It is widely acknowledged that
Facebook and Google both backed both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in
the last two presidential elections.
Obama’s former campaign director openly admitted Facebook was “on our side” during the 2012 campaign.
Wikileaks emails also reveal that Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg wanted Hillary Clinton to win “badly” and visited her multiple times.
The Podesta emails also prove “a
relationship with Schmidt dating back to at least 2008 and show that
Google loaned its jet to members of Clinton’s campaign staff on several
occasions.”
It is also documented that
there are at least 45 Facebook employees who, “had previously worked or
volunteered with the Hillary campaigns, the Obama campaigns, or the
Obama White House and are now employed by Facebook, Facebook-owned
companies, or the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative.”
These political connections demolish
the “it’s just a private company” argument and they also illustrate how
the silencing of conservatives is a deliberate effort to help the
Democrats’ election prospects.
A leaked internal Facebook message
board post also revealed how conservatives within the company have
become irate at its censorious nature.
“We are a political monoculture that’s
intolerant of different views,” said the post. “We claim to welcome all
perspectives, but are quick to attack — often in mobs — anyone who
presents a view that appears to be in opposition to left-leaning
ideology.”
While CNN claims that
censorship of conservatives is a conspiracy theory and that President
Trump’s claim that Big Tech silencing independent voices is “false,” the
multitude of evidence suggests otherwise.
Just look at the sheer number of
right-leaning commentators, political candidates and news outlets that
have been hit with bans, suspensions or other censorship.
