Democrats Now Planning Total Internet Censorship

Yoel Roth, a fervently anti-Trump former Twitter employee who temporarily served as the platform’s top censor, has written an essay for the NY Times describing how a combination of corporate interests and regulators might block Elon Musk from completely returning free expression on the website.

Roth, who temporarily managed Twitter’s infamous “Trust & Safety” dept. — in charge of the company’s solid and broad censoring measures — explained the establishment’s blueprint for restricting any platform that tries to advance toward free expression on its own in the article.

Roth offered a route for limiting censorship that would be recognizable to users of several social networks, such as Parler and Gab, that aimed to give members with a free speech environment – specifically, blacklisting by Google and Apple’s app markets.

According to the New York Times:

“Failure to follow Apple’s and Google’s criteria would be disastrous, jeopardizing Twitter’s exclusion from their app stores and making Twitter’s services more difficult to obtain for billions of potential users. This gives Google and Apple significant influence over Twitter’s actions.”

Roth also emphasized the authority of state regulators. In addition to mentioning European regulators, who can officially demand sites to remove “hate speech” and other unlawful content, he also mentions US entities such as the FTC. Despite the fact that the First Amendment prohibits the government from regulating speech in the United States, the Biden admin. has regularly relied on social media corporations to remove information.

“Regulators have a wide range of instruments at their disposal to impose their will on Twitter and Mr. Musk. Penalties for failing to comply with Europe’s Digital Services Act might amount to up to 6% of the company’s yearly sales. In the U.S., the F.T.C. has demonstrated an increased readiness to levy substantial fines for non-compliance with its rulings (such as the $5 billion fine issued on Facebook in 2019). In other critical countries for Twitter, like India, in-country employees face personal harassment and arrest if their companies fail to follow local directives. Even a Musk-led Twitter will have difficulty overcoming these limitations.”

Roth’s article provides a useful outline of the censorship machinery that the establishment has built over the last half-decade to guarantee that free speech no longer thrives online. Roth contends that if marketers fail to limit Musk, regulators and app stores would fill the void.
