Free markets and technology can works wonders. From Mark Nestmann at lewrockwell.com:
The war on free speech is heating up. Since I last wrote about this topic in February, mainstream social media portals have been falling over themselves to remove controversial – mainly but not exclusively right-wing – content.
In March, Facebook blocked all content from ZeroHedge.com. It later reversed the move, but in the meantime, the social media giant announced a new policy to remove what it calls “white nationalist” content. That move was a response to the gunman who murdered 50 people at two mosques in New Zealand and live-streamed the events on Facebook.
YouTube has introduced a new policy of disabling comments on videos featuring minors. It also deleted millions of existing comments. And after an avalanche of negative reviews about the new Captain Marvel movie, Rotten Tomatoes announced that it would prohibit comments prior to a movie’s release.
