There's too much imagined persecution about the policies legislated by companies being misunderstood and misdirected to being attributed to the various layers of democratic governments in some hero fantasy of oppression.
It's not the policies of companies that was responsible for the worst of the censorship. People assumed it was, or that bias on the part of twitter employees played a bigger part, but that wasn't the case. It was the government involving themselves in the censoring of legal speech. It was your tax dollars being used to protect the government from criticism.
Full text from the complete tweet, with some of the more political elements reworded. Changes denoted in bold italics. Please see full tweet for the original post:
Recently, independent journalists @mtaibbi @shellenberger @bariweiss have been exposing a massive censorship operation by the US government to control content on social media and eliminate any dissenting voices. Have you read their reporting? Or are you listening to the embarrassed, compromised hacks from the media that are covering their tracks? Could be the most important story related to our personal freedoms in the US and it’s being buried. Mainstream media have not only ignored the story but now attack the journalists, effectively serving as a thuggish censorship arm of the government. Meanwhile
several people in government have threatend journalist Matt Taibbi with jail time. What an embarrassing, shameful time for
those in the government doing this and the ‘free’ press. You are losing any shred of credibility you had, you fucking fools.
Oh, and by the way #FreeAssange
