Censorship in America

For John, BLUF:  Social Media is becoming an American version of China's Social Credit system, with censorship of unwoke ideas being used liberally.  Perhaps the most celebrated was Mr Hunter Biden's misplaced laptop, just before last November's Election.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Mike Lindell:  Free, Clean Speech Social Media Site Set to Launch Monday

From The Epoch Times, by Reporter Masooma Haq, 15 April 2021.

Here is the lede plus two:

MyPillow’s Mike Lindell announced on April 15 that his new social media platform called “Frank,” with the mission of providing a place for free speech as laid out in the U.S. Constitution, will launch on April 19.

In a video statement, Lindell said he’s taken steps to make sure the site is most secure, with his own servers, and will not be subject to censorship on the whims of big tech companies such as Amazon and Google.

“And we are going to get our voice of free speech out there,” Lindell said. “On Monday morning at 9 a.m., we’re going to have the biggest launch. … I call it a Frank-a-thon.”

With Big Tech censoring news items in ways that appear to be censorship of conservative or liberal ideas and news items, there is a desire out there for alternative outlets for people's ideas.  Government censorship and sanctions seems not to be the solution.  Perhaps the free market is the solution.

Good luck to Mr Mike Lindell.
