed propaganda system our elites claim The Bad Countries™ impose. It's no different. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It is hard to overstate how much pressure is now brought to bear by liberal censors on these free speech platforms, especially Rumble. Their vendors are threatened. Their hosting companies targeted. They have accounts cancelled and firms refusing to deal with them. It's a regime. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

But as these free speech platforms grow and become a threat, the efforts to crush them also grow – exactly as @AOC, other Dems and their corporate media allies successfully demanded Google, Apple and Amazon destroy Parler when it became the single most-popular app in the country. https://t.co/HFRVSVDZOJ — PolitiTweet.org
