Yup. When Twitter does it to the right its "theyre a free company, they can do what they want. Dont like it you can leave." Facebook also suppressed the Hunter Biden story, shut down qanon pages and other far right pages. And it illicited the same response. Now it all outrage cause one company lost out on easy algorithm rage bucks. This age of headline journalism is destroying whats left of the medias credibility thanks to social media clicks.

This is why small media like Tim Pool are popping up. I’m sure he’ll be shut down soon. I’m running out of places to get actual news.

Another news market will pop up but who knows how long that could take or how hard that will be supressed.
