Prison-Style #FreeSpeech #Censorship Is Coming for the Rest of Us
#US government wants to make it illegal to possess literature it deems dangerous — a familiar tactic incarcerated
This includes claiming antiestablishment ideologies and literature must be punished because they pose nebulous risks to gov-approved political views. It also includes logical next step: criminalizing efforts to keep authorities from finding out one holds those ideologies or reads that literature

It's weird that we're fine with such laws in light of the #FreeSpeech 1A, but refuse to do so re #BigPharma while most other countries do ban them. Do libertarians think there should be no laws re #gambling?

RT: @sunraysunray Right on. A good place to start would be banning all radio and TV advertisements for sports betting. Treat FanDuel like Marlboro.

#Youtube isn't even being candid about #shadowbanning: I still keep getting notifications about likes on my comments, however the likes don't show on the comment, and this can't go up in rankings.

This isn't even the first time. It's just happening in plain sight now, they couldn't even be bothered to scrub notifications from the past.

These platforms are not about #freespeech, they're just doing the bidding of special interest groups that fund #USA politicians.
