This cuts both ways.

Big Tech algorithms manipulate people equally depending on what info we feed them and they've been soft-peddling stuff radicalizing Republicans like blatantly false Trump ads and QAnon/pizzagate and white supremacist propaganda for a long time.

They've largely been letting the right run around and do whatever they want on their platforms. They want their ad revenue, too.

 
Yeah...the fbi is such a group of liberals.  
 


This morning, we received more than 30 pages of material from the FBI illustrating a remarkable disparity in its treatment of its employees: Five employees, the documents show, have been disciplined for private communications using government devices in which they have criticized President Trump.

Because there's a new sheriff in town and social media is more wide spread. 

Outside the gov people get fired for criticizing the left every week.  The 1st amendment does not apply to most private businesses.  It's hard to find an example in the other direction, especially not with big companies.

Where does Cawthorn say he was censored.

Actual censorship
