The End Of Freedom Of Speech

"If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear."
George Orwell

 Apparently the tech titans now are complicit in denying you such liberty and curtailing your right to freedom of speech. Here is a good example of what is happening:

 "Wrong thinking" will be punished, while "right thinking" will be rewarded.

 If we continue to tolerate such things, we might as well turn control of our world over to robots.

    This should show you how deluded the American people have become - a US Senator thinks we have to curtail free speech so that democracy can survive:

    This is just about the most idiotic thing I've heard all year.
