If Martin Luther King Jr. Were Alive Today, Big Tech Would’ve Already Banned Him

Earlier this month, Donald Trump and 70,000 of his supporters were wiped off of Facebook and Twitter in a coordinated move by big tech censors. This move was largely praised by the left as the vitriol spewed by many of these folks, including the president, was inflammatory, offensive, and some of it even violent. While calls for unprovoked violence should never be tolerated, the idea of silencing people for their peaceful political views — even if they are really stupid — is never a good idea.
In fact, multiple anti-Trump folks were swept up in the censorship dragnet as well, including entirely peaceful folks.
Showing the slippery slope of widespread blanket censorship policies is the fact that just days after Trump and his Q base were deplatformed, a man who has devoted his entire life to peace and liberty, Dr. Ron Paul, was also censored. After news of his censorship began to make headlines, Facebook backtracked and claimed it was “a mistake.” But was it really?
In an email to the Free Thought Project, Dr. Paul said he wasn’t “exactly buying their explanation,” adding “It seems like Facebook is testing to see just how far they can go with banning anyone who doesn’t toe the establishment line.”
