Facebook targets “stop the steal” content ahead of Inauguration Day
To a non-us citizen and somebody who believes in free speech, this whole debacle looks like the parties behind who own our social media trying to stop in anyway the possibility that, maybe, just maybe, there might have been something fishy going on in the voting process.<p>Why would they otherwise go through so lengthy processes in order to stop the spreading of this information ? Claiming it is because of possible violence seems unbelievable, seeing as it is arms manufacturers and so on still have a voice on these platforms, like Raytheon and what have you, who are killing more people every day through their actions than what this political upheaving has done.<p>To me, it seems that some parties are ready to stomp on freedom of speech as a basic right in order to make sure that this information does not get to spread. Why, I ask ?<p>Why would they be so interested in this fact ? Is it a threat to them ? Why suddenly all platforms are stopping the spreading of this information.<p>I just ask this, to me it seems like they have a lot to lose perhaps in this game personally, the owners of these platforms.<p>Maybe we should just ban everything, I mean, look at Uganda for example what they are doing before the elections: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;techjaja.com&#x2F;govt-blocks-google-playstore-apple-appstore-and-youtube&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;techjaja.com&#x2F;govt-blocks-google-playstore-apple-apps...</a>. Banning all play store, app store and youtube :D<p>Is this the next step then? Sounds like those who own these platforms are starting to show their true nature.
