Trump Ban Reinforces Rush’s Comparison of Facebook to the ChiComs
< < Go Back
KEN: Many of us have been saying it for a while that free speech is dead. I know that’s a very drastic comment, and I know that, you know, people who have not been banned, libeled, slandered, censored, targeted, abused, fired, et cetera, deplatformed… If you don’t fall into that category — if you’re just minding your own business driving around with an “I’m with Her” sticker on your car or a Biden-Harris sticker — maybe you don’t even care about free speech.
But today the oversight board of Facebook, which is… This is something else that people in this audience… You know this ’cause you know history and you listen to Rush, and he knows history. Over the years, oversight boards and committees and bureaus — those are all groups of people, unelected, and those are… That’s the foundation of Big Government. It’s the foundation of communism. It’s the foundation of the left.
It’s very Soviet Union when you say, “We’re gonna take… We’re gonna take what you said and we’re gonna let the board decide.” What? (summarized) “The Facebook oversight board ruled to uphold Facebook’s decision to suspend former President Donald Trump from Facebook and Instagram, but the board said indefinite time frame of suspension not necessarily appropriate.”
So Facebook passed the buck to the board, and then the board passed the buck back to Facebook. So here we are with the 45th president of the United States of America still banned from Facebook and Instagram.
However, the president of Syria is there. He has a page if you’d like to follow some of his illegal activities. I think he has a quarter million followers. Meanwhile, the smaller potatoes like me or you, just American citizens… I’ve been restricted. This is my third go around. I am still restricted. If I click on my Facebook account now, Ken Matthews, “Account restricted: Only you can see this. You are unable to post.”
