I'd also love to see someone organize a boycott or some kind of "pressure campaign" against all the corporations that advertise on Facebook. After all, this is de facto support of censorship, which should be repellant to Americans and American companies.
These same companies themselves boycott internet sites that do tell the truth or challenge the authorize narratives. Look at the advertisers at Zero Hedge or Citizens Free Press, which have huge audiences. Also, look at who does advertise on Tucker Carlson's show. About all I see is the My Pillow Man. What you don't see is Coca Cola, Chevrolet or any insurance or banking companies. Tucker has the No.1-rated prime-time news/commentary show in North America. His audience is mainstream, every-day Joes and Janes who buy products. But the corporations won't place any commercials. These are all tells about the groupthink of "club" members.
I'd also like to highlight the contrast between the approach of Twitter and Facebook to the approach/thinking of the founders of Substack. The latter did everything in their power to squash speech, debate and dissent. Substack did the exact opposite. I'd note that Substack's popularity is growing exponentially. This platform IS helping to change or challenge some false narratives. This is what our Founders had in mind when they created the First Amendment, which was supposed to provide the most important check on those with unlimited power.
Now what we need is for many more Americans to discover Substack.
Thanks for an excellent article. If scientific progress creates the best solutions, and if censorship hinders scientific progress, then the best solutions will not be found.
I have two questions here:
1. Is it possible that the leadership of those companies too, like a big part of the population, were hypnotised with fear of the virus and truly believed they were doing all they could to save lives?
2. What does this tell us about the dangers of monopoly? Networks like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn are a kind of natural monopolies; it would not work to have many Facebooks, many Twitters, the value of the network depends on it being a monopoly. Is it perhaps necessary to break up those companies and prevent such networks from being able to form?
Twitter still doesn't allow free speech. Despite appeals, I'm still in Twitter jail for asserting ivermectin is a human drug (such as for onchocerciasis). They claim that advocate suicide.
Hopefully others can wake up and see any out of the blue quick organized push across the global western news networks are LIES and PROPAGANDA. It's the trusted news initiative - we will repeat what the midwit government officials say - look it up.
Ukraine war full on propaganda from hour 1. Let's killl the young men of Ukraine so the USA can fight a proxy war and wash their money out of the tax base and into the hands of the global elite.
Killing Epstein in broad daylight in front of everyone.
The Big Lie - stealing an election in swing states in braod daylight in front of everyone
Carbon related Climate Change - there is far more fake models and less real science in climate change than Covid. Wake up they are already have plans to curb freedoms in Europe to prevent an energy crisis the green midwits created while trying to take power from the old school energy barons.
When the FTC, FCC, CDC, IRS, FBI, DHS, and every country in the world all have ongoing cases and investigation involving your company you get very cooperative.
The SM platforms are going to be considered victims.
Social media is the press on steroids regarding its reach but also its suppressive nature. How many letters to the editor never reach the print of page? How much news is never reported? How much news that should be front page is buried on page 14? How much important information is buried in those last 2 paragraphs that most people never read? Perhaps Bill can give us some insight into the mainstream media.
Algorithms, whether used by social media or internet search engines are just a refinement of what the mainstream press has done for several centuries. For example, if those not in favor of the passage of the constitution (so-called Anti-federalists) were allowed a fair chance by the press to have their arguments published and distributed, the constitution in its present form may not exist due to 9 states not approving thus requiring the calling of a second constitutional convention.
Ours is a vague supreme law of the land with reams of laws having no constitutional basis and people supposedly representing us acting without authority. I'm afraid that any trials that come from anything directly or indirectly related to the last 2 years will be at most a kangaroo court in nature but quite fitting for the banana republic we resemble.
And just to ride Bill's coattails and his excellent article, take a look at my post coming out Friday "Can Democracy Save The Republic" which deals with our mostly useless government figures.

Sharing.
Could not have said it better. Righteous indignation!
Remember that Zuckerberg started Fakebook in college to help grade women on their "ugliness." It was never based on any principles of decency.
What was begun in ugliness (of the creator) has grown in ugliness.
Oh wow. If we could hang Zuckerberg for crimes, that would be awesome.

Great article. I too will share. (Even post on FB too.)
Hold on my fellow boomer.
This ain't jazz
This ain't the blues
This ain't rock and roll
There ain't no artist
There ain't no Jerry Lee Lewis
Just nerds that wanted to get laid.

Truth.
Insightful article, Bill. Will be linking it tomorrow @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/
Fyi - UK under fowl lockdown due to bird flu. And MSM claiming it’s spreading to penguins and mammalian seals.
They’ll be telling us it’s spreading to humans.
Warning
It’s the next big thing.
Shocked uk column went on spreading the fear. ‘I’ve seen dead swans’
Well I live between two bird sanctuaries and I’ve seen no more than normal death rates (birds of prey. Even eagle pair seen).
But I’ve also seen new dark, black sky graffiti lines. The graphene Rods can deliver viral payloads. And began just after Truss stepped down.
Would UK use bioweapons against people? See Ukraine!
